bigelowtea.shop is a fraudulent storefront that passes itself off as the official Bigelow Tea store. Its page title copies the brand's own wording: "Official Site - Shop for Tea Online at the Bigelow Tea Store | Bigelow Tea". It targets ordinary shoppers looking for discounted tea and gifts. PhishDestroy first detected it on 2026-10-16, and it was still online with its shop content live on 2026-10-19.
How the scam works
Fake shops like this copy a real brand's catalogue and look, then advertise prices low enough to make buyers act fast. The shopper fills a cart, enters a shipping address and pays, usually by card. The order either never arrives or a cheap substitute shows up, and the checkout form gives the operators the buyer's name, address, email and payment card details, which can be reused for further fraud. The .shop domain and the "Official Site" title are what make the store look like a genuine Bigelow outlet.
Evidence
urlscan.io rated the site malicious and specifically flagged it as a fake shop, which is the strongest independent signal here. On VirusTotal, 4 of 92 engines flagged it on 2026-10-16: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, G-Data and Gridinsoft. That count is low, so most browser and antivirus protections will not warn visitors yet. The domain also appears in 4 AlienVault OTX threat pulses and is on the PhishDestroy blocklist.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through Dynadot Inc. on 2026-05-21, about five months before PhishDestroy detected it. That gap suggests the domain was registered in advance and put into use later. The site is hosted in the US on the Malakmadze Web LLC network. Its certificate is a free Let's Encrypt certificate, so the browser padlock only means the connection is encrypted. It says nothing about whether the shop is the real Bigelow Tea.
What to do
Do not buy anything from bigelowtea.shop. If you already paid, contact your card issuer or bank right away, report the charge as fraud, ask for a chargeback and have the card replaced. Watch your statements for further unauthorized charges, and expect phishing emails aimed at the address you used at checkout. Report the site to Bigelow Tea so the brand can pursue a takedown. Security teams should block the domain and its hosting IP and check proxy logs for any user purchases.

Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.

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 bigelowtea.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
