High risk: expired former shop has refund complaints and security detections
Slatenew.com currently displays an expiration notice rather than an active storefront. Historical evidence is nevertheless concerning: a customer describes receiving a wrongly sized hoodie and encountering costly obstacles while seeking a full refund, a security assessment classifies the site as a suspicious shop with a 2.3/5 rating from seven reviews, and four antivirus families recorded adverse results. These findings support a High Risk score despite the absence of a current Safe Browsing warning.

Investigation Brief
Slatenew.com currently displays an expiration notice rather than an active storefront. Historical evidence is nevertheless concerning: a customer describes receiving a wrongly sized hoodie and encountering costly obstacles while seeking a full refund, a security assessment classifies the site as a suspicious shop with a 2.3/5 rating from seven reviews, and four antivirus families recorded adverse results. These findings support a High Risk score despite the absence of a current Safe Browsing warning.
Documented shopping and refund concerns
One customer says a hoodie labelled XL appeared to be child-sized. The customer reports being offered $17 instead of a full refund and having to pay return shipping to California after already paying $48 for the order.
A separate security assessment classifies the domain as a suspicious shop and cites a low 2.3/5 user rating based on seven reviews.
The domain is expired, but technical warnings remain relevant
The current page says the domain has expired, so visitors are not presently seeing the former shop in the captured view. The site's contact details were not reviewed, and the saved TLS check did not validate the connection.
Four independent antivirus families recorded adverse results, although the saved observation may be stale. The browser threat feed returned no current threat warning, but that clean check does not negate the other security and customer-risk evidence.
Why the score is 30
4 independent antivirus families 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. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

If this is a scam — what it means for you
A reported purchase led to a disputed refund process
A customer reports ordering an XL hoodie and receiving an item that appeared much smaller despite its XL label, prompting a return request.
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 customer says the seller first offered $17 rather than a full refund and required another shipping payment to return the item to California.
Do not shop through this domain or enter payment information if a storefront reappears. If you previously ordered from it and have an unresolved charge, preserve the order and return records and contact your payment provider about available dispute options.

Independent findings for slatenew.com, including public complaints, named review sources, registration records, and look-alike-domain evidence. A missing result is shown as unverified, never converted into a clean bill of health.

"Ordered a hoodie, arrived after I paid $48 so shipping wasn’t free. I ordered XL, it arrived and was probably a child’s XL hoodie, although the tag said XL. Started a return, they offered me $17. Wanted a full refund. Only way to get a refund was by paying for shipping a second time to California. Did that and they only refunded me $34."

Domain & infrastructure
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.

Final verdict
High risk: expired former shop has refund complaints and security detections
Slatenew.com currently displays an expiration notice rather than an active storefront. Historical evidence is nevertheless concerning: a customer describes receiving a wrongly sized hoodie and encountering costly obstacles while seeking a full refund, a security assessment classifies the site as a suspicious shop with a 2.3/5 rating from seven reviews, and four antivirus families recorded adverse results. These findings support a High Risk score despite the absence of a current Safe Browsing warning.
