Waves And Trunks: an old swimwear storefront with a pattern of non-delivery, wrong items and refund friction reported by customers
Waves And Trunks is an online swimwear shop that has been registered for over seven years, which is longer than a throwaway scam domain usually lasts. However, three separate customer reports describe serious order problems: a package arriving with the wrong size and live ants inside, a partial shipment arriving eight weeks late with a refused cancellation, and a sharp increase in spam calls and emails after ordering. The site itself lists no phone number and no postal address, so there is no practical way to escalate a problem, and a pop-up offers a 'mystery discount' in exchange for an email address. The technical side is mostly clean — no Safe Browsing warning, valid encryption — but one antivirus engine has flagged the URL as suspicious. Because the harm described is commercial and customer-service related rather than malware or credential theft, the score sits in the High Risk band.

What pushed the score up
- SupportsThe registrable domain is 2712 days old, which is older than a typical disposable scam domain.

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 wavesandtrunks.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
Cloudflare, Inc. takes abuse reports at registrar-abuse@cloudflare.com (+1.6503198930). 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
Waves And Trunks is an online swimwear shop that has been registered for over seven years, which is longer than a throwaway scam domain usually lasts. However, three separate customer reports describe serious order problems: a package arriving with the wrong size and live ants inside, a partial shipment arriving eight weeks late with a refused cancellation, and a sharp increase in spam calls and emails after ordering. The site itself lists no phone number and no postal address, so there is no practical way to escalate a problem, and a pop-up offers a 'mystery discount' in exchange for an email address. The technical side is mostly clean — no Safe Browsing warning, valid encryption — but one antivirus engine has flagged the URL as suspicious. Because the harm described is commercial and customer-service related rather than malware or credential theft, the score sits in the High Risk band.
What customers say happened after they ordered
Three independent customer reports describe a consistent pattern of problems. One buyer says the wrong size was sent and the inside of the package was crawling with ants, and that the customer service phone line only gave a busy signal while the service email went unanswered. Another says the swimwear was made of cheap, thin material with no liners in the men's trunks, that a cancellation request two weeks after ordering was refused, and that only a partial shipment arrived eight weeks after the order. A third report says that once an order is placed, spam calls and emails explode.
These are not vague complaints about slow shipping. They describe non-delivery or partial delivery, products that do not match what was ordered, a refusal to cancel before dispatch, and a contact channel that does not respond. Together they point to a storefront where the customer has very little recourse once payment has been made.
The site's own pages and the operator behind them
The captured page lists no phone number and no operator postal address, so a dissatisfied customer has no physical or voice channel to escalate to. The only contact detail found is an email address on the site's own domain, info@wavesandtrunks.com, which is a small positive sign but does not by itself establish that anyone answers it — and one of the customer reports specifically says the service email does not respond.
The storefront also runs a pop-up that reads 'CONGRATULATIONS! YOU'VE UNLOCKED A MYSTERY DISCOUNT', which is a marketing device to capture an email address rather than a genuine prize. The domain itself is 2712 days old, which is older than the typical disposable scam domain and is the main reason this is not scored as Dangerous. Age alone, however, does not fix a broken fulfilment and refund process.
Technical checks versus operator behaviour
On the technical side, the browser threat feed returned no threat warning and the saved TLS check found a valid encrypted connection, so there is no evidence of a drive-by download, phishing page or broken certificate. One antivirus result, from Gridinsoft, marked the URL as suspicious; that detection comes from a saved observation rather than a fresh submission, so it should be treated as a real but stale signal rather than a current malware verdict.
The risk here is not that the site will infect a visitor's device. It is that a visitor pays for goods that arrive late, wrong, damaged or not at all, and then finds no phone number, no postal address and an unresponsive email when trying to get money back. That is an operator and customer-protection problem, and it is what drives the score into the High Risk band despite the clean technical checks.
Why the score is 38
2 independent sources carry complaints or warnings about this site, including: "Sent wrong size and inside of package crawling with ants. Phone line to customer service just a busy signal and customer svc email does not respond.". Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.
