Streetwear storefront graestudios.com runs on legal pages copied from an unrelated supplement seller and publishes no way to identify its operator
Grae Studios sells tees, long sleeves and hoodies on Shopify with same-site cart and checkout links, and its About page describes a label 'Based out of LA, California'. The site's own legal text does not match that story: the intellectual-property clause states that all content is 'the property of Nirex', a supplement business, and the only off-domain mailbox seen belongs to nirex.com. No phone number, postal address or domain email is published, and the domain was registered only 57 days before capture. Technical checks are clean, but the operator side is not, so the site sits in the High Risk band rather than being treated as a normal small shop.

- MinorNo domain email, phone number or postal address was found on the pages reviewed, and the only off-domain mailbox domain seen is nirex.com.
- MinorThe domain was registered on 11 September 2026 and was 57 days old at capture, despite an 'LA-based label' narrative.
What pushed the score up
- SupportsSafe Browsing returned no threat warning, TLS is valid, and the hosting IP has an abuse confidence score of 0/100.

Lost money or shared details on graestudios.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 graestudios.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
Tucows Domains Inc. takes abuse reports at domainabuse@tucows.com (+1.4165350123). 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.

01 · Investigation Brief
Investigation Brief
Grae Studios sells tees, long sleeves and hoodies on Shopify with same-site cart and checkout links, and its About page describes a label 'Based out of LA, California'. The site's own legal text does not match that story: the intellectual-property clause states that all content is 'the property of Nirex', a supplement business, and the only off-domain mailbox seen belongs to nirex.com. No phone number, postal address or domain email is published, and the domain was registered only 57 days before capture. Technical checks are clean, but the operator side is not, so the site sits in the High Risk band rather than being treated as a normal small shop.
The legal pages belong to a different business
The clearest problem is the paperwork. The site's intellectual-property clause says all content on the website, including text, images, logos and product designs, 'is the property of Nirex' and is protected by copyright and trademark law. Nirex is a dietary-supplement brand, not a Los Angeles streetwear label, so the terms and shipping text were lifted from an unrelated store rather than written for this one.
That mismatch matters for buyers because the same copied pages are where return, shipping and refund rules normally live. If the policy text was never adapted to this shop, a customer has no reliable statement of where goods ship from, how long delivery takes, or how a return would be handled.
The About page's 'Based out of LA, California' claim is not backed by anything checkable on the site: no postal address, no phone number and no email on the store's own domain were found on the pages reviewed, and the only off-domain mailbox domain observed is nirex.com.
Clean scanning results do not make the shop accountable
Nothing malicious was detected on the connection or the host: 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 two saved reports. The saved antivirus analysis dates from November 2019, before this domain's current registration, so it describes an earlier owner and says nothing about this site either way.
The domain itself was registered on 11 September 2026 through Tucows and was 57 days old at capture, which is a short history for a label describing itself as an established LA brand. Independent research also flags the shop: one assessment calls it a suspicious store citing the very new domain and no stable public review history, and another describes it as a fraudulent e-commerce site that takes payments through deceptive tactics and collects personal data. Those are third-party vendor assessments rather than documented individual customer complaints, so they support the concern without proving a specific loss.
On the supportive side, the store links out to ten social profiles including Instagram and TikTok, and the commerce stack is ordinary Shopify with PayPal checkout support, which gives some off-site presence and standard payment rails.
What a shopper actually goes through
A visitor lands on a hero photo of two models in GRAE streetwear under a black countdown banner reading 'Early Black Friday Sale / Shop Now and Get Up To 40% Off' with a timer running down. The 'SHOP' and 'SHOP ALL' buttons lead to the store's own collection page, where items such as the AFTER HOURS TEE at $50 reduced to $40 and the ANARCHY LONGSLEEVE at $68 reduced to $50 are listed.
Checkout stays on the same domain, and no cross-domain payment or affiliate redirect appeared in the link graph, so the risk here is not a hijacked payment path. It is that a shopper would be paying a storefront whose terms, shipping rules and ownership cannot be tied to any identifiable business.
The site also collects email addresses through a site-wide 'Enter your email' field and a contact form, while the contact page promises replies within 24 hours without displaying any address to write to.
Why the score is 38
The site's intellectual-property clause states all content is 'the property of Nirex', a supplement business, showing the legal pages were copied from an unrelated store.

The completed checks from this saved scan are detailed above.
graestudios.com was registered very recently when this review was saved and was already flagged. Freshly-registered domains are disproportionately used for scams, and a young domain with active threat signals warrants extra caution.
Contact Verification
Saved contact details can help identify the operator. Their presence supports traceability; it does not prove the business is trustworthy.
- No contact email uses the site's own domain.
- No phone number listed on the captured page.
- No operator postal address visible on the captured page.
- Links to 10 social profiles.
Domain & Encryption
Report this domain to its registrar: send the address and what happened to this contact.
Certificate issued for graestudios.com.
A shared content-delivery network address answers for many sites, so it is not the site's own server and says nothing about who runs it.
Payment providers the page loads
- Shop Pay
Read from the first 20 outside domains the page loads and the shop platform it uses; the web server and platform rows are under Hosting & Technology. A payment script on the page does not prove the shop accepts that method at checkout, or that you are protected.

08 · Final Verdict
Final verdict
Streetwear storefront graestudios.com runs on legal pages copied from an unrelated supplement seller and publishes no way to identify its operator
Grae Studios sells tees, long sleeves and hoodies on Shopify with same-site cart and checkout links, and its About page describes a label 'Based out of LA, California'. The site's own legal text does not match that story: the intellectual-property clause states that all content is 'the property of Nirex', a supplement business, and the only off-domain mailbox seen belongs to nirex.com. No phone number, postal address or domain email is published, and the domain was registered only 57 days before capture. Technical checks are clean, but the operator side is not, so the site sits in the High Risk band rather than being treated as a normal small shop.
