Verdict

Craftobuy is a young online store with off-site contact addresses tied to a domain that has a non-delivery complaint

Craftobuy.com is a shop with 'Buy It Now' buttons and a 'Your Luck Awaits' warehouse banner. The domain is 340 days old. Its contact addresses are a Gmail inbox (adorebuyservice@gmail.com) and a service@ mailbox on a different domain, amznluckypallet.com. Neither uses the site's own name. Adorebuy.com is the domain named in that Gmail address, and a complaint site says of it: 'They will take your money and not send any product.' No phone number or postal address is shown. Two antivirus engines flag the URL as suspicious. Together these store-structure warning signs put the site in the High Risk band, even though the basic technical checks are clean.

Avoid paying on Craftobuy. If you have already ordered, use a card or payment method that offers buyer protection, keep all receipts, and dispute the charge if goods do not arrive.

Investigation Brief

Craftobuy.com is a shop with 'Buy It Now' buttons and a 'Your Luck Awaits' warehouse banner. The domain is 340 days old. Its contact addresses are a Gmail inbox (adorebuyservice@gmail.com) and a service@ mailbox on a different domain, amznluckypallet.com. Neither uses the site's own name. Adorebuy.com is the domain named in that Gmail address, and a complaint site says of it: 'They will take your money and not send any product.' No phone number or postal address is shown. Two antivirus engines flag the URL as suspicious. Together these store-structure warning signs put the site in the High Risk band, even though the basic technical checks are clean.

Who runs the store is unclear

The store gives no email on its own domain. Instead it lists a free Gmail inbox and a generic service@ address at amznluckypallet.com, a pattern repeated across fake-shop networks. The captured page shows no phone number and no postal address for the operator.

The Gmail contact is named after adorebuy. A complaint listing about adorebuy.com says the seller takes money and does not send the product. This is one complaint about a linked name, not a confirmed report about craftobuy.com itself.

Clean connection, risky seller

The browser threat feed shows no warning, and the connection is validly encrypted. However, two antivirus engines rate the URL as suspicious, though that result is from an older saved check. Clean technical checks mean only that nothing malicious was detected. They do not show that the seller delivers orders.

Why the score is 30

The store's contact address is a free-mail inbox (gmail.com) rather than a mailbox on its own domain. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

06 · Your Next Move

Your next move

Proceed with caution

Our automated review flagged enough risk that you should treat this site as unverified.

  1. Analyst recommendation

    Avoid paying on Craftobuy. If you have already ordered, use a card or payment method that offers buyer protection, keep all receipts, and dispute the charge if goods do not arrive.

  2. Treat craftobuy.com as unverified

    Do not enter credentials or send money until you have independently verified the business.

  3. Verify the business through independent channels

    Check the company's social profiles, registry records, and search for recent news or reviews that are not hosted on the site itself.

  4. Never use irreversible payment methods

    Crypto, gift cards, wire transfers, and cash apps offer zero buyer protection. Use a credit card or PayPal if you must pay.

  5. Share your experience

    If you have additional context, drop a comment below or post on the MalwareTips forum.

Safer Alternatives

Trying to shop safely? Use a safe option instead

Shopping for a deal? Stick to established retailers with real buyer protection — if a price looks too good to be true on an unknown store, it usually is.

  1. Amazon

    A-to-z Guarantee covers eligible orders.

  2. eBay

    Money Back Guarantee on most purchases.

  3. Walmart

    Major retailer with established returns.

  4. The brand's official site

    Search the brand name + "official site" rather than trusting an ad or unknown store.

Suggestions for safety only — not endorsements. Always verify the address bar before signing in or paying, even on well-known sites.

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 craftobuy.com a scam or a legit online store?
craftobuy.com looks like a likely fake shop — we recommend against paying or entering card details. Our review tagged it for fake shop. 2 of 92 security engines flag it. The domain is 11 months old through Alibaba Cloud Computing Ltd. d/b/a HiChina (www.net.cn). It may not be an outright scam, but the risk is high enough that you should verify it independently before trusting it with money or data.
Is craftobuy.com safe to use?
craftobuy.com has a Safety Score of 30/100 (High Risk). Analysis coverage is strong at 83%. Avoid login, payment and downloads.
What should I do if I already gave my details to craftobuy.com?
If you've already paid or handed over details on craftobuy.com, act quickly. 1) Contact your bank or card issuer immediately and ask to dispute the charge or open a chargeback — the sooner you act, the better your odds. 2) Report the site to the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov or the FBI's IC3 at ic3.gov, and in the UK to Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. 3) If you entered a password, change it on craftobuy.com and anywhere you reused it, and turn on two-factor authentication. 4) Watch your bank and email for follow-up fraud, and keep screenshots as evidence.
Can I get my money back from craftobuy.com?
Often yes, if you act fast. Payments made by credit or debit card can frequently be reversed through a chargeback or dispute — contact your bank right away and explain it was a fraudulent site. Bank transfers and gift-card or voucher payments are much harder to recover, but you should still report them to your bank and to the FTC (reportfraud.ftc.gov) or Action Fraud (actionfraud.police.uk). Avoid any "refund" or "recovery" service that contacts you first — it's usually a follow-up scam.
I ordered from craftobuy.com but nothing arrived — is it a fake shop?
That's the classic pattern of a fake or non-delivery shop. These sites take payment for products that never ship, or send cheap counterfeits, then go quiet and eventually disappear. If you paid by card, contact your bank about a chargeback for "goods not received." Keep your order confirmation and any messages, don't pay extra "customs" or "release" fees they may demand, and report the store so others are warned.
How do I report craftobuy.com?
You can report craftobuy.com through several official channels: the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at ic3.gov, and — in the UK — Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. You can also flag it to Google Safe Browsing (safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish) so other browsers warn about it, and report it to the company being impersonated if there is one. Reporting helps get scam sites taken down faster.
Why does craftobuy.com look legitimate if it's a scam?
Modern scams are built to look convincing. A valid SSL padlock, a polished template, stock photos, fake reviews, and a trust badge can all be added in minutes and prove nothing about who runs the site. Scammers buy cheap domains, clone real designs, and copy legal pages wholesale. That's exactly why an automated review that checks the domain's age, hosting, blacklists, and behaviour — rather than just how the page looks — is more reliable than a first impression.
Has craftobuy.com been flagged by antivirus engines?
Yes. 2 of 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged craftobuy.com as suspicious in the saved analysis from October 2, 2026. These are "suspicious" votes rather than confirmed malicious detections, so they are weighed alongside the other checks.
Is craftobuy.com on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — craftobuy.com 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 craftobuy.com domain?
craftobuy.com is 11 months old, registered on November 10, 2025 through Alibaba Cloud Computing Ltd. d/b/a HiChina (www.net.cn). A registration history of under two years is neither a strong positive nor a strong negative signal on its own.
Does craftobuy.com have a valid SSL certificate?
Yes — craftobuy.com presents a valid TLSv1.2 certificate issued by ZeroSSL GmbH · ZeroSSL RSA DV SSL CA 2, valid for another 72 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".
How often is the craftobuy.com report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on October 16, 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 craftobuy.com has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
