On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog.
What is that supposed to mean bro?

I would say it's due to the way this forum handles security, not necessarily a phishing attempt. Then again I'm using different security software than you.
If you open a browser and enter "savingtosuitorsclub.net" you will get the non-secure version (http) of the site and see the "Not secure" notice leftside of the location box:
This indicates the site is either not using a security certificate, or using a self-signed certificate. A website doesn't always need a secure connection. For example if it's just presenting data: http://legacy.weeklyreader.com But if logging users in, entering passwords, making transactions, etc. then security (a private connection) is necessary.
If you manually enter "https://" as a prefix to "savingtosuitorsclub.net" to enforce a secure connection if available, you will see the "Not secure" change to the locked padlock icon indicating a secure connection!
So it appears the site does own a valid security certificate signed by a certificate authority, it's just not enforcing its use.
TL;DR, website has a valid SSL certificate it's just mis-configured and not always using it.

Ok the https trick does work, thanks. However several times while navigating the site padlock switched to unlock.
And what do you think of this...
I see what you did. Went to virustotal.com and did URL check for savingtosuitorsclub.net.
I think if the admins are so lackadaisical about site security then maybe they deserve the label... Phishing site.
