XOD Brakes shop shows several fake-shop warning signs, though it names a real-looking operator
xodbrakes.com is an online store selling aftermarket XOD brake parts. Its domain is only 209 days old, and it combines a generic service@ contact with restrictive refund terms. A security vendor lists it as a suspicious shop. It also discloses a company name, phone number and postal address, so the evidence points to elevated risk rather than a confirmed scam.

Where this site sits
- Dangerous1–20
- High Risk21–44
- Moderate Risk45–69
- Low Risk70–84
- Safe85–100
The score combines saved evidence strength and analysis quality. Coverage is reported separately.
Why 40/100
High Risk covers scores 21–44. 5 findings pulled the score down; 3 pushed it up.
Score ceiling 40: Safety Score limited to 40 (High Risk): the site's own pages match the fingerprints of a known fake-shop operation. (Our analysis had scored it 42.)
What pulled the score down
- StrongSeveral fake-shop tells appear together on a 209-day-old domain: a generic or free-mail contact, refund-trap terms.
- ModerateThe store gives a generic service@ mailbox as its contact, a pattern repeated across fake-shop networks.
- ModerateThe store's own terms limit refunds the way fake shops do (a token percentage refund, buyer-paid return shipping, or "keep the item").
- ModerateOne public warning on a scam-warning or security site: "Suspicious Shop This site is classified as Suspicious Shop based on multiple risk signals, including 1 blacklist detections."
- Moderate2 antivirus results 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.
What pushed the score up
- SupportsPhone number and postal address are shown on the site.
- SupportsThe browser threat feed returned no threat warning
- SupportsThe saved TLS check found a valid encrypted connection
No points per finding are stored for this report: our analysis weighed all findings together to set the score. Each finding shows its saved severity instead (Decisive, Strong, Moderate or Minor). Community reviews never change the Safety Score.
Lost money or shared details on xodbrakes.com? 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 xodbrakes.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
Alibaba Cloud Computing Ltd. d/b/a HiChina (www.net.cn) takes abuse reports at domainabuse@service.aliyun.com (+86.95187). 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
xodbrakes.com is an online store selling aftermarket XOD brake parts. Its domain is only 209 days old, and it combines a generic service@ contact with restrictive refund terms. A security vendor lists it as a suspicious shop. It also discloses a company name, phone number and postal address, so the evidence points to elevated risk rather than a confirmed scam.
Operator and customer risk
The terms name Shenzhen Honglan E-commerce Co., Ltd. as operator and say the site is an authorized retailer, not the official XOD factory site. This claim is the site's own and is unverified.
Refunds require the item to be unused, uninstalled and unmodified, and the request to be made promptly, preferably within 7 days of delivery. Combined with the generic service@ mailbox and a young domain, this raises the risk for buyers.
Technical checks and reputation
The browser threat feed shows no warning and the TLS connection is valid. Two antivirus engines flagged the site as suspicious, and a research listing classifies it as a suspicious shop. Neither shows malware.
The site also links to an affiliate program hosted on goaffpro.com, which is a commercial link but not a harmful one on its own.
Why the score is 40
Safety Score limited to 40 (High Risk): the site's own pages match the fingerprints of a known fake-shop operation. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.
