makiastore.shop is a copy of the Makia Clothing store run by an unidentified operator, with no verifiable seller behind it
The store describes itself as the official Makia Clothing shop from Helsinki, but the domain is 120 days old and does not belong to the brand. Its only contact address is support@makiaclothing.com, a mailbox on the real brand's domain, and its pages are built on the storefront of a known brand-clone network. The captured pages name no company, phone number, postal address or business ID, so a buyer has no way to confirm who is selling. No captured evidence shows an actual failed delivery or card misuse on this site, but the impersonation and missing operator are serious enough to score it High Risk.

- -3
- Score30
What pulled the score down
- StrongThe store's only contact address is on makiaclothing.com, the domain of the brand its own name copies, and its pages are built on the storefront of a known brand-clone shop network.-6 pts
- 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.-3 pts
- MinorThe domain is 120 days old despite the store's claimed 2001 heritage.
- MinorNo company name, phone number, postal address or business ID appears on the captured pages.
What pushed the score up
- SupportsThe browser threat feed shows no threat warning and the TLS connection is valid.
Points come from the saved evidence ledger: it lowered the score from 39 to 30 and split those 9 points between the findings that show points; the others carry no points in the ledger.
Lost money or shared details on makiastore.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 makiastore.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
Dynadot Inc. takes abuse reports at abuse@dynadot.com (+1.6502620100). 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
The store describes itself as the official Makia Clothing shop from Helsinki, but the domain is 120 days old and does not belong to the brand. Its only contact address is support@makiaclothing.com, a mailbox on the real brand's domain, and its pages are built on the storefront of a known brand-clone network. The captured pages name no company, phone number, postal address or business ID, so a buyer has no way to confirm who is selling. No captured evidence shows an actual failed delivery or card misuse on this site, but the impersonation and missing operator are serious enough to score it High Risk.
Impersonation of a real apparel brand
The store copies the Makia Clothing name and identity, and its contact mailbox sits on makiaclothing.com rather than the store's own domain. Independent research identifies it as one of several copied Makia stores that appeared in the same period.
Independent research also notes the copy shares its kit and hosting with thousands of other copied stores, and that its five-star reviews are signed by names that recur across that network.
No operator is disclosed
The captured pages show no contact email on the site's own domain, no phone number, no postal address, and no business ID. The domain is 120 days old while the site claims Helsinki heritage from 2001.
Technical checks are mixed and do not settle the question
The browser threat feed returned no warning, the TLS certificate is valid, and the hosting IP has no recorded abuse reports. A stale saved antivirus scan shows one malicious and two suspicious verdicts. These technical results do not show whether the merchant is genuine.

First appeared in WHOIS records — 4 months old when this review was saved.
- Nov 11, 2026Saved security review — Rated High Risk
The completed checks from this saved scan are detailed above.
makiastore.shop 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.
Domain & Encryption
At the scan on Nov 11, 2026: 33% of the registration period had passed
Cloudflare DNS is used by legitimate and scam sites alike, so it does not identify who runs the site.
Report this domain to its registrar: send the address and what happened to this contact.

Final verdict
makiastore.shop is a copy of the Makia Clothing store run by an unidentified operator, with no verifiable seller behind it
The store describes itself as the official Makia Clothing shop from Helsinki, but the domain is 120 days old and does not belong to the brand. Its only contact address is support@makiaclothing.com, a mailbox on the real brand's domain, and its pages are built on the storefront of a known brand-clone network. The captured pages name no company, phone number, postal address or business ID, so a buyer has no way to confirm who is selling. No captured evidence shows an actual failed delivery or card misuse on this site, but the impersonation and missing operator are serious enough to score it High Risk.
