What happened

On 4 November 2026 MalwareTips published a warning about shein-lookbook-link.lovable.app, a page offering a $750 SHEIN gift card to anyone who signs up as a SHEIN product reviewer. The page is titled Become a SHEIN Product Reviewer and is hosted on a free Lovable subdomain rather than on SHEIN's own site. MalwareTips describes it as a lead-generation scam: the Claim button does not go to SHEIN but opens an affiliate network tracking link on linkthem.net.

How the scam works

According to MalwareTips, the page uses the SHEIN name and a large reward to collect personal data and push visitors into paid offers. After the initial claim, later pages ask for the visitor's name, phone number, home address and date of birth, and a survey about income and shopping habits often follows. The site then says the card is unlocked by working through sponsored deals, such as free trials, streaming plans, insurance quotes, credit applications or mobile games played to a set level.

MalwareTips warns that this is where the cost appears. A free trial that is not cancelled can turn into a full-price subscription, and a credit application can leave a hard inquiry on the visitor's credit file, while the promised gift card typically never arrives. The operators earn affiliate commissions from the trials and sign-ups regardless of whether anyone receives a reward. The telltale signs it lists are an address bar showing a domain that is not the retailer's, a claim button that opens an affiliate tracking link, forms collecting date of birth alongside contact details, and the fact that a genuine retailer gift-card giveaway never requires paid trials or credit applications. MalwareTips advises people to leave the page, avoid entering any details, and check offers on the retailer's official site. These are MalwareTips' findings and have not been independently verified by scammers.com.
