icareskin.shop takes card payments for skincare orders that multiple customers say never arrived, and support does not answer
icareskin.shop is a Shopify storefront selling discounted branded cosmetics (CeraVe, The Ordinary, e.l.f.) priced in AED and shipping to the United Arab Emirates. The technical surface is clean — valid encryption, no Safe Browsing warning — but the customer record is not: an independent review platform rates the shop 1.4/5 and RatingFacts 1.0/5 from 19 reviews, and the individual reports describe card payments taken with no delivery and no reply by email, phone or WhatsApp. That pattern of paid-but-undelivered orders puts the site in the High Risk band.

Why 28/100
High Risk covers scores 21–44. 3 findings pulled the score down; 3 pushed it up.
What pulled the score down
- 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: "Placed order. Never recieved order. No phone no email or communication."
- Moderate2 independent sources carry complaints or warnings about this site, including: "The consistent themes are that money was deducted but no products were delivered, and attempts to contact the company or get a refund were ignored."
What pushed the score up
- SupportsThe browser threat feed returned no threat warning and the saved TLS check found a valid encrypted connection.
- SupportsThe domain is about 2 years 8 months old.
- SupportsThe store publishes a domain email address, a UAE phone number and a postal address.
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 icareskin.shop? 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 icareskin.shop, 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
GoDaddy.com LLC takes abuse reports at abuse@godaddy.com (+1.4806242505). 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
icareskin.shop is a Shopify storefront selling discounted branded cosmetics (CeraVe, The Ordinary, e.l.f.) priced in AED and shipping to the United Arab Emirates. The technical surface is clean — valid encryption, no Safe Browsing warning — but the customer record is not: an independent review platform rates the shop 1.4/5 and RatingFacts 1.0/5 from 19 reviews, and the individual reports describe card payments taken with no delivery and no reply by email, phone or WhatsApp. That pattern of paid-but-undelivered orders puts the site in the High Risk band.
What buyers report after paying
The complaints are specific and consistent. One buyer says an order was placed and never received, with no phone, email or other communication from the shop. Another says items worth almost 300 AED were paid for by card and none arrived, and that WhatsApp, phone and email attempts went unanswered. A third says skincare products never arrived and the listed phone number was not reachable.
A review summary of the same platforms describes the recurring theme as money deducted with no products delivered, and contact or refund attempts ignored. The aggregate ratings match that picture: an independent review platform shows the shop as "Bad" at 1.4 out of 5, and RatingFacts shows 1.0 out of 5 from 19 reviews.
Clean connection, unresolved operator risk
Nothing on the technical side suggests malware, a credential-harvesting form or a redirect to another site. The saved TLS check found a valid encrypted connection and the browser threat feed returned no threat warning. A saved antivirus snapshot does carry one adverse result, with Webroot and Gridinsoft named, but it is a stale observation rather than a fresh scan, so it is supporting context rather than the core finding.
The risk sits with the operator and the transaction. The domain is about 2 years 8 months old and the store publishes a domain email, a UAE phone number and a postal address, which is more than a bare shell would show — but none of that has translated into delivered orders or answered support requests for the customers who wrote in.

If this is a scam — what it means for you
What happens when you check out here
A visitor browses the catalog, adds branded cosmetics to the cart and pays by card at the same-site checkout, which advertises "100% secure online payment" and free shipping over AED 200. The cart and payment pages stay on icareskin.shop; no cross-domain order path was found.
If this is a scam, how it works
The evidence-backed path
Each stage below is preserved from the grounded analysis and linked to saved evidence.
According to the published customer reports, the money leaves the account and the goods do not follow. Buyers describe card charges of a few hundred AED with nothing shipped, and then a support channel that does not respond — the listed phone number reported as unreachable and email and WhatsApp messages left unanswered.
Do not place an order here. The shop's own pages look ordinary, but the documented customer experience is payment taken with no delivery and no working support line, and a refund is unlikely to be honoured if nobody answers. Buy these brands from an authorised UAE retailer or a marketplace with buyer protection instead.
Risk pattern correlation
Captured signals match known risk patterns
Moderate 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.
- IP 23.227.38.65 has 91 abuse reports — likely part of a network.
- Short name on low-trust .shop TLD — over-represented on scam farms.

Certificate issued for icareskin.shop.
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.

Final verdict
icareskin.shop takes card payments for skincare orders that multiple customers say never arrived, and support does not answer
icareskin.shop is a Shopify storefront selling discounted branded cosmetics (CeraVe, The Ordinary, e.l.f.) priced in AED and shipping to the United Arab Emirates. The technical surface is clean — valid encryption, no Safe Browsing warning — but the customer record is not: an independent review platform rates the shop 1.4/5 and RatingFacts 1.0/5 from 19 reviews, and the individual reports describe card payments taken with no delivery and no reply by email, phone or WhatsApp. That pattern of paid-but-undelivered orders puts the site in the High Risk band.
