Coveragestrong3 of 4 applicable core capabilities
High-risk online shop linked to a known fake-store network
Setbysave presents itself as an online shop, but it loads a storefront platform used by a known fake-shop network. Independent warnings, blacklist detections, and a customer complaint alleging non-delivery and a refused refund reinforce the risk. A valid encrypted connection and the absence of a browser warning do not resolve these concerns.

Investigation Brief
Setbysave presents itself as an online shop, but it loads a storefront platform used by a known fake-shop network. Independent warnings, blacklist detections, and a customer complaint alleging non-delivery and a refused refund reinforce the risk. A valid encrypted connection and the absence of a browser warning do not resolve these concerns.
Strong evidence of a fake-shop operation
The store loads esashop.top, identified in the captured evidence as a storefront platform used by a known fake-shop network. This target-specific infrastructure match is the main reason for the High Risk rating.
External checks classify the site as a suspicious shop, cite three blacklist detections, and assign it an extremely low trust score. A saved security check also records an adverse result, although that observation is stale and should not be treated as current on its own.
Clean connection checks do not establish merchant trust
The saved checks found a valid encrypted connection and no Safe Browsing warning. These findings concern connection security and known threat warnings; they do not counter the storefront-network match or reported commercial harm.
The captured page provides an address on the site's own email domain, but no phone number or operator postal address was visible, leaving limited contact information if a transaction goes wrong.
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.

Final verdict
High-risk online shop linked to a known fake-store network
Setbysave presents itself as an online shop, but it loads a storefront platform used by a known fake-shop network. Independent warnings, blacklist detections, and a customer complaint alleging non-delivery and a refused refund reinforce the risk. A valid encrypted connection and the absence of a browser warning do not resolve these concerns.
