High risk: numerous security engines flag this rental website
The site presents itself as “Bikes and Blades,” offering ski, snowboard and clothing rentals in Vancouver, and provides a street address, phone number and booking prompt. However, 13 of 93 security engines classified the domain as malicious and three more marked it suspicious, so its current technical safety cannot be trusted despite its established domain and recognizable local-business presentation.

Lost money or shared details on www.ski-snowboardvancouver.ca? 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 www.ski-snowboardvancouver.ca, 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
Go Daddy Domains Canada, Inc registered this domain. ICANN's lookup shows the registrar's abuse contact.
- 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
The site presents itself as “Bikes and Blades,” offering ski, snowboard and clothing rentals in Vancouver, and provides a street address, phone number and booking prompt. However, 13 of 93 security engines classified the domain as malicious and three more marked it suspicious, so its current technical safety cannot be trusted despite its established domain and recognizable local-business presentation.
Strong technical warnings outweigh the clean checks
The strongest finding is broad adverse detection: 11 independent antivirus families returned an adverse result, while the aggregate scan recorded 13 malicious and three suspicious classifications across 93 engines.
A valid encrypted connection and the absence of a Safe Browsing warning are limited counter-signals. They do not resolve the substantially broader set of malicious or suspicious detections.
The page resembles a local rental business, but that does not clear the domain
The captured page advertises ski, snowboard and clothing rentals, displays the name “Bikes and Blades,” lists 718 Denman St in Vancouver and shows a phone number. The registrable domain is also 1,110 days old.
The page includes a “Book now!” prompt and a cross-site reference to mybikesandblades.com through the displayed business name. No direct contact email was found on the captured page. These facts do not establish a specific fraud mechanism, but visitors should not proceed while the security detections remain unresolved.
Why the score is 32
11 independent antivirus families reported an adverse result. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.
