What happened
MalwareTips published an investigation on 8 November 2026 calling aimayapet.com a high-risk store tied to a scam network that advertises pet supplies. MalwareTips found that the domain was registered on October 30, 2026, only 8 days before the review, that its URL scanner rates it High Risk (30/100), and that it runs on staticassethub.com, a storefront platform shared by a network of near-identical stores MalwareTips tracks. MalwareTips advises readers not to buy from aimayapet.com.
How the scam works
According to MalwareTips, the shop advertises products at steep discounts in Facebook, Instagram and TikTok ads. Orders ship directly from suppliers in China and can take several weeks, and what arrives is very low quality and unlike the ads. The store shows no registered business name, tax number or address and offers only email support, and refunds require shipping items back to China or accepting a partial refund.
MalwareTips says the shop belongs to a network of near-identical stores that share templates, product photos and return policies and reopen under new names when complaints build up. A very new domain, a shared storefront platform, or VirusTotal flags are useful warning signs. Social ads with attractive photos taken from elsewhere create urgency that stops buyers checking who they are paying. The absence of a company address or tax number makes chargebacks and consumer complaints harder to pursue, and email-only support lets operators stall until return windows expire.
MalwareTips advises not buying. Anyone who paid should contact their bank, card issuer or PayPal promptly, keep screenshots of the ad and order, and report the ad to the social media platform that showed it. Treat any unfamiliar store pushing deep discounts on Instagram or TikTok as high risk until you can verify a real business registration and independent reviews that are not hosted on the shop itself.
