rhodeskinpetal.shop presented itself under the page title "Rhode Skin", borrowing the name of the popular skincare label to look like an official or authorised storefront. Its targets were shoppers hunting for Rhode products, especially anyone chasing a discount or a sold-out item. PhishDestroy first flagged the domain on 2026-08-27. The site has been offline since 2026-09-08, its DNS no longer resolves, and it was still dead when rechecked on 2026-10-19.
How the scam works
Brand-impersonation shops like this copy the look and product names of a real label, then pair them with prices or bundles the genuine brand would never offer. The ".shop" domain and the word "petal" tacked onto the brand name are meant to read as a legitimate regional or promotional store. At checkout the victim enters a name, address, email and card details. The usual outcome is a charge with no product delivered, or a cheap counterfeit, and the stolen card and personal data can be reused for further fraud.
Evidence
Six of 90 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain as of 2026-09-06: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Gridinsoft, Netcraft, PhishFort and SOCRadar. That is a modest count, but it includes vendors that specialise in phishing and brand protection, which fits a lookalike retail site better than a generic malware verdict would. The domain also appears in four AlienVault OTX threat pulses, so other researchers were tracking it independently. Among blocklists, only PhishDestroy lists it.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through Spaceship, Inc. and served from an address on Cloudflare, Inc.'s network, with the hosting location given as Canada. A front network like this hides the real origin server, so the visible IP says little about who ran the shop. The operation was short-lived: it went offline about twelve days after PhishDestroy first detected it. That fits disposable storefronts that rotate to fresh domains once they start getting flagged.
What to do
If you placed an order on this site, contact your card issuer right away, report the charge as fraud, and ask for the card to be cancelled and reissued. Watch your statements for small test charges, and treat follow-up emails about "delivery problems" or refunds as likely phishing. If you reused a password when creating an account there, change it wherever else you use it. Buy Rhode products only through the brand's official channels or retailers it names. Defenders should block the domain, look for other lookalike Rhode domains on new TLDs, and report fresh clones to the brand owner and the registrar.

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.
Keep original emails, receipts, messages and screenshots in a secure place. A factual timeline helps the receiving authority understand what happened. IC3 evidence guidance ↗
