Is gethoytsgiftshop.shop a scam?

This is a scam.

Fake HOYTS Gift store selling movie-themed gifts

This site copies HOYTS Gift's online store of movie-themed gifts, but it's part of a known scam network and has nothing to do with HOYTS Gift. Stores like this are unlikely to deliver the real product, and may use card details typed at checkout for nefarious purposes.

Reasons for concern

  • Copies a real company's store under another address

    The contact email on gethoytsgiftshop.shop is at hoytsgiftshop.com, which belongs to HOYTS Gift. HOYTS Gift does not run this copy.

  • Part of a network of thousands of copied stores

    Same kit and hosting as thousands of other copied stores, and gethoytsgiftshop.shop is already on HaGeZi's public threat list.

  • Every price cut by 65%

    HOYTS E-Gift Card is $7.50 instead of $21.42, HOYTS LUX Gift Card is $12.49 instead of $35.69, and Family Pass E-Voucher is $15.49 instead of $44.26.

  • Reviews written by the kit, not by customers

    Five-star quotes such as 'The personalized movie gift cards arrived instantly, Perfect for a last-minute birthday surprise for my brother' are signed David L. and Sarah M., signatures that appear on thousands of other copied stores.

  • More copies of the same store

    Another copy of HOYTS Gift's store was online in mid-September 2026: hoytsboutique.shop.

  • Template text left in place

    The page still carries the sample address john@example.com, left over from the store template.
