aclerhq.shop is a fake online shop that copied the identity of Acler, a women's ready-to-wear fashion label. Its page title read "ACLER | Womens Ready To Wear Fashion | Acler | Acler". The "hq" suffix and the cheap .shop extension were meant to pass as an official outlet. It targeted women shopping for designer clothing online. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-09-09. The site has been offline since 2026-09-15, and its DNS was still inactive when we checked on 2026-10-19.
How the scam works
Stores like this copy a real label's product photos, collections and branding, then list items at steep discounts to push quick checkouts. Victims pay by card or another method and either receive nothing or get a cheap item that looks nothing like the listing. Victims lose the purchase price. They also hand over their name, address, phone number and card details, which can be reused for fraud or sold. Shops built this way usually last only a few days before the domain is abandoned, which matches this site going dark less than a week after we spotted it.
Evidence
On 2026-09-10, VirusTotal showed 7 of 89 engines flagging the domain: alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, LevelBlue, Netcraft, SOCRadar and Webroot. A modest count like this is typical for a fake shop caught early, and several of these vendors specialize in commerce fraud. urlscan.io independently rated the page malicious and tagged it specifically as a fake shop. The domain also appears in four AlienVault OTX threat pulses and on the PhishDestroy blocklist.
Infrastructure
The domain resolved to 212.52.28.142 on the network of Malakmadze Web LLC. That provider is registered in Georgia, but the address geolocated to the United States. The site used a free Let's Encrypt certificate, so the padlock in the browser only meant the connection was encrypted. It said nothing about whether the store was legitimate. With DNS now inactive, the domain no longer points anywhere.
What to do
If you ordered from aclerhq.shop, contact your bank or card issuer right away. Report the transaction as fraud, request a chargeback, and ask for the card to be replaced. Watch your statements for unfamiliar charges. Be wary of follow-up emails or texts about "delivery problems" that ask for more payment or personal details. If you reused a password from an account you created on the shop, change it everywhere else. To buy from Acler, go to the label's own website or an authorized retailer instead of following ads or search results. Defenders should block the domain and its IP and add the Acler brand to lookalike-domain monitoring, since copycat shops often reappear under new names.

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.
