Verdict

HearthPost is a high-risk store tied to a known fake-shop network

HearthPost presents itself as an online store, but it runs through a storefront platform used by a known fake-shop network. Its independent reputation is also poor, with a 2.1 out of 5 TrustScore. These findings outweigh the clean browser-security and encryption checks, which do not establish that the seller is trustworthy.

Avoid buying from HearthPost. Use a retailer with verifiable ownership, complete contact details, and a substantially stronger independent reputation.

01 · Investigation Brief

Investigation Brief

Strong evidence of a fake-shop operation

The store loads esashop.top, identified in the evidence as a storefront platform used by a known fake-shop network. This direct operational link is the main reason for the High Risk rating.

The store's reputation provides additional reason for caution: the cited review profile gives hearthpost.com a TrustScore of 2.1 out of 5.

The captured page did not show a direct contact email, phone number, or operator postal address, limiting the visible ways to identify or contact the seller.

Clean technical checks do not resolve the seller risk

The saved checks found no browser threat warning and confirmed a valid encrypted connection. Those checks help protect the connection and indicate no detected browser threat, but they do not verify the store operator, merchandise, fulfillment, or customer service.

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. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

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 hearthpost.com a scam or a legit online store?

hearthpost.com is a high-risk fake shop & commercial deception — we recommend against paying or entering card details. Our review tagged it for fake shop. The domain is 1.4 years old through Alibaba Cloud Computing Ltd. d/b/a HiChina (www.net.cn). This pattern matches throwaway sites built to take money or data and disappear.

Is hearthpost.com safe to use?

No — hearthpost.com has a Safety Score of 15/100 (Dangerous) because decisive threat evidence was saved with this scan. Leave the site and do not log in, pay, download anything, or connect a wallet.

I already paid or entered my details on hearthpost.com — what should I do?

If you've already paid or handed over details on hearthpost.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 hearthpost.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 hearthpost.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.

I ordered from hearthpost.com but nothing arrived — is it a fake shop?

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.

How do I report hearthpost.com?

You can report hearthpost.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.

hearthpost.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 hearthpost.com been flagged by antivirus engines?

No — all 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network currently report hearthpost.com as clean. That's a good sign, though antivirus coverage is only one of the many signals we weigh, and brand-new scam sites can appear clean before vendors catch up.

Is hearthpost.com on any phishing or malware blacklists?

No — hearthpost.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 hearthpost.com domain?

hearthpost.com is 1.4 years old, registered on May 30, 2025 through Alibaba Cloud Computing Ltd. d/b/a HiChina (www.net.cn). 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.

Where is hearthpost.com hosted?

hearthpost.com resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. 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.

How often is the hearthpost.com report updated?

This report is a record of the scan run on October 7, 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 hearthpost.com has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
