Is brand.grand-prix-innovation-carrefour-2026.fr legit or a scam?
Fake Carrefour innovation competition clone using a hyphenated brand-keyword domain to impersonate the real 2024–2025 event.

MT Intelligence
Our analysis confirms this site is a clone of Carrefour's real 'Grand Prix de l'innovation' consumer voting campaign. The page title and layout match Carrefour's legitimate event pages hosted at carrefour.fr and communaute.carrefour.fr, but this fake version uses a constructed subdomain (brand.grand-prix-innovation-carrefour-2026.fr) with a future year to appear official. No official Carrefour announcement or page references a 2026 edition or any separate branded domain like this one. The domain has no business registration in France, no contact information, and does not appear in any web search results, news articles, or Carrefour communications. Our fingerprint analysis detected this as a clone of carrefour.fr. A related variant domain (grand-prix-innovation-carrefour-2025.fr) appears in domain directories, suggesting a pattern of similar constructed impersonation domains. The clean antivirus scan and valid SSL certificate are typical of credential-harvesting clones designed to look legitimate during the initial visit.
