Is japanstyle.shop a scam?

This is a scam.

Fake Cute Things from Japan store selling Japanese craft and planner supplies

This site copies Cute Things from Japan's online store of Japanese craft and planner supplies, but it belongs to a known scam network, and Cute Things from Japan's real store is at cutethingsfromjapan.com. 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 japanstyle.shop is at cutethingsfromjapan.com, which belongs to Cute Things from Japan. Cute Things from Japan 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 japanstyle.shop is already on HaGeZi's public threat list.

  • Every price cut by 70%

    Chamil Garden Rubber Stamp - Book (C10) is $2.25 instead of $7.50, Soramame Stamp Ink - Modern is $2.40 instead of $8.00, and Colorful Ribbon Stickers is $0.87 instead of $2.90.

  • Reviews written by the kit, not by customers

    Five-star quotes such as 'The washi tapes are adorable and high quality, Shipping was fast and everything was packaged beautifully' are signed Marcus L., a signature that appears on thousands of other copied stores.

  • Template text left in place

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

  • Priced in US dollars for a shop that names another country

    The page title presents japanstyle.shop as a shop for Japan, yet every price on it is in US dollars, the default of the copying kit.
