beachwaverhq.shop is an impersonation phishing page dressed up as the official storefront of The Beachwaver Co., the maker of rotating curling irons. Its page title borrows the brand's Allure Best of Beauty award to look like the real shop. The site targets beauty shoppers hunting for a deal on the brand's styling tools. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-10-11, and it was still online and serving its shop content on 2026-10-19.
How the scam works
Fake shops like this copy a real brand's name, product line and award claims, then advertise steep discounts to pull in buyers. At checkout the victim enters a name, delivery address, email, phone number and payment card details. Those details go to the operators, not to The Beachwaver Co. The usual outcome is a paid order that never arrives or a cheap counterfeit, and the stolen card data is often reused for further fraud.
Evidence
On 2026-10-16, 14 of 92 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain. The vendors included alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet and G-Data. urlscan.io rated the site malicious and specifically identified it as a fake shop, which matches our classification. The domain also appears in four AlienVault OTX threat pulses, so other researchers have tracked it independently. It is listed on the PhishDestroy blocklist.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through Dynadot Inc. on 2026-07-18, roughly twelve weeks before we detected it. That gap leaves time to build a convincing storefront and start promoting it. The site is hosted in Georgia on the Malakmadze Web LLC network, which has no connection to the American brand it imitates. It uses a free Let's Encrypt certificate, so the browser padlock only shows an encrypted connection and says nothing about whether the shop is genuine.
What to do
If you placed an order, call your card issuer now, report the charge as fraud, request a chargeback and ask for a replacement card. Watch your statements for unfamiliar transactions. If you created an account with a password you use elsewhere, change it on those other services. Expect follow-up phishing emails or texts that use your order details, and only buy Beachwaver products through the brand's official channels. Security teams should block the domain in web filters and email gateways, and they can report the fake storefront to the brand owner to support a takedown.

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.
