beautiesofvermontstore.shop is an e-commerce scam posing as Beau Ties of Vermont, the American maker of handmade bow ties, neckties and pocket squares. It uses the brand's own style of page title, "Handmade in the USA: Bow Ties, Neckties and Pocket Squares Experts", and adds "store" to a lookalike of the brand name on a cheap .shop domain. It targets gift buyers and menswear shoppers who search for the brand and land on what looks like its official storefront. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-10-12, and it was still online and serving its shop pages on 2026-10-19.
How the scam works
Fake brand shops like this copy the real catalogue and photography, then list the products at steep "sale" discounts to rush the buyer to checkout. The shopper enters a name, shipping address and card details and pays for ties that never arrive. Sometimes a cheap unrelated item is shipped instead so a tracking number exists. The victim loses the purchase amount and also hands over card data and personal details that can be reused or sold. A crafted page title naming a real artisan brand is what makes the site convincing in search results and shared ads.
Evidence
On 2026-10-16, 11 of 92 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain. They include BitDefender, ESET, G-Data, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Gridinsoft and LevelBlue, a spread of independent vendors rather than a single outlier. urlscan.io rated the site malicious and specifically identified it as a fake shop, which matches our classification. The domain also appears in 4 AlienVault OTX threat pulses, showing other researchers are tracking it.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through Dynadot Inc. on 2026-07-19, about 85 days before PhishDestroy detected it. That gap is consistent with a store being built out before it goes live to buyers. It is hosted on the Malakmadze Web LLC network in Georgia, far from the Vermont brand it imitates. The free Let's Encrypt certificate gives it a browser padlock, which proves nothing about whether the seller is legitimate.
What to do
If you placed an order, call your card issuer now. Report the charge as fraud, request a chargeback and ask for a replacement card. Watch your statements for further unfamiliar charges, and treat follow-up emails about "delivery problems" or refunds as likely phishing. Buy only through the brand's own known site or a verified retailer. Security teams and mail filters should block the domain, and payment providers can use these indicators to flag merchant accounts tied to it.

After a phishing incident
Raccomandazioni e consigli per le vittime
Choose the steps that match what you shared. Keep a copy of this report alongside your own records.
Cosa devo fare subito?
Urgente
Stop using the suspicious site. Open the real service through its official app or an address you already trust.
Modifica tutte le password — e-mail, account Exchange, qualsiasi servizio che utilizzi la stessa password
Abilita l'autenticazione a due fattori (2FA) utilizzando un'app di autenticazione (non via SMS). Disattiva il recupero tramite SMS
Carte congelate se hai inserito i tuoi dati bancari sul sito di phishing
Quali informazioni devo raccogliere per la mia relazione?
Linee guida dell'FBI
Keep original emails, receipts, messages and screenshots in a secure place. A factual timeline helps the receiving authority understand what happened. IC3 evidence guidance ↗
Payment records — if you paid, save the receipt, amount, date, payment provider and recipient details.
Date e orari esatti — di ogni transazione e del primo contatto con il truffatore
Schermate — siti web truffaldini, messaggi in chat, e-mail, transazioni tramite portafoglio digitale, social media
Tutti gli URL e i domini utilizzato dal truffatore (tra cui beautiesofvermontstore.shop)
Comunicazioni — e-mail, SMS, numeri di telefono, nomi utente utilizzati dal truffatore
Anche se non conosci tutti i dettagli — sporgere comunque denuncia. Anche le informazioni parziali sono comunque utili alle indagini.
A chi devo segnalare la truffa?
FBI IC3 — Internet Crime Complaint Center (sistema di segnalazione federale degli Stati Uniti)
Europol — Segnalazioni relative alla criminalità informatica in Europa (UE)
Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
Polizia locale — crea un documento ufficiale, anche se non è in grado di agire immediatamente
A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.
How do phishing scams typically work?
Siti web fasulli — cloni perfetti, al pixel, di siti legittimi con domini leggermente modificati
Macellazione dei suini — fiducia conquistata nel corso di settimane tramite Telegram/WhatsApp/app di incontri, per poi rubare i soldi
Truffe legate al recupero dei fondi — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
Truffe basate sull'intelligenza artificiale — i deepfake, il phishing automatizzato e i siti generati dall’intelligenza artificiale rendono più difficile individuare le frodi
Come posso proteggermi in futuro?
Aggiungi i siti ufficiali ai preferiti — Non cliccare mai sui link contenuti nelle e-mail, nei messaggi diretti o negli annunci pubblicitari
Verifica i domini — controllare PhishDestroy prima di interagire. Verifica l'HTTPS, l'ortografia e l'età del dominio
"Troppo bello per essere vero" = truffa — rendimenti garantiti, testimonial di personaggi famosi, scadenze urgenti
