birthdate.shop presents itself as a boutique selling personalised zodiac books and candles under the name "Birthdate". PhishDestroy classifies it as an e-commerce scam: a fake online shop aimed at people looking for astrology-themed or birthday gifts. We first flagged it on 2026-10-16, and as of 2026-10-19 the site was still online with its storefront live.
How the scam works
The page title, "Custom Zodiac Books and Candles | Birthdate", pitches a niche, personalised product. That makes a missing delivery feel plausible, since buyers expect custom orders to take time. Fake shops of this kind take payment, and often name, address and card details, then ship nothing, ship a cheap substitute, or stop answering. Victims lose the purchase price and may expose card data to further misuse. The added waiting time for "custom" items can also push them past the window for a chargeback.
Evidence
urlscan.io rated the site malicious and specifically flagged it as a fake shop, which matches our classification. VirusTotal showed no detections from any of its 92 engines on 2026-10-17. Shopping fraud often slips past these engines because there is no malware or credential form to catch. The domain appears in 3 AlienVault OTX threat pulses. Among blocklists, only PhishDestroy currently lists it, so browser warnings are unlikely to stop a visitor.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through Dynadot Inc. on 2026-06-13, roughly four months before we detected it. That gap leaves time to build a convincing catalogue before drawing attention. The site is hosted on the Malakmadze Web LLC network in Georgia. Its Let's Encrypt certificate gives it a padlock icon, which only means the connection is encrypted and says nothing about whether the seller is genuine.
What to do
If you paid birthdate.shop, contact your card issuer or payment provider now to dispute the charge as non-delivery or fraud, and ask for the card to be replaced if you entered its details. Keep your order confirmation, emails and any tracking numbers as evidence. Watch for follow-up messages asking for extra shipping or customs fees, and do not pay them. If you reused a password to create an account there, change it elsewhere. Defenders and payment teams should block the domain and treat merchant descriptors tied to it as suspect.
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.
