These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

Confidence
The domain was registered approximately 170 days ago and presents as a professional organic food shop. However, our research found no official business registration or legal entity linked to the site in Canada or elsewhere. The page lists two phone numbers associated with a legitimate restaurant equipment business in Quebec, but this specific grocery site has no independent footprint. There are no customer reviews, social media presence, or physical address provided, which are standard for a genuine food retailer. The lack of a clear privacy policy and the use of a generic template further increase the risk profile.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The website uses a standard e-commerce template for an organic grocery store, featuring products like feta cheese and fresh produce. It claims to offer '100% secure delivery' but provides no specific details on shipping zones or logistics.

Infrastructure

The site is hosted on a common provider with a valid SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt. While the hosting IP has a clean reputation, the site lacks a global traffic index, suggesting very few visitors since its launch.

Domain History

The domain vendofood.com was registered in early 2026 and is currently about six months old. It is registered through a provider in Lithuania with privacy protection enabled, which is common but provides no transparency for a business claiming to be a local food supplier.

Web Reputation

Our intelligence stack shows no history of malicious activity or phishing detections. However, the site is completely absent from major review platforms and consumer forums, which is a significant red flag for a retail business that has been online for half a year.
Risk Factors
5
  • Domain is relatively new (170 days) with no established commercial history.
  • No verifiable business registration or LLC records found in official databases.
  • No physical office or warehouse address is listed on the contact page.
  • Zero independent customer reviews or mentions on social media platforms.
  • The site uses a generic e-commerce template with incomplete policy pages.
Positive Signals
3
  • Our antivirus network shows 0 detections across 92 security engines.
  • The hosting IP address has no history of abuse reports.
  • The site uses a valid SSL certificate for encrypted connections.
AI Recommendation
Avoid making large purchases until the business can be verified. If you choose to order, use a protected payment method like a credit card or PayPal to ensure you can dispute the charge if the goods do not arrive.

Key findings
7 headline facts from open-web research
  • Domain is approximately 170 days old (registered around January 2026).
  • Website at vendofood.com presents as an online grocery/organic food store offering products like feta cheese, with claims of "100% Secure delivery without contacting the courier", fast ordering, and everyday fresh organic products.
  • Contact details listed: phones 450 540 8161 and 438-938-2053 (Quebec, Canada area codes), emails info@vendofood.com and order@vendofood.com. No physical address provided.
  • The secondary phone 438-938-2053 is actively used by Vendo Group / Vendo POS / vendoequipment.com / vendopos.ca, a Laval, QC-based seller of restaurant, grocery, and food equipment (Instagram @posvendo, Facebook pages).
  • No reviews, mentions, complaints, or independent references to vendofood.com or its emails found on Reddit, Trustpilot, ScamAdviser, or general web searches.
  • No business registration, About Us details, privacy policy content, or legal company information located on the site or externally.
  • No scam reports or customer complaints identified; however, the new domain, lack of verifiable business presence, and generic e-commerce template raise typical risk signals for online food/grocery orders.
Research summary
Narrative write-up from our AI analyst, grounded on the facts above
Our research into vendofood.com found no official business registration in Canada, despite the site using Quebec-based phone numbers. These phone numbers appear to be linked to a legitimate restaurant equipment company called Vendo Group, but there is no clear evidence that this grocery storefront is an authorized or active part of that business. No customer feedback or mentions were found on independent review aggregators or community forums.

Fake-shop warning signs

Signals common to non-delivery scam shops were detected on this site.

  • Treat vendofood.com as unverified

    Do not enter credentials or send money until you have independently verified the business.

  • If you already paid by card or PayPal — start a chargeback

    Contact your bank or card issuer and dispute the charge as "goods not received" or "merchant fraud." PayPal users can open a case in the Resolution Centre. Act within 120 days for card chargebacks in most jurisdictions.

  • Save every piece of evidence

    Screenshots of the checkout, order confirmation emails, any chat transcripts, and the product listing page. Chargeback and fraud reports go faster when you have receipts.

  • Report the shop

    Report to the FTC (reportfraud.ftc.gov), Action Fraud UK, or your local consumer-protection body. Post the URL on the MalwareTips scam forum so other buyers can find it.

Safety FAQ

Common questions about this site, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.

  • Our automated security review marked vendofood.com as suspicious. Several warning signs were detected; it may still turn out legitimate, but you should verify it through independent channels before trusting it with money or credentials.
  • vendofood.com currently scores 55/100 on our trust scale. We found enough warning signals to recommend caution. Verify the site through independent channels before entering credentials or money.
  • Yes. vendofood.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · R12, expiring in 28 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • vendofood.com is 5 months old, registered on 1/8/2026 through HOSTINGER operations, UAB. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
  • No. All 92 antivirus engines in our malware network report vendofood.com as clean.
  • No. vendofood.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • vendofood.com resolves to an IP operated by Hostinger Operations UAB in US (usage type: Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.
  • This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 28, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around vendofood.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.

Final Verdict

Final Verdict·vendofood.com
SUSPICIOUS

This is a recently created online grocery store that lacks verifiable business registration and physical contact details. While it shares a phone number with a legitimate equipment supplier in Quebec, the storefront itself has no established reputation. Exercise caution before providing payment information.

Avoid making large purchases until the business can be verified. If you choose to order, use a protected payment method like a credit card or PayPal to ensure you can dispute the charge if the goods do not arrive.
