Confidence
The domain hosts a full-featured storefront selling sheds, fences, gates, and garden products with standard checkout and account features. The operating company, 株式会社誠和, is registered in Japan since 1986 with 150 employees and 32 billion yen in reported sales. Multiple scam reports in the evidence package are actually warnings issued by the company itself about fake sites impersonating them. The site appears on Rakuten and Yahoo Shopping with thousands of customer reviews and maintains active social channels. No antivirus engines flagged the page and the hosting IP shows zero abuse reports. The combination of long company history, official scam warnings, and established marketplace presence outweighs the lack of traffic ranking.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The page displays a complete Japanese-language e-commerce catalog for exterior and garden products including sheds, fences, gates, planters, and carports. Navigation includes category menus, search, cart, and account functions. Seven phone numbers and operating hours are visible. The site loads external scripts from Google Tag Manager, jQuery, and social platforms but shows no login forms or urgency timers.

Infrastructure

The site runs on IP 8.209.245.100 with a valid DigiCert RapidSSL certificate. No antivirus engines flagged the page and the IP carries a zero abuse score. External domains loaded include wooddeck-mitsumori.com, potos-house.com, and standard CDNs. One redirect hop occurs with no cross-domain or homoglyph activity.

Domain History

WHOIS data was unavailable. The domain hosts the official エクステリア専門通販 site for キロ本店 and has been referenced in company materials since at least 2012. The parent company 株式会社誠和 was established in 1986.

Web Reputation

Two scam reports found are actually official warnings from the company about impersonating fraud sites. Positive mentions appear on Rakuten (over 2,000 reviews) and Yahoo Shopping. The company maintains active Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube channels plus a physical store location. Business registration confirms active status with 10 million yen capital and 32 billion yen annual sales.

What this means for you

What to do

Still, stay alert

No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.

  • Double-check the exact URL in your address bar

    Confirm you are actually on merigraph.co.jp and not a lookalike like m-erigraph.co.jp.com or an IDN homoglyph.

  • Use a password manager

    Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.

  • Discuss this site on the forum

    If you have first-hand experience with this site — good or bad — share it with the MalwareTips community.
