Score breakdown
See the live page ↓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.
What this means for you
You were probably about to buy something and enter your card details.
The most likely result is that you pay and nothing ever arrives (or a cheap fake does), and your card details can be reused for fraud.
How this scam works
The trap, step by step
They build a slick store with too-good-to-be-true prices on popular items.
You order and pay — often nudged toward card, bank transfer, or crypto.
Nothing ships (or a cheap counterfeit does), and “support” goes silent.
Your card details may then be resold or reused for further fraud.
Recognising the pattern is the best defence — if a site follows these steps, close it and don't enter anything.

Visual red flags detected in the screenshot
The site exhibits common characteristics of a deceptive single-product storefront, including fabricated media endorsements and artificial scarcity tactics to pressure consumers.
What our vision model saw
5 signalsUses high-pressure sales tactics including a 'Temporarily out of stock' status to drive urgency
Features a 'TechRadar Choice Awards 2025' badge that appears to be fabricated for marketing purposes
Displays logos of major media outlets (TechCrunch, Fox, Wired) at the bottom to imply false endorsement
Generic 'America's #1 Rated' claim without verifiable third-party certification
Typical single-product dropshipping storefront layout often associated with low-quality or non-existent goods
Intelligence
The site presents itself as a direct-to-consumer retailer for a wall-mounted portable air conditioner called EpiCooler. Two independent consumer reports—one on BBB Scam Tracker and one from Watchlist Internet—describe orders placed with no delivery and no confirmation. The page displays a TechRadar Choice Awards 2025 badge and logos from TechCrunch, Fox, and Wired that have no supporting verification. A countdown timer and repeated urgency language push immediate purchase. The domain registered on 25 December 2024 through Registrar.eu with no business registration found in any lookup. One antivirus engine flagged the page malicious while two others marked it suspicious, though browser blocklists remain clean.

A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.

What to do
Fake shop — do not order
Signals common to non-delivery scam shops were detected on this site.
- Do not interact with getepicooler.com
Do not enter credentials, deposit money, download files, or install browser extensions from this site.
- If you already paid by card or PayPal — start a chargeback
Contact your bank or card issuer and dispute the charge as "goods not received" or "merchant fraud." PayPal users can open a case in the Resolution Centre. Act within 120 days for card chargebacks in most jurisdictions.
- Save every piece of evidence
Screenshots of the checkout, order confirmation emails, any chat transcripts, and the product listing page. Chargeback and fraud reports go faster when you have receipts.
- OpenReport the shop
Report to the FTC (reportfraud.ftc.gov), Action Fraud UK, or your local consumer-protection body. Post the URL on the MalwareTips scam forum so other buyers can find it.

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.
A-to-z Guarantee covers eligible orders.
Money Back Guarantee on most purchases.
Major retailer with established returns.
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.

Safety FAQ
Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.
- getepicooler.com shows every sign of being a fake shop — we recommend against paying or entering card details. Our review tagged it for dropshipping. 3 of 92 security engines flag it (1 as outright malicious). The domain is 6 months old through Hosting Concepts B.V. d/b/a Registrar.eu. This pattern matches throwaway sites built to take money or data and disappear.
- No — getepicooler.com scored just 9/100 on our trust scale, and we detected active threat indicators. We recommend avoiding it entirely: don't log in, pay, download anything, or connect a wallet.
- If you've already paid or handed over details on getepicooler.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 getepicooler.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.
- 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.
- 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.
- You can report getepicooler.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.
- 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.
- Yes. 3 of 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged getepicooler.com, 1 of them as outright malicious. Even a single detection from a reputable engine is a meaningful warning, and multiple detections rarely happen by accident.
- No — getepicooler.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.
- getepicooler.com is 6 months old, registered on December 25, 2025 through Hosting Concepts B.V. d/b/a Registrar.eu. A multi-year registration history is one of the stronger signals against a scam, though it's never a guarantee on its own — established domains can still be misused.
- getepicooler.com resolves to an IP operated by Internet Utilities Europe and Asia Limited in US (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.
- Independent trust-rating sites currently show ScamAdviser (40/100) for getepicooler.com. Those scores mix user reviews with their own automated heuristics, so they're useful to compare against our verdict — but treat any single source, including review sites that can be gamed with fake reviews, as one data point rather than the final word.
