TESSI (tessizy.com) is a small-goods storefront tied to a Better Business Bureau scam report alleging misdescribed goods, a refused refund and shipping from Shanghai.
tessizy.com describes itself as "TESSI", a small shop selling handpicked everyday essentials, but the rendered homepage shows no products, prices or cart, and no company name, registration number, address, phone or email anywhere on the page. A BBB Scam Tracker entry names contact@tessizy.com as the scammer contact for a $154 order of two "smoking Halloween lanterns" that arrived as a non-smoking plastic lantern, one broken, with the seller refusing a refund and offering 30% off a future order instead. A security vendor also labels the domain a fraudulent e-commerce site with a 1.5 an independent review platform's score across 27 reviews. The technical checks are clean, but the merchant conduct evidence is what drives the score into the High Risk band.

Why 30/100
High Risk covers scores 21–44. 5 findings pulled the score down; 2 pushed it up.
What pulled the score down
- 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.
- Moderate2 independent sources carry complaints or warnings about this site, including: "They claim these are American made and ship from the U.S. They are not American made and they ship from Shanghai."
- Moderate2 independent sources carry complaints or warnings about this site, including: "Tessizy.com 是一个欺诈性电子商务网站,通过欺骗性策略收取付款并窃取个人数据。"
- MinorThe homepage body is blank below the tagline, with no product tiles, prices or cart controls visible.
- MinorThe rendered page shows no company name, registration number, address, phone or email, and its script-built content meant contact details were not reviewed.
What pushed the score up
- SupportsThe domain is 905 days old and registered behind a privacy service.
- SupportsNo Safe Browsing warning, a valid encrypted connection and a hosting IP with zero abuse reports.

Lost money or shared details on tessizy.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 tessizy.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
NameCheap, Inc. takes abuse reports at abuse@namecheap.com (+1.6613102107). 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
tessizy.com describes itself as "TESSI", a small shop selling handpicked everyday essentials, but the rendered homepage shows no products, prices or cart, and no company name, registration number, address, phone or email anywhere on the page. A BBB Scam Tracker entry names contact@tessizy.com as the scammer contact for a $154 order of two "smoking Halloween lanterns" that arrived as a non-smoking plastic lantern, one broken, with the seller refusing a refund and offering 30% off a future order instead. A security vendor also labels the domain a fraudulent e-commerce site with a 1.5 an independent review platform's score across 27 reviews. The technical checks are clean, but the merchant conduct evidence is what drives the score into the High Risk band.
A buyer report describes goods that did not match the listing and a refund that was refused
The BBB Scam Tracker entry (Scam ID 1065697, reported September 24, 2025) lists contact@tessizy.com as the scammer contact and the business as "TESSI PTE. LTD" with an unknown location. The complainant says they paid $154 for two "smoking Halloween lanterns" that were claimed to be American made and shipped from the U.S.; the goods were not American made and shipped from Shanghai instead.
The same report says the parcel contained a 23-inch plastic lantern that did not smoke, with one item broken, and that when the buyer asked for a refund the seller refused and offered 30% off a next order. The report also points to a related host, smoke-lantern.tessiflex.com, which suggests the same operation runs more than one storefront.
A security vendor's listing describes tessizy.com as a fraudulent e-commerce site that takes payment through deceptive tactics, and cites an independent review platform's score of 1.5 from 27 reviews as evidence of low customer trust. That is a vendor assessment and a review-score record, not a second independent complaint, so it corroborates the pattern rather than adding a separate buyer account.
The storefront itself discloses no operator and shows no catalogue
The rendered page carries only the wordmark "TESSI" and the line "A small shop with big care. We handpick a few everyday essentials we truly stand behind—useful for everyone, priced fairly." Below that tagline the central area is blank white, with no product tiles, images, prices or cart controls visible.
The footer offers an "Order" column with Track My Order and Shipping Policy, a "Resources" column with About Us and FAQs, and a "How can we help you?" column with a red Contact Us button. No company name, registration number, physical address, phone number or email address appears anywhere in the rendered page, and the page builds its content with scripts, so its own contact details were not visible to our page reader and were not reviewed.
The domain is 905 days old and registered through a privacy service, so the registrant is not publicly named. Age and privacy protection are not scam evidence on their own, but they mean there is no independent ownership record to weigh against the buyer report.
Clean technical checks do not offset the merchant conduct evidence
The browser threat feed returned no threat warning, the saved TLS check found a valid encrypted connection, and the hosting IP carries an abuse confidence score of 0/100 across 0 saved reports. Nothing on the captured page attempted a download, a credential prompt or a wallet connection.
A saved antivirus aggregate does record one adverse engine result, from Netcraft and Gridinsoft, but it is a stale observation rather than a fresh scan, so it is treated as a real but dated signal. The decisive issue here is not malware: it is a storefront that hides who runs it while an independent complaint describes goods that did not match the listing and a refund that was refused.
Why the score is 30
2 independent sources carry complaints or warnings about this site, including: "They claim these are American made and ship from the U.S. They are not American made and they ship from Shanghai.".
