wisconsincandlecompany.live borrows the name of a Wisconsin candle company to pass itself off as that brand's online store. Its targets are shoppers buying home goods and gifts, not crypto users. PhishDestroy first flagged the domain on 2026-09-21, and it was still online with live content on 2026-10-19. The page title shows a Cloudflare "522: Connection timed out" error, but we classify the domain as an impersonation phishing page.
How the scam works
Fake brand storefronts like this sit on a lookalike name with an unusual extension, here .live, and attract visitors with steep discounts promoted through ads, social posts or spam. At checkout the site collects names, shipping addresses, email and full card details. Victims usually receive nothing or cheap unrelated goods, and their card data can be reused or sold. Any password typed into an account form there should be treated as stolen.
Evidence
On 2026-09-30, 14 of 91 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain, including BitDefender, ESET, Fortinet, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, G-Data, Gridinsoft, alphaMountain.ai and CRDF. That is a wide spread of independent vendors for a site posing as a small retailer. Five OTX threat pulses also reference it, showing other researchers have linked it to malicious activity. PhishDestroy is currently the only blocklist listing it.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through Dynadot Inc on 2026-08-03, about seven weeks before PhishDestroy detected it, a short timeline typical of disposable scam storefronts. Traffic runs through Cloudflare, with the address geolocated to Canada, which keeps the origin server out of view. The 522 error in the title means Cloudflare could not reach that origin at the time the title was captured.
What to do
If you ordered from this site, contact your card issuer immediately, report the charge as fraud, cancel the card and ask about a chargeback, keeping order emails as evidence. If you created an account, change that password wherever you reused it and be wary of fake shipping or refund emails that follow. Buy only from the brand's official site, reached by typing its known address rather than clicking ads. Security teams should block the domain at DNS, proxy and email gateways and report it to Cloudflare and Dynadot for takedown.

Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations
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.
