Verdict

Makeapply is an online shop built on a storefront platform used by a known fake-shop network

Makeapply.com presents itself as an online store with free shipping over $40, order tracking and a payment page. The page loads esashop.top, a storefront platform tied to a known fake-shop network. A third-party review service lists a report calling the site a possible scam, and two security engines flag it. The site does list a phone number, a postal address and an email on its own domain. That contact information does not outweigh the network link, so we rate the site High Risk.

Do not place orders here or enter card details. If you already paid, keep your receipts and contact your card issuer if the order does not arrive as described.

01 · Investigation Brief

Investigation Brief

Makeapply.com presents itself as an online store with free shipping over $40, order tracking and a payment page. The page loads esashop.top, a storefront platform tied to a known fake-shop network. A third-party review service lists a report calling the site a possible scam, and two security engines flag it. The site does list a phone number, a postal address and an email on its own domain. That contact information does not outweigh the network link, so we rate the site High Risk.

Why this store is concerning

The store's pages load esashop.top, a storefront platform used by a known fake-shop network. The domain is about 522 days old, so it is less than two years old.

A listing on a website-checking service says the site has been reported as a possible scam. That is a single report, not a pattern of many complaints.

Technical checks versus who runs the shop

One security engine marked the site malicious and another marked it suspicious, out of 93. The browser threat feed showed no warning, and the connection is properly encrypted. These checks look for malware and phishing. They cannot tell whether a shop actually delivers what it sells.

The site lists support@makeapply.com, a New York phone number and a postal address. However, it names no legal company behind the store, and fake-shop sites can print contact details too.

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.

06 · Your Next Move

Your next move

Avoid this site

Our automated review flagged enough risk that you should treat this site as unverified.

  1. Analyst recommendation

    Do not place orders here or enter card details. If you already paid, keep your receipts and contact your card issuer if the order does not arrive as described.

  2. Do not interact with makeapply.com

    Do not enter credentials, deposit money, download files, or install browser extensions from this site.

  3. Verify the business through independent channels

    Check the company's social profiles, registry records, and search for recent news or reviews that are not hosted on the site itself.

  4. Never use irreversible payment methods

    Crypto, gift cards, wire transfers, and cash apps offer zero buyer protection. Use a credit card or PayPal if you must pay.

  5. Share your experience

    If you have additional context, drop a comment below or post on the MalwareTips forum.

Safer Alternatives

Trying to shop safely? Use a safe option instead

Shopping for a deal? Stick to established retailers with real buyer protection — if a price looks too good to be true on an unknown store, it usually is.

  1. Amazon

    A-to-z Guarantee covers eligible orders.

  2. eBay

    Money Back Guarantee on most purchases.

  3. Walmart

    Major retailer with established returns.

  4. The brand's official site

    Search the brand name + "official site" rather than trusting an ad or unknown store.

Suggestions for safety only — not endorsements. Always verify the address bar before signing in or paying, even on well-known sites.

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 makeapply.com a scam or a legit online store?
makeapply.com is a high-risk fake shop — we recommend against paying or entering card details. Our review tagged it for fake shop. 2 of 93 security engines flag it (1 as outright malicious). 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 makeapply.com safe to use?
No — makeapply.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 makeapply.com — what should I do?
If you've already paid or handed over details on makeapply.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 makeapply.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 makeapply.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 makeapply.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 makeapply.com?
You can report makeapply.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.
makeapply.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 makeapply.com been flagged by antivirus engines?
Yes. 2 of 93 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged makeapply.com, 1 of them as outright malicious. None of these detections came from the engines we treat as highest-confidence, so they are weighed alongside the other checks rather than on their own.
Is makeapply.com on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — makeapply.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 makeapply.com domain?
makeapply.com is 1.4 years old, registered on May 12, 2025 through Alibaba Cloud Computing Ltd. d/b/a HiChina (www.net.cn). A registration history of under two years is neither a strong positive nor a strong negative signal on its own.
Where is makeapply.com hosted?
makeapply.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 makeapply.com report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on October 16, 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 makeapply.com has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
