Look-alike &SONS menswear shop on a 115-day-old domain whose own Terms page names a different website
andssons.com is a working menswear catalogue branded "&SONS" with pound-sterling prices, a basket and a cart, so it is a real transaction shop rather than a redirect or download page. What makes it risky is identity: the domain is 115 days old, the site names no company, email, phone or postal address anywhere we captured, and its own Terms page tells visitors their use of "www.andsons.co.uk" is at their own risk — a different domain from the one being visited. That is the signature of legal text lifted from the genuine &SONS brand site, and it means a buyer cannot tell who is actually taking the money. No malware, phishing form or cross-domain checkout was observed, so the score sits in the High Risk band rather than Dangerous.

Why 38/100
High Risk covers scores 21–44. 4 findings pulled the score down; 3 pushed it up.
What pulled the score down

- ModerateThe site's Terms page says use of "www.andsons.co.uk" is at the visitor's own risk, naming a different domain than the one being visited.
- ModerateThe registrable domain is 115 days old while the footer claims a 2025 copyright as an established brand.
- MinorNo contact email, phone number or postal address was found on the captured pages.
What pushed the score up
- SupportsThe browser threat feed returned no threat warning for the site.
- SupportsThe saved TLS check found a valid encrypted connection.
- SupportsThe Cloudflare hosting address has an abuse confidence score of 0/100 across no saved reports.

Lost money or shared details on andssons.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 andssons.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
BF Internet Limited takes abuse reports at abuse@kenpai.net (+852.68504817). 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.

01 · Investigation Brief
Investigation Brief
andssons.com is a working menswear catalogue branded "&SONS" with pound-sterling prices, a basket and a cart, so it is a real transaction shop rather than a redirect or download page. What makes it risky is identity: the domain is 115 days old, the site names no company, email, phone or postal address anywhere we captured, and its own Terms page tells visitors their use of "www.andsons.co.uk" is at their own risk — a different domain from the one being visited. That is the signature of legal text lifted from the genuine &SONS brand site, and it means a buyer cannot tell who is actually taking the money. No malware, phishing form or cross-domain checkout was observed, so the score sits in the High Risk band rather than Dangerous.
The brand story and the paperwork do not match the domain
The header carries a t-shirt icon and the wordmark "&SONS", the navigation offers CLOTHING, ACCESSORIES, FOOTWEAR and WISHLIST, and the cart badge shows £0.00 — a UK-facing menswear storefront presented as an established brand.
The domain behind it, andssons.com, was registered only 115 days ago, yet the footer reads "Copyright 2025 © andssons.com" as though the shop had been trading for years.
The clearest tell is in the site's own legal text: it states that "You expressly agree that your use of www.andsons.co.uk is at your own risk" — naming andsons.co.uk, not the domain the visitor is on. Legal copy that points at a different website is what you get when a storefront is assembled from another brand's pages.
Nothing on the captured pages identifies who runs the shop: no contact email, no phone number and no postal address were found, so there is no way to check the seller against a company register before paying.
Clean connection checks, but the seller is unverified
The browser threat feed returned no threat warning, the saved TLS check found a valid encrypted connection, and the Cloudflare hosting address has an abuse confidence score of 0/100 across no saved reports. Nothing in the captured pages tried to install software, harvest a password or push a download.
A saved antivirus aggregation does record one malicious result (Bfore.Ai PreCrime) and two spam/suspicious results (alphaMountain.ai, Fortinet) against 56 harmless. That observation is stale, so it is a reason to be careful rather than proof of anything current.
The risk here is commercial, not technical: an undisclosed operator, a brand-new domain and legal text naming someone else's site. Independent web research surfaced only material about the genuine &SONS brand and its app, including one reviewer saying they had not received their order — nothing that verifies this particular domain as an authorised seller.
What happens if you shop here
Product cards carry "Add to basket" links and the header cart leads to /cart/ on the same domain, so the purchase path stays on andssons.com rather than handing off to a third-party merchant. The only off-domain commercial link observed is a footer credit to the theme vendor, EnvoThemes.
The Returns page describes a third-party fulfilment setup with ongoing courier problems, prepaid return postage deducted from the refund, and a right to refuse refunds on items deemed not resalable. Those are ordinary-sounding retail terms, but combined with an unnamed seller they leave a buyer with little recourse if an order goes wrong.
Why the score is 38
1 independent antivirus family reported an adverse result. This comes from a saved antivirus observation rather than a new submission, so treat the detection as real but confirm the timing.

The completed checks from this saved scan are detailed above.
andssons.com was registered very recently when this review was saved and was already flagged. Freshly-registered domains are disproportionately used for scams, and a young domain with active threat signals warrants extra caution.

Final verdict
Look-alike &SONS menswear shop on a 115-day-old domain whose own Terms page names a different website
andssons.com is a working menswear catalogue branded "&SONS" with pound-sterling prices, a basket and a cart, so it is a real transaction shop rather than a redirect or download page. What makes it risky is identity: the domain is 115 days old, the site names no company, email, phone or postal address anywhere we captured, and its own Terms page tells visitors their use of "www.andsons.co.uk" is at their own risk — a different domain from the one being visited. That is the signature of legal text lifted from the genuine &SONS brand site, and it means a buyer cannot tell who is actually taking the money. No malware, phishing form or cross-domain checkout was observed, so the score sits in the High Risk band rather than Dangerous.
