merrellive.com is a brand-clone Merrell shop built on a known fake-store network, flagged by security vendors and lacking verifiable operator details.
The site presents itself as an official Merrell online shop, complete with the MERRELL logo and category navigation for women's, men's and kids' shoes, but it is not the brand's real site. Its own pages carry the markup of a known brand-clone shop network, and independent security services have flagged the domain as malicious or a scam. The domain is only about seven months old, and the captured page shows no phone number or operator postal address. This combination of brand impersonation, network-level fake-shop construction and adverse vendor listings places it in the High Risk band.

Lost money or shared details on merrellive.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 merrellive.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
Bangning Digital Technology Co.,Ltd takes abuse reports at abuse@com.top (+86.02586883421). 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 site presents itself as an official Merrell online shop, complete with the MERRELL logo and category navigation for women's, men's and kids' shoes, but it is not the brand's real site. Its own pages carry the markup of a known brand-clone shop network, and independent security services have flagged the domain as malicious or a scam. The domain is only about seven months old, and the captured page shows no phone number or operator postal address. This combination of brand impersonation, network-level fake-shop construction and adverse vendor listings places it in the High Risk band.
A Merrell look-alike built on a known clone-shop network
The header displays the MERRELL logo and navigation for SHOP BY CATEGORY, WOMEN'S SHOES, MEN'S SHOES and KID'S SHOES, mimicking the official brand's storefront. The real Merrell site is merrell.com, so a visitor arriving here is looking at an imitation rather than the brand's own shop.
More decisively, the site's own pages carry the markup of a known brand-clone shop network, including its generator tag and per-site media layout. That is a structural fingerprint of a fake-store operation rather than a one-off independent retailer, and it is the strongest single fact in this report.
The About Us page is present, but the captured page shows no phone number and no operator postal address, so there is no verifiable way to identify or contact the business behind the storefront.
Vendor flags, a young domain and the gap between clean checks and real safety
Two independent antivirus families reported an adverse result for this domain, and independent research classifies it as a scam website based on multiple risk signals including a blacklist detection and a very young domain. These are adverse external findings, not just missing details.
The registrable domain is only 202 days old, which is consistent with the short-lived storefronts typical of clone-shop networks. A young domain alone is not proof of fraud, but here it aligns with the network markup and the vendor flags.
On the technical side, the browser threat feed returned no threat warning and the saved TLS check found a valid encrypted connection. Those are clean connection-level results, but they only mean no detections were recorded at scan time; they do not establish that the operator is legitimate or that orders will be fulfilled.
Why the score is 28
The site's own pages carry the markup of a known brand-clone shop network (its generator tag and per-site media layout). Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

If this is a scam — what it means for you
What happens when a visitor tries to buy
A visitor who believes this is the official Merrell shop can click Add to cart and proceed to Checkout, entering payment and shipping details on the same domain. Because the storefront is built on a known brand-clone network and the operator cannot be verified from the page, that payment goes to an unidentified party with no confirmed delivery path.
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.
The site also collects email addresses through a footer subscribe form, so even visitors who do not complete a purchase hand over contact data to the same unverified operator.
Do not enter payment or personal details on merrellive.com. If you want Merrell products, buy from the brand's official site or a known authorized retailer. If you have already ordered, contact your card issuer or payment provider promptly and treat any follow-up emails from this domain with suspicion.
Web research findings

The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.

Domain & Encryption
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.
Certificate issued for merrellive.com.
A shared Cloudflare address answers for many sites, so it is not the site's own server and says nothing about who runs it.

08 · Final Verdict
Final verdict
merrellive.com is a brand-clone Merrell shop built on a known fake-store network, flagged by security vendors and lacking verifiable operator details.
The site presents itself as an official Merrell online shop, complete with the MERRELL logo and category navigation for women's, men's and kids' shoes, but it is not the brand's real site. Its own pages carry the markup of a known brand-clone shop network, and independent security services have flagged the domain as malicious or a scam. The domain is only about seven months old, and the captured page shows no phone number or operator postal address. This combination of brand impersonation, network-level fake-shop construction and adverse vendor listings places it in the High Risk band.
