biorbpets.shop is a fake online store that borrows the name and look of biOrb, the maker of modern aquariums and terrariums. It targets fish and reptile keepers looking for biOrb tanks at a discount. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-10-16, and as of 2026-10-19 the site was still online and serving its shop pages.
How the scam works
The storefront presents itself under the title "Modern Terrariums and Aquariums for Your Home | biOrb" to look like an official or authorised retailer. Shops like this list popular products at prices well below normal retail and push buyers through checkout fast. The shopper then loses the payment, because the order either never arrives or is replaced with a cheap item that is nothing like what was advertised. Any card details, address and phone number entered at checkout also end up with the operators, who can reuse them for fraud or follow-up scams.
Evidence
urlscan.io rated the site malicious and specifically identified it as a fake shop, which is the strongest independent signal here. On VirusTotal, only 2 of 92 engines flagged it as of 2026-10-16: alphaMountain.ai and Gridinsoft. That low count is typical for a young retail scam, so it should not be taken as a sign the store is safe. The domain appears in 3 AlienVault OTX threat pulses and is listed on the PhishDestroy blocklist.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-05-23 through Dynadot Inc., about five months before PhishDestroy detected it. That gap suggests the domain was either held in reserve or traded quietly before the fake store drew attention. The site is hosted in Georgia on the Malakmadze Web LLC network. Its cheap .shop address, which pairs the brand name with a generic word, fits the common pattern of disposable lookalike storefronts.
What to do
If you ordered from biorbpets.shop, call your card issuer or bank now. Ask them to dispute the charge as merchandise not received or fraud, and to replace the card. Keep your order confirmation and any emails as evidence, and be suspicious of later messages offering refunds or claiming a delivery problem, since these often lead to a second scam. If you created an account there, change that password anywhere else you reused it. Defenders should block the domain at DNS and web proxy level, and retailers or the brand owner can report the impersonation to the registrar and hosting provider.
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.
