Josh & Tate: consumer reports allege unauthorized recurring charges and refund trouble at an unavailable storefront
Josh & Tate presents itself as a home and lifestyle online store, but the site could not be read during this review and independent consumer reports describe unauthorized recurring charges and difficulty getting refunds. One report states a $39 'mystery box' was charged without authorization, and another says a £31 charge appeared after written confirmation that a subscription had been cancelled. A third source assigns a very low trust score and calls the site a likely scam. Because the store's own pages, contact details and policies were never reviewed, and because the adverse reports are specific and consistent, the site is rated High Risk rather than Safe or Low Risk.

Why 28/100
High Risk covers scores 21–44. 3 findings pulled the score down; 2 pushed it up.
What pulled the score down
- Moderate3 independent sources carry complaints or warnings about this site, including: "Then today I received an email for a $39 “mystery box” that was charged to my account. I did not authorize this purchase."
- Moderate3 independent sources carry complaints or warnings about this site, including: "However, on 10 October 2026, another £31 charge appeared on my bank account, despite their written confirmation that the subscription had been cancelled."
- Moderate3 independent sources carry complaints or warnings about this site, including: "In summary, joshandtate.com has a very low trust score which indicates that there is a strong likelyhood the website is a scam."
What pushed the score up
- SupportsThe browser threat feed returned no threat warning and the TLS check found a valid encrypted connection.
- SupportsThe registrable domain is 693 days old, which is context only and not a safety indicator by itself.
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). Community reviews never change the Safety Score.
Lost money or shared details on joshandtate.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 joshandtate.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
GoDaddy.com, LLC registered this domain. ICANN's lookup shows the registrar's abuse contact.
- 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
Josh & Tate presents itself as a home and lifestyle online store, but the site could not be read during this review and independent consumer reports describe unauthorized recurring charges and difficulty getting refunds. One report states a $39 'mystery box' was charged without authorization, and another says a £31 charge appeared after written confirmation that a subscription had been cancelled. A third source assigns a very low trust score and calls the site a likely scam. Because the store's own pages, contact details and policies were never reviewed, and because the adverse reports are specific and consistent, the site is rated High Risk rather than Safe or Low Risk.
Specific consumer reports describe unauthorized charges and refund difficulty
One consumer report states that a $39 'mystery box' was charged to the account without authorization, describing an unexpected recurring-style charge after an initial purchase. A separate report says that on 10 October 2026 another £31 charge appeared on the bank account despite written confirmation that the subscription had been cancelled. These are concrete, target-bound allegations of unauthorized billing rather than generic category warnings.
A third source assigns the site a very low trust score and states there is a strong likelihood the website is a scam. Taken together with the two billing reports, this supports a High Risk assessment focused on the operator's billing and refund practices rather than on any technical malware finding.
Clean technical checks do not offset the operator-level billing risk
The saved technical checks are clean: the browser threat feed returned no threat warning and the TLS check found a valid encrypted connection. Those results mean no detections were recorded at scan time; they do not establish that the store's billing or refund practices are safe.
The site's own page, contact, About and policy text could not be read because the fetch was rate-limited, and the visual capture shows only 'Something went wrong. This store is unavailable.' With the storefront unreachable and no policy text reviewed, there is no on-site evidence to counter the adverse consumer reports.
Why the score is 28
3 independent sources carry complaints or warnings about this site, including: "Then today I received an email for a $39 “mystery box” that was charged to my account. I did not authorize this purchase.". Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

If this is a scam — what it means for you
What a visitor risks when they buy from this store
A visitor who makes an initial purchase may later see an additional charge they did not authorize; one report describes a $39 'mystery box' charge appearing on the account without authorization.
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.
Even after a customer obtains written confirmation that a subscription has been cancelled, a further charge can still appear; one report describes a £31 charge on 10 October 2026 despite that confirmation.
Do not enter payment details on joshandtate.com. If you have already been charged, contact your bank or card issuer promptly to dispute the unauthorized transactions and request a block on further charges from this merchant. Treat any 'mystery box' or subscription offer from this store as high risk, and do not rely on the site's own cancellation confirmations without verifying with your bank that no further charges post.
