Verdict

By Esmee looks like a small Dutch webshop running normal discount campaigns, with one stale antivirus flag but no clear scam mechanism.

By Esmee is a Dutch-language webshop that sells clothing and accessories through a standard cart-and-checkout flow, currently promoting an autumn sale. Technical checks are clean: no Safe Browsing warning, a valid TLS connection, and no active malware observation. The only adverse technical note is one older antivirus engine that marked the URL as suspicious; it is a saved result of unclear freshness, not a current detection. On the operator side, the site uses familiar urgency copy with a 50% sitewide promotion and a countdown, which is a common retail tactic rather than a deception pattern, but it is the strongest reason for caution. Because the domain is exactly one year old and the business behind it could not be independently verified, this is a Low Risk rating rather than a full Safe verdict. Visitors should treat the sale as marketing and check a product's price history and the shop's return terms before ordering.

If you choose to shop here, treat the 50% autumn sale as a promotional pitch and compare prices against other retailers before buying. Because the domain is only a year old and the business details could not be independently verified, prefer a payment method with buyer protection such as a credit card or PayPal rather than a direct bank transfer, and read the return and shipping terms before placing an order. The absence of current malware or phishing detections does not guarantee that future orders will be fulfilled as described.

Investigation Brief

By Esmee is a Dutch-language webshop that sells clothing and accessories through a standard cart-and-checkout flow, currently promoting an autumn sale. Technical checks are clean: no Safe Browsing warning, a valid TLS connection, and no active malware observation. The only adverse technical note is one older antivirus engine that marked the URL as suspicious; it is a saved result of unclear freshness, not a current detection. On the operator side, the site uses familiar urgency copy with a 50% sitewide promotion and a countdown, which is a common retail tactic rather than a deception pattern, but it is the strongest reason for caution. Because the domain is exactly one year old and the business behind it could not be independently verified, this is a Low Risk rating rather than a full Safe verdict. Visitors should treat the sale as marketing and check a product's price history and the shop's return terms before ordering.

Technical checks are clean, with one older antivirus note

The saved security checks for this domain are largely reassuring. The browser threat feed returned no threat warning, and the TLS check confirmed a valid encrypted connection, so the site's traffic is not currently flagged as malicious and the connection is protected. The site also presents a standard cart and shop navigation, consistent with an ordinary online storefront rather than a malware or phishing layout.

There is one adverse technical data point: a single antivirus result marked the URL as suspicious. The note itself says this comes from a saved observation rather than a new submission and that the timing should be confirmed. One stale, context-level flag from one engine does not establish that the site is malicious, but it is a reason to keep the score out of the top range.

The shop runs aggressive but common sale pressure

The site's own copy pushes a sitewide autumn sale: a banner reading "HERFSTUITVERKOOP" and a promotion stating a temporary 50% discount across the whole collection, with the line that the offer is valid until 23:59 and that items are gone when stock runs out. A "Profiteer nu" call to action sits alongside it. This is classic urgency marketing; it is not proof of fraud, but it tells the visitor the advertised price is a temporary promotional frame.

On the supporting side, the site publishes a contact address on its own domain, support@by-esmee.nl, which is a small positive signal that the operation is reachable. The registrable domain is only 365 days old, so the shop has not built a long track record. A one-year-old domain is normal for new businesses and is not itself a scam indicator, but combined with the unverified operator details it means the business cannot be vouched for beyond what its own pages state.

What a visitor actually experiences

A visitor arriving on the site lands on a sale banner: "HERFSTUITVERKOOP" with 50% off everything, followed by a prompt to take advantage of the deal. That framing is designed to encourage a quick purchase at the advertised promotional price.

From there the visitor can browse the "Shop" and add items to a cart, which shows a normal cart total. There is no evidence in the reviewed materials of a forced redirect, a hidden subscription, a cross-domain checkout, or any other deceptive flow. The visible transaction is a conventional shopping cart.

Why the score is 72

The saved checks found no material threat, but the evidence was not strong enough for the highest Safe tier. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

Evidence behind this classification

  1. 01The homepage runs a sitewide 50% off autumn sale with a same-day deadline and limited-stock language.
  2. 02The site lists a contact email on its own domain, support@by-esmee.nl.
  3. 03The registrable domain is only 365 days old, so the shop has a short operating history visible online.

06 · Your Next Move

Your next move

Verify before sensitive actions

No material threat was found, but the evidence was not strong enough for the highest Safe tier.

  1. Double-check the exact URL in your address bar

    Confirm you are actually on by-esmee.nl and not a lookalike like b-y-esmee.nl or an IDN homoglyph.

  2. Verify the operator before paying or signing in

    Before a payment, login, or other sensitive step, confirm who runs the site through channels you find yourself, such as an official registry or the company's known social profiles.

  3. Use a password manager

    Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.

  4. Discuss this site on the forum

    If you have first-hand experience with this site — good or bad — share it with the MalwareTips community.

07 · Safety FAQ

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers reflect the saved verdict and evidence in this report.

Is by-esmee.nl a scam or is it safe?
by-esmee.nl has a Safety Score of 72/100 (Low Risk). The saved checks found no material threat, but the report did not meet every requirement for the highest Safe tier. Use normal caution and independently verify the operator before irreversible payments or unusually sensitive actions.
Is by-esmee.nl safe to use?
by-esmee.nl has a Safety Score of 72/100 (Low Risk). Analysis coverage is strong at 83%. Normal caution; verify sensitive actions.
Has by-esmee.nl been flagged by antivirus engines?
Yes. 1 of 93 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged by-esmee.nl as suspicious in the saved analysis from October 2, 2026. A single "suspicious" vote is a weak signal on its own, so it is weighed alongside the other checks rather than treated as a confirmed threat.
Is by-esmee.nl on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — by-esmee.nl is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.
How old is the by-esmee.nl domain?
by-esmee.nl is 1 year old, registered on October 24, 2025 through GoDaddy.com. A registration history of under two years is neither a strong positive nor a strong negative signal on its own.
Does by-esmee.nl have a valid SSL certificate?
Yes — by-esmee.nl presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YE1, valid for another 32 days. Important caveat: SSL only encrypts the connection between you and the site — it does not verify who runs it. Almost all scam sites now have valid SSL too, so a padlock alone never means "safe".
Where is by-esmee.nl hosted?
by-esmee.nl resolves to an IP operated by Shopify, Inc. in CA (Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.
How often is the by-esmee.nl report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on October 24, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about by-esmee.nl has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.

Conclusion

By Esmee is a Dutch-language webshop that sells clothing and accessories through a standard cart-and-checkout flow, currently promoting an autumn sale. Technical checks are clean: no Safe Browsing warning, a valid TLS connection, and no active malware observation. The only adverse technical note is one older antivirus engine that marked the URL as suspicious; it is a saved result of unclear freshness, not a current detection. On the operator side, the site uses familiar urgency copy with a 50% sitewide promotion and a countdown, which is a common retail tactic rather than a deception pattern, but it is the strongest reason for caution. Because the domain is exactly one year old and the business behind it could not be independently verified, this is a Low Risk rating rather than a full Safe verdict. Visitors should treat the sale as marketing and check a product's price history and the shop's return terms before ordering.

Recommended actionIf you choose to shop here, treat the 50% autumn sale as a promotional pitch and compare prices against other retailers before buying. Because the domain is only a year old and the business details could not be independently verified, prefer a payment method with buyer protection such as a credit card or PayPal rather than a direct bank transfer, and read the return and shipping terms before placing an order.
