What happened
MalwareTips published an investigation on 6 November 2026 of dripmilan.net, advising readers not to buy there expecting verified genuine branded sneakers. The storefront displays sneaker and designer names with sale prices and describes its footwear as UA, which its About page and FAQ expand as Authentic Unauthorized. The brands named in the catalogue, including Louis Vuitton and Nike, are not involved.
How the scam works
The store says it has supplied UA footwear since 2018 and explains that its shoes cannot be sold directly by manufacturers because they come from excess production, barely visible stitching imperfections or use at fashion fairs and events. MalwareTips points out that these are different situations, that the store does not identify the source of a particular pair, and that the word authentic inside the phrase is not independent authentication. One listing, a Trainer White and Brown Damier, is advertised at 242.25 euros, reduced from 285 euros.
Louis Vuitton's own FAQ says it never discounts its products, that items advertised as discounted on the web are fake, and that its stores, official website and 24S are its exclusive distribution channels. The store promises to check goods up to four times and to send photos or video through WhatsApp before shipment; MalwareTips notes inspection photos can show condition but cannot establish brand authorisation.
MalwareTips also found that some homepage links point to dripmilan.shop, the return policy uses supporto@dripmilan.store, and the Trustpilot account for dripmilan.com explicitly disavows the .net seller, so reviews of the .com business should not be transferred to it. The return policy promises free returns within 14 days subject to conditions, and a safe-payment badge on the site does not authenticate the shoes or guarantee a refund. No pair was bought for the article.
