Verdict

Féline Skinscience is a Shopify skincare store with recurring unauthorized-charge complaints and a refund process that pushes customers to ship returns to the Netherlands.

Féline Skinscience presents itself as a skincare shop selling physical goods through a standard Shopify-style storefront with 'Shop now', 'View cart' and 'Track your order' calls to action. The technical layer is largely clean: the connection is encrypted and the browser threat feed reports no threat warning, though one saved antivirus observation marks the URL as suspicious. The operator and customer-risk picture is the problem. External complaint evidence describes customers being billed for a recurring 'Subscribe and Save' plan they say they never agreed to, and being told to return goods to a Netherlands address at their own cost before any refund. The site's own contact block lists a Netherlands street address alongside a US Wyoming phone number and an email on a different domain than the storefront, and the page automatically redirected the browser to Google during review. That combination of billing complaints, a restrictive return path and mismatched contact details places this in the High Risk band.

Treat this store as high risk. If you are considering a purchase, avoid entering card details for any 'Subscribe and Save' or trial offer, since the complaint evidence describes recurring charges customers say they did not authorize. If you have already been charged, dispute the transaction with your card issuer or payment provider promptly and keep copies of the order confirmation, the charge and any support correspondence, because the stated refund path requires you to ship goods back to the Netherlands at your own cost.

Investigation Brief

Féline Skinscience presents itself as a skincare shop selling physical goods through a standard Shopify-style storefront with 'Shop now', 'View cart' and 'Track your order' calls to action. The technical layer is largely clean: the connection is encrypted and the browser threat feed reports no threat warning, though one saved antivirus observation marks the URL as suspicious. The operator and customer-risk picture is the problem. External complaint evidence describes customers being billed for a recurring 'Subscribe and Save' plan they say they never agreed to, and being told to return goods to a Netherlands address at their own cost before any refund. The site's own contact block lists a Netherlands street address alongside a US Wyoming phone number and an email on a different domain than the storefront, and the page automatically redirected the browser to Google during review. That combination of billing complaints, a restrictive return path and mismatched contact details places this in the High Risk band.

Recurring charges and a return-to-Netherlands refund hurdle

The strongest adverse evidence is customer-facing and specific. One complaint states the customer never signed up for a recurring 'Subscribe and Save' plan yet was charged and shipped product without authorization, and that when they asked to cancel and get a refund they were told to ship the product back to the company's Netherlands address at their own expense. A second complaint summary describes recurring complaints about unauthorized or confusing subscription charges, delayed deliveries, poor product quality or wrong items, and customers feeling pressured to remove negative reviews in exchange for refunds.

Taken together, these describe a subscription-billing and refund-obstruction pattern rather than a simple product-quality dispute: the money leaves automatically, and getting it back requires an international return the customer must fund. That is the mechanism that drives the score down, and it is supported by external complaint evidence rather than by the site's own marketing copy.

Mismatched contact details and an unexplained redirect

The site's own contact block lists the store as Féline Skinscience at Godebaldkwartier 54, 3511 DX Utrecht, Netherlands, with the email info@feline-skinscience.com and the phone number +1 307 414 3698. The address is in the Netherlands, the phone number is a US number, and the email sits on a different domain (feline-skinscience.com) than the storefront (felineskinscience.com). No company registration identifier is shown.

During review the page automatically sent the browser to an unrelated external site, google.com, which the screenshot review confirms as a Google search page. That is not a normal storefront behaviour and leaves the site's current operational status unclear. The storefront itself is a conventional commerce layout with 'Shop now', 'View cart', 'Track your order' and 'Payment Methods' elements, plus Facebook and Instagram links, so the commercial surface looks ordinary even though the contact and navigation signals do not line up.

Clean transport does not offset the billing complaints

On the technical side the picture is mostly benign: the saved TLS check found a valid encrypted connection and the browser threat feed returned no threat warning. One saved antivirus observation did mark the URL as suspicious, but that observation is stale and comes from a single engine, so it is context rather than a confirmed live threat. The registrable domain is 664 days old, which is old enough to be a real operating store rather than a throwaway.

None of that addresses the operator behaviour. Encryption and a clean browsing verdict only mean the connection is not obviously hostile and no blocklist currently flags the URL; they say nothing about whether a customer who enters card details will be billed again next month or will struggle to get a refund. The adverse weight here comes from the complaint evidence and the contact-detail mismatch, not from malware or phishing infrastructure.

Why the score is 38

The page automatically sent the browser to an unrelated external site. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

Your next move

Proceed with caution

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

  1. Analyst recommendation

    Treat this store as high risk. If you are considering a purchase, avoid entering card details for any 'Subscribe and Save' or trial offer, since the complaint evidence describes recurring charges customers say they did not authorize. If you have already been charged, dispute the transaction with your card issuer or payment provider promptly and keep copies of the order confirmation, the charge and any support correspondence, because the stated refund path requires you to ship goods back to the Netherlands at your own cost.

  2. Treat felineskinscience.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

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 felineskinscience.com a scam or a legit website?
felineskinscience.com shows strong warning signs of being a scam site — avoid interacting with it. 1 of 93 security engines flag it. The domain is 1.8 years old through GoDaddy.com, LLC. 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 felineskinscience.com safe to use?
felineskinscience.com has a Safety Score of 38/100 (High Risk). Analysis coverage is strong at 83%. Avoid login, payment and downloads.
I already paid or entered my details on felineskinscience.com — what should I do?
If you've already paid or handed over details on felineskinscience.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 felineskinscience.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 felineskinscience.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.
Is my device at risk after visiting felineskinscience.com?
Just viewing a scam page is usually low-risk on an up-to-date browser — the real danger is what it asks you to DO (enter details, download a file, send money). If you downloaded anything, run a full antivirus scan and treat the file as untrusted. If you entered a password or card number, change the password everywhere you reused it and contact your bank.
How do I report felineskinscience.com?
You can report felineskinscience.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.
felineskinscience.com looks professional — how can it still be 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 felineskinscience.com been flagged by antivirus engines?
Yes. 1 of 93 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged felineskinscience.com 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 felineskinscience.com on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — felineskinscience.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 felineskinscience.com domain?
felineskinscience.com is 1.8 years old, registered on December 28, 2024 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. A registration history of under two years is neither a strong positive nor a strong negative signal on its own.
Does felineskinscience.com have a valid SSL certificate?
Yes — felineskinscience.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YE1, valid for another 39 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 felineskinscience.com 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 felineskinscience.com has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.

Féline Skinscience presents itself as a skincare shop selling physical goods through a standard Shopify-style storefront with 'Shop now', 'View cart' and 'Track your order' calls to action. The technical layer is largely clean: the connection is encrypted and the browser threat feed reports no threat warning, though one saved antivirus observation marks the URL as suspicious. The operator and customer-risk picture is the problem. External complaint evidence describes customers being billed for a recurring 'Subscribe and Save' plan they say they never agreed to, and being told to return goods to a Netherlands address at their own cost before any refund. The site's own contact block lists a Netherlands street address alongside a US Wyoming phone number and an email on a different domain than the storefront, and the page automatically redirected the browser to Google during review. That combination of billing complaints, a restrictive return path and mismatched contact details places this in the High Risk band.
