Shop shows non-delivery red flags
Domain is only 36 days old. Several red flags typical of non-delivery shops are present. Don't pay by crypto or wire, and keep the chargeback window in mind.
Is discreetempire.ca legit or a scam?
New 36-day-old Canadian vape shop with scam reports on Reddit for taking money without shipping products, flagged suspicious by Gridinsoft.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.
Analysis Summary
MT Intelligence
This site sells disposable vapes and devices with discreet packaging, using a Wix template and age-gate modal common for vape shops. The strongest red flag is multiple scam reports, including Reddit accusations of non-delivery of THC vapes after payment. Supporting issues include the domain's young age of 36 days, no contact email or address, and the hosting IP's abuse reports. A few positive Reddit comments praise discreet shipping, but they don't outweigh the complaints and lack of business registration. Our verdict confidence rose with confirmed non-delivery claims.
