balajiwafershq.shop is a fake online store that presents itself as an official Balaji Wafers outlet under the page title "Wafers by Balaji | Balaji Wafers". It targets people looking to buy the brand's chips and snacks online. The "hq" in the name and the cheap .shop extension are meant to suggest a headquarters storefront. PhishDestroy first detected it on 2026-10-10, and as of 2026-10-19 the site was still online and serving its shop content.
How the scam works
Fake shops like this copy a familiar brand's name and product line, then use low prices or bulk deals to push visitors to checkout quickly. The buyer pays, often by bank transfer, UPI or card, and the order never ships. Sometimes a fake tracking number or excuses buy time until the site disappears. Victims lose the payment itself, along with the name, phone number, delivery address and any card details typed into the checkout form.
Evidence
On 2026-10-16, 10 of 92 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain, including BitDefender, ESET, Fortinet, G-Data, Netcraft, alphaMountain.ai, Gridinsoft and LevelBlue. That is a minority of engines, but several of these vendors run dedicated fraud and phishing feeds. urlscan.io returned a malicious verdict and specifically identified the page as a fake shop. The domain also appears in four AlienVault OTX threat pulses and on the PhishDestroy blocklist.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through Dynadot Inc. on 2026-04-21, almost six months before PhishDestroy caught it. That gap suggests it was registered in advance and activated later, or that it ran quietly for a while. It is hosted on the Malakmadze Web LLC network, a Georgian-registered provider, at an IP address located in the United States.
What to do
If you paid on this site, contact your bank or card issuer immediately to dispute the charge or request a chargeback. Report the transaction to your payment app if you used UPI or a wallet service, and keep receipts and screenshots. If you entered card details, ask for the card to be blocked and reissued, and watch for follow-up calls or messages that reuse your phone number or address. Defenders should block the domain and its hosting IP, and report it to the registrar and to Balaji Wafers' brand-protection contacts.
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.

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.
