bestvapehq.shop is a fake online store selling disposable vapes. It presents itself as an "Official Partner for Lost Mary, Off-Stamp, Geekbar & Others" under the name BEST VAPE. It targets shoppers looking for popular vape brands at attractive prices. PhishDestroy first detected it on 2026-10-13, and as of 2026-10-19 the site is still online with its storefront fully working.
How the scam works
The page title claims official partnership with several well-known vape brands. That borrowed credibility is meant to make low prices look legitimate rather than suspicious. Shops like this collect the buyer's payment, name, address and often card details at checkout, then ship nothing, send a cheap substitute, or stop responding once the money clears. The losses are the purchase amount and the personal and payment data typed into the order form, which can be reused for further fraud.
Evidence
On 2026-10-17, VirusTotal showed 13 of 92 engines flagging the domain. They include BitDefender, ESET, Fortinet, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, G-Data, Gridinsoft, CyRadar and alphaMountain.ai. That is a minority of engines, but the flags come from several unrelated vendors. urlscan.io rated the site malicious and specifically marked it as a fake shop. Spamhaus lists the domain in its DBL as spam. Four AlienVault OTX threat pulses reference it, so other researchers have tracked it independently.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through Dynadot Inc. on 2026-05-10, about five months before PhishDestroy flagged it. Shop scams often age a domain like this before running heavy promotion. The server sits on the network of Malakmadze Web LLC, a Georgian-registered provider, with the IP located in the United States. The site uses a free Let's Encrypt certificate, so the padlock in the browser says nothing about whether the shop is genuine.
What to do
If you paid on this site, contact your bank or card issuer now. Report the transaction as fraud and request a chargeback, then ask for a replacement card if you entered card details. Watch your statements for unfamiliar charges. Treat follow-up emails or messages about "delivery issues" or extra fees as part of the scam. Change any password you reused when creating an account there. Defenders should block the domain at DNS and web proxies, add it to e-commerce fraud watchlists, and report it to the brands named in the page title and to the registrar.
For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
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.
Saved certificate metadata. Certificate dates without a timezone are shown as stored. Transport encryption does not establish that the site is trustworthy.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
