Score breakdown

Intelligence
The site impersonates ALDI and promotes impossible Ryobi tool deals. Nine of 92 antivirus engines flagged it, including BitDefender, Kaspersky, Fortinet, and G-Data, all citing phishing. Scam reports from four independent sources describe SMS and Google-ad lures that lead to this domain and request bank details. The domain was registered June 17 2026, less than a month before the complaints appeared. No business registration exists and the .shop TLD is heavily used by scam operators. These signals together confirm the site exists only to harvest payment information.

- Do not interact with www.ihtpncgl.shop
Do not enter credentials, deposit money, download files, or install browser extensions from this site.

- OpenReport the impersonation to the brand
