White Market: high-end furniture and apparel storefront with documented non-delivery complaints and no verifiable contact structure.
whitemarket.info presents itself as "White Market — the hidden gem of cyberspace" and sells physical goods ranging from a $4,800 Terrazzo Modular Leather Sofa to $15 necklaces, all through on-site Shop and Cart controls. An independent review platform customer states he paid $165.20 for shoes, waited three months, and learned from the tracking that the order had been cancelled, and an independent site-rating service summarises the domain as possibly a scam. The store's only published contact email sits on an unrelated off-domain mailbox rather than the shop's own domain, and no phone number appears on the captured page. These are concrete operator-and-customer signals, so the score sits in the High Risk band rather than being carried by the clean technical checks.

What pulled the score down
- Moderate2 independent sources carry complaints or warnings about this site, including: "AVOID WHITE MARKET. SCAM. Avoid this terrible company at all costs. I bought a pair of shoes from them and it cost me $165.20.. I’ve been waiting 3 months for…"
- Moderate2 independent sources carry complaints or warnings about this site, including: "In summary, we scanned whitemarket.info for several indicators and we think the website may be a scam. Exercise extreme caution when using this"
- Moderate1 antivirus result marked the URL as suspicious. This comes from a saved antivirus observation rather than a new submission, so treat the detection as real but confirm the timing.
- MinorThe store's published contact email sits on a domain other than whitemarket.info, with no phone number visible on the captured page.
What pushed the score up
- SupportsPostal address visible on the page.
- SupportsThe browser threat feed returned no threat warning and the saved TLS check found a valid encrypted connection.
- SupportsThe registrable domain is over ten years old, which is atypical for a throwaway scam storefront.

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 whitemarket.info, 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
GoDaddy.com, LLC takes abuse reports at abuse@godaddy.com (+1.4806242505). 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
whitemarket.info presents itself as "White Market — the hidden gem of cyberspace" and sells physical goods ranging from a $4,800 Terrazzo Modular Leather Sofa to $15 necklaces, all through on-site Shop and Cart controls. An independent review platform customer states he paid $165.20 for shoes, waited three months, and learned from the tracking that the order had been cancelled, and an independent site-rating service summarises the domain as possibly a scam. The store's only published contact email sits on an unrelated off-domain mailbox rather than the shop's own domain, and no phone number appears on the captured page. These are concrete operator-and-customer signals, so the score sits in the High Risk band rather than being carried by the clean technical checks.
A real-looking storefront that takes orders but leaves the buyer exposed
The captured page is a functioning product catalogue: a Cart control sits alongside dozens of "Shop" buttons for items including a Giant Cactus Coat Rack from $1,200, a Terrazzo Modular Leather Sofa at regular price $4,800, a Foam Grass Sofa marked down from $6,000 to $4,500, and lower-cost apparel and jewellery such as a Cigarette Charm Necklace at $35 and a Silver Smiley Necklace at $15. Every one of those controls points back to the same domain, so the entire path from browsing to checkout stays inside whitemarket.info rather than handing the visitor to a third-party processor page.
That same flow is what an independent review platform's reviewer describes going wrong. He names the shop as a scam, says he bought a pair of shoes for $165.20, waited three months, and found on checking the shipping that the item had been cancelled. A second independent source, an independent site-rating service, states that it scanned whitemarket.info and concludes the website may be a scam and that extreme caution is warranted. Together these describe the actual outcome a visitor can expect after paying: a completed order that does not arrive and no evident route to getting the money back.
The store identity and the contact route do not line up
The shop describes fashion roots in Toronto with operations in Paris, LA, NY and Beijing, and prints a Chicago, IL postal address on the page. The single email address it publishes reads HELLO@WIFI.GALLERY, an unrelated domain, not a mailbox at whitemarket.info. The contact page also shows no phone number on the captured version. None of that on its own proves fraud, but for a store charging thousands of dollars per sofa it removes the ordinary channels a buyer would use to chase an order or a refund.
The technical footprint is mixed rather than damning. The browser threat feed returns no threat warning and the saved TLS check found a valid encrypted connection, so the site itself does not silently drop malware or hijack the browser. But one antivirus result does mark the URL as suspicious, and the older registration age of the domain is the main thing counting in the shop's favour — it is not a freshly minted throwaway domain. Those two facts reduce the chance of a purely technical attack; they do not answer the reported failures to deliver goods that customers paid for.
Why the score is 30
2 independent sources carry complaints or warnings about this site, including: "AVOID WHITE MARKET. SCAM. Avoid this terrible company at all costs. I bought a pair of shoes from them and it cost me $165.20.. I’ve been waiting 3 months for…". Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

Evidence behind this classification
- 012 independent sources carry complaints or warnings about this site, including: "AVOID WHITE MARKET. SCAM. Avoid this terrible company at all costs. I bought a pair of shoes from them and it cost me $165.20.. I’ve been waiting 3 months for…"

If this is a scam — what it means for you
What happens when you press Shop and pay
A visitor who selects an item such as the Terrazzo Modular Leather Sofa at $4,800, or the smaller items listed at $15 to $50, and presses Shop proceeds through whitemarket.info's own on-site order path to a checkout that takes payment. The listing, the Cart control and the item pages all sit on the same host, so the buyer never leaves the shop to hand over card details.
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.
According to the customer account, the money leaves but the goods do not. He paid $165.20 for shoes, waited three months, and found from the tracking information that his order had been cancelled. There is no evidence in the captured material of a working refund route: the only published contact mailbox sits on a different domain, and no phone number is shown on the page.
An independent scan of the same domain reaches a matching conclusion, stating that whitemarket.info may be a scam and advising extreme caution. Read together, these give a prospective buyer the choice between walking away and risking an order that neither arrives nor is easily refunded.
Do not place an order on whitemarket.info. The on-site checkout will take your payment, but a documented customer report describes a cancelled order and three months without delivery, and the shop's only visible contact route uses a mailbox on an unrelated domain with no phone number. If you have already paid, contact your card issuer or payment provider promptly to dispute the charge and preserve your evidence, since a refund through the shop itself is not supported by anything shown here.
