Gioiavalle is an Italian-language dropship store built on a known fake-shop network platform, with an independent review platform's reviewers reporting overcharges, missing parcels and refused refunds.
Gioiavalle sells home decor, Christmas items, baby goods, clothing and pet products in euros with free shipping over €19.99, and its terms, returns, shipping and contact pages are live and readable. The problem is who runs it and how it treats buyers: the storefront loads esashop.top, the platform of a known China fake-shop network, no postal address or registration ID appears on the captured pages, and independent an independent review platform's reviewers describe being charged more than the order total, waiting weeks without delivery, and being refused refunds. That combination puts the site in the High Risk band rather than the Safe one, even though no malware was found.

Where this site sits
- Dangerous1–20
- High Risk21–44
- Moderate Risk45–69
- Low Risk70–84
- Safe85–100
The score combines saved evidence strength and analysis quality. Coverage is reported separately.
Why 15/100
Dangerous covers scores 1–20. 6 findings pulled the score down; 4 pushed it up.
Score ceiling 15: Safety Score limited to 15 (Dangerous): the store runs on esashop.top, the storefront platform of a known fake-shop network on which MalwareTips has documented hundreds of fake stores. (Our analysis had scored it 28.)
What pulled the score down
- StrongThe store runs on esashop.top, a storefront platform used by a known fake-shop network, on a 1222-day-old domain.
- Strong1 independent antivirus family reported an adverse result. This comes from a saved antivirus observation rather than a new submission, so treat the detection as real but confirm the timing.
- Moderate2 independent sources carry complaints or warnings about this site, including: "Sono stati addebitati 5,95 Euro in più. A distanza di due settimane dall'ordine non ho nessuna notizia della spedizione."
- Moderate2 independent sources carry complaints or warnings about this site, including: "Italian terms specify 14-day returns; contact claims Xiamen Yuwuyu Technology Co., Ltd as operator. This identity and licensing were not independently…"
- ModerateResearch reports the contact page names a Xiamen company as operator while an independent review platform's profile lists a Miami address.
- MinorNo operator postal address or registration ID is visible on the captured pages.
What pushed the score up
- SupportsThe registrable domain is 1222 days old
- SupportsContact email on the site's own domain (support@gioiavalle.com).
- SupportsPhone number listed (0591-87572535).
- SupportsSafe Browsing returned no warning, TLS is valid and the hosting IP has no abuse reports.
No points per finding are stored for this report: our analysis weighed all findings together to set the score. Each finding shows its saved severity instead (Decisive, Strong, Moderate or Minor).
Lost money or shared details on gioiavalle.com? Do this now
Act quickly: the first hours matter most for a chargeback.
- Call your bank or card issuer now
Ask them to dispute the charge or open a chargeback; the sooner you act, the better your odds. Card payments can often be reversed. Bank transfers and gift cards are harder, but report them to your bank too. Crypto payments usually cannot be reversed: report the wallet address and transaction ID to the exchange you sent from.
- Change any password you entered
If you entered a password on gioiavalle.com, change it there and anywhere you reused it, and turn on two-factor authentication. Keep screenshots, order confirmations and messages as evidence.
- Report the site
Reports help get scam sites taken down faster and warn other people.
- Report the domain to its registrar
Alibaba Cloud Computing Ltd. d/b/a HiChina (www.net.cn) takes abuse reports at domainabuse@service.aliyun.com (+86.95187). Include the address and what happened.
- Ignore anyone offering to recover your money
"Recovery" services or agents who contact you, or ask for a fee up front, are almost always a second scam aimed at victims. Your bank's dispute process and the official reporting services never charge a fee in advance.
Full answers about refunds and reporting are in the Safety FAQ below.
01 · Investigation Brief
Investigation Brief
Gioiavalle sells home decor, Christmas items, baby goods, clothing and pet products in euros with free shipping over €19.99, and its terms, returns, shipping and contact pages are live and readable. The problem is who runs it and how it treats buyers: the storefront loads esashop.top, the platform of a known China fake-shop network, no postal address or registration ID appears on the captured pages, and independent an independent review platform's reviewers describe being charged more than the order total, waiting weeks without delivery, and being refused refunds. That combination puts the site in the High Risk band rather than the Safe one, even though no malware was found.
The storefront runs on a known fake-shop network platform
The page loads esashop.top, a storefront platform used by a known fake-shop network, on a domain registered 1222 days ago. That is infrastructure evidence about how the shop was built, independent of anything the shop says about itself.
No operator postal address is visible on the captured pages and no registration ID is disclosed, even though the site sells physical goods and publishes terms, returns and shipping policies. The only contact points are a domain-matched mailbox, support@gioiavalle.com, and a phone number, 0591-87572535.
Independent research adds a conflicting identity: one analyst report says the contact page names Xiamen Yuwuyu Technology Co., Ltd as the operator, while an independent review platform business profile lists a Miami, USA street address. The domain itself is registered through Alibaba Cloud's HiChina registrar.
Buyers report extra charges, missing parcels and refused refunds
An independent review platform's reviewers describe concrete money problems: one says 5.95 euros were charged beyond the order total and that two weeks after ordering there was still no shipping news; another says two lamps ordered on 5 December never arrived; a third says the shop sends products that do not match the description and then does not refund the money.
A further reviewer reports that a parcel never arrived even after paying for the insurance the site offers, and that nobody answered their emails. An analyst write-up summarising the review record calls the site a fraudulent e-commerce operation and cites an independent review platform's score of 1.5 across 104 reviews.
The record is not uniform. One reviewer says the extra charge was credited back the next day after they raised it and that tracking was punctual, so not every order goes wrong.
Clean technical checks, risky merchant conduct
The browser threat feed returned no threat warning, the saved TLS check found a valid encrypted connection, and the hosting IP carries an abuse confidence score of 0/100 across 0 saved reports. Nothing here suggests malware or a credential-harvesting page.
One antivirus family, Netcraft, returned an adverse verdict in a saved aggregate scan that is stale, so it should be treated as a real but dated signal rather than a fresh detection. The risk that matters here is commercial, not technical.
Why the score is 15
Safety Score limited to 15 (Dangerous): the store runs on esashop.top, the storefront platform of a known fake-shop network on which MalwareTips has documented hundreds of fake stores.

- 01The return policy allows cancellation only before shipment and issues return addresses only by email.
- 02A public record in public web research reads: "Registrar WHOIS Server: grs-whois.hichina.com"
- Also 10 listed under Why 15/100 above
What this means for you
What happens when you place an order
A visitor who checks out can end up charged more than the total shown at the order, according to a reviewer who reports 5.95 euros taken in addition to the order amount.
How the observed mechanism works
The evidence-backed path
Each stage below is preserved from the grounded analysis and linked to saved evidence.
The site's own return policy states that orders can only be cancelled before shipment and that a valid return address is issued only by email, with nothing to be sent before it arrives. Combined with reviewers saying goods did not match the description and refunds were not paid, the practical route to getting money back is narrow.
Do not place an order here. The storefront is built on a known fake-shop network platform, the operator's identity is undisclosed and contradictory, and multiple independent reviewers describe overcharges, parcels that never arrived and refunds that were refused. If you have already paid, raise a dispute with your card issuer or PayPal promptly and keep the order confirmation and any email exchange.
Risk pattern correlation
Independent sources support a broader risk pattern
High-confidence correlationThis view separates independent infrastructure evidence from pattern labels derived from the same captured page. Pattern matches add context, but they do not prove that the site belongs to a cross-domain scam network.
- Built on esashop.top, the storefront platform of a known fake-shop network, on a 1222-day-old domain.
