Golf equipment storefront with no disclosed operator, a Gmail-only contact address and a third-party fraud-shop classification
518golf.com sells golf clubs, bags and putters under the name "Golf SUP CN", listing premium brands such as TaylorMade, PING, Callaway, HONMA and Scotty Cameron while claiming its own factory and free custom fitting. The technical side is clean — no antivirus detections, no Safe Browsing warning, valid encryption — but the shop side is thin: the only email contact is a Gmail inbox, no postal address or legal entity is shown, the domain is under a year old, and a third-party scanner rates it 4/100 and describes it as a fraudulent e-commerce site. That combination puts it in the High Risk band rather than Safe.

What pulled the score down
- ModerateThe store's contact address is a free-mail inbox (gmail.com) rather than a mailbox on its own domain.
- ModerateOne public warning on a scam-warning or security site: "518golf.com 是一个欺诈性电子商务网站，通过欺骗性策略收取付款并窃取个人数据。"
- MinorNo operator postal address or registration identifier is visible on the captured pages.
- MinorThe store's only email contact is a Gmail inbox (golfsupcn@gmail.com); no address uses the site's own domain.
What pushed the score up
- SupportsNo antivirus detections across 93 engines, no Safe Browsing warning, valid TLS and a hosting IP with no abuse confidence.
- SupportsA phone number and eight social profiles are listed, plus named WhatsApp contacts.

Lost money or shared details on 518golf.com? Do this now
Act quickly: the first hours matter most for a chargeback.
- Call your bank or card issuer now
Ask them to dispute the charge or open a chargeback; the sooner you act, the better your odds. Card payments can often be reversed. Bank transfers and gift cards are harder, but report them to your bank too. Crypto payments usually cannot be reversed: report the wallet address and transaction ID to the exchange you sent from.
- Change any password you entered
If you entered a password on 518golf.com, change it there and anywhere you reused it, and turn on two-factor authentication. Keep screenshots, order confirmations and messages as evidence.
- Report the site
Reports help get scam sites taken down faster and warn other people.
- Report the domain to its registrar
Cloudflare, Inc. takes abuse reports at registrar-abuse@cloudflare.com (+1.6503198930). Include the address and what happened.
- Ignore anyone offering to recover your money
"Recovery" services or agents who contact you, or ask for a fee up front, are almost always a second scam aimed at victims. Your bank's dispute process and the official reporting services never charge a fee in advance.

Investigation Brief
518golf.com sells golf clubs, bags and putters under the name "Golf SUP CN", listing premium brands such as TaylorMade, PING, Callaway, HONMA and Scotty Cameron while claiming its own factory and free custom fitting. The technical side is clean — no antivirus detections, no Safe Browsing warning, valid encryption — but the shop side is thin: the only email contact is a Gmail inbox, no postal address or legal entity is shown, the domain is under a year old, and a third-party scanner rates it 4/100 and describes it as a fraudulent e-commerce site. That combination puts it in the High Risk band rather than Safe.
Who runs the shop is not disclosed
The captured pages show no operator postal address and no registration identifier, so there is no way to confirm which company stands behind the storefront or where it is based. For a shop that asks for card payment on branded goods, that is the single most important missing piece.
The only email contact is a free Gmail inbox, golfsupcn@gmail.com, and no contact address uses the 518golf.com domain. A shop selling four-figure golf sets through a consumer webmail account gives a buyer no verifiable business identity to fall back on if an order goes wrong.
There is some reachable contact surface: a listed phone number and links to eight social profiles, plus WhatsApp contacts named Vincent, Irene and Dragon. Those channels are real but they are messaging accounts, not a registered business address.
A brand-heavy catalogue on a young domain, rated as a fraud shop elsewhere
The catalogue mixes drivers and putters from TaylorMade, PING, Callaway, HONMA, Titleist, XXIO, Mizuno and Scotty Cameron under a generic "Golf SUP CN" name, with the site stating that all product prices include shipping. Reselling many competing premium brands while describing itself as a factory with its own supply chain is a provenance question the site does not answer.
The domain was registered on 21 November 2025 through Cloudflare and is 349 days old, so there is no long trading history behind the storefront.
Independent scanning describes 518golf.com as a fraudulent e-commerce site that takes payments through deceptive tactics, gives it a trust score of 4/100, and says the site shows characteristics consistent with fake online shops. That is a third-party assessment of the shop pattern, not a record of a specific customer's loss.
Clean technical checks do not make the merchant trustworthy
Nothing malicious was found on the technical side: 0 of 93 engines flagged the domain, the browser threat feed returned no warning, the TLS certificate is valid, and the hosting IP carries an abuse confidence score of 0/100. The screenshot capture was stopped by a Cloudflare "Performing security verification" challenge, which is the site's own bot control rather than a malware signal.
The risk here is commercial, not viral. A clean scan says the page will not infect a visitor's device; it says nothing about whether a paid order arrives, whether the branded clubs are genuine, or who to pursue if they are not. The undisclosed operator and webmail-only contact are what drive the score down.
Why the score is 38
The store's contact address is a free-mail inbox (gmail.com) rather than a mailbox on its own domain.

If this is a scam — what it means for you
What happens when a visitor tries to buy
A visitor who decides to order is routed through the store's own cart and its "Track Order" page on 518golf.com; no cross-domain checkout destination appeared in the captured link graph, so payment would be handed to this storefront directly.
If this is a scam, how it works
The evidence-backed path
Each stage below is preserved from the grounded analysis and linked to saved evidence.
If something goes wrong after payment, the fallback channels are a Gmail inbox, a phone number and WhatsApp contacts, with no postal address or legal entity on the site to escalate to. That is the practical exposure: money paid to an unidentified seller with only informal contact routes.
Do not place an order here unless you can verify the seller independently first. Ask for a registered company name, a postal address and a returns address in writing, and pay only by a method with chargeback protection — never by bank transfer, gift card or crypto. If the shop cannot supply those details, buy the same clubs from an authorised dealer instead.

Domain & Encryption
Cloudflare DNS is used by legitimate and scam sites alike, so it does not identify who runs the site.
Report this domain to its registrar: send the address and what happened to this contact.
Certificate issued for 518golf.com.
A shared Cloudflare address answers for many sites, so it is not the site's own server and says nothing about who runs it.
Payment providers the page loads
None seen among the outside domains we saved.
Read from the first 20 outside domains the page loads and the shop platform it uses; the web server and platform rows are under Hosting & Technology. A payment script on the page does not prove the shop accepts that method at checkout, or that you are protected.
