bataglobal.shop is a fraudulent storefront that presents itself as Bata, the footwear brand, under the page title "Make Your Way – Bata | Bata". It targets shoppers looking for discounted Bata shoes who land on what appears to be an official or regional brand outlet. PhishDestroy first detected it on 2026-10-11. As of 2026-10-19 its content was unreachable, but the domain is still registered and could be reactivated.
How the scam works
Fake shops like this copy a real brand's look, slogans and product range, then undercut genuine prices to push visitors into a quick purchase. The "Make Your Way" title borrows Bata's own branding so the store feels legitimate at a glance. Victims pay at checkout and lose the money. They also hand over their name, address, phone number and often full card details, which can be reused or sold. Orders either never arrive or are replaced by cheap items that bear no relation to what was bought.
Evidence
On 2026-10-12, 16 of 92 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain, including BitDefender, ESET, Kaspersky, Fortinet, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, G-Data, Gridinsoft and alphaMountain.ai. That many established vendors agreeing within a day of our detection is a strong signal. urlscan.io returned a malicious verdict and specifically identified the page as a fake shop. Spamhaus lists the domain in its DBL under the phishing category, and it appears in two AlienVault OTX threat pulses.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through Dynadot Inc. on 2026-06-14, about four months before it was caught. That lead time is typical of shop scams that spend weeks building catalogues and running ads before drawing attention. The site is hosted on the Malakmadze Web LLC network in Georgia, which has no connection to Bata's corporate presence. The ".shop" extension and the "global" label are meant to suggest an official international store.
What to do
If you ordered from bataglobal.shop, contact your bank or card issuer at once to dispute the charge and request a replacement card. Watch your statements for further unauthorised transactions. Expect follow-up phishing using the address and phone number you entered, and ignore messages about "delivery problems" or refunds that ask for more payment. Report the purchase to your national consumer-fraud authority. Security teams and payment providers should block the domain, flag merchant transactions tied to it, and watch for lookalike Bata storefronts on newly registered domains.
