amazon-clone-project-chi[.]vercel[.]app

Analysis of the domain amazon-clone-project-chi.vercel.app indicates it was actively impersonating Amazon as part of an e-commerce scam. The domain, registered on February 21, 2026, through Tucows Domains Inc., resolved to the IP address 216.198.79.67, hosted under Amazon.com, Inc.'s AS16509 in the United States. Google Safe Browsing flagged the site for social engineering, and it appeared on at least one security blocklist, including PhishDestroy. The page title, 'Amazon Clone,' directly confirms the intent to mimic the legitimate Amazon platform, aligning with the scam type classification of an e-commerce scam.

VirusTotal detections from 15 of 93 security vendors further corroborate the malicious nature of this domain. The SSL certificate was issued by Google Trust Services (WR1), a common provider for both legitimate and fraudulent sites, offering no inherent trust signal. The domain was hosted on Vercel infrastructure, and HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) was enforced, which may have been used to lend an appearance of legitimacy. As of the report date, the domain returned an HTTP 451 status, indicating it has been taken offline, likely due to enforcement actions.

Defenders should treat this domain as confirmed malicious and update blocklists accordingly. The combination of brand impersonation, social engineering flags, and detection by multiple security vendors provides strong evidence of its use in fraudulent activity. No further content analysis is available, but the page title and scam classification suggest it was designed to deceive users into submitting payment or personal information under false pretenses. Organizations should monitor for related domains leveraging similar naming patterns or Vercel hosting, as this infrastructure remains a common vector for phishing campaigns.
