Is shopthedrinkshop.shop a scam?

This is a scam.

Fake The Drink Shop store selling spirits including rum, gin, and whisky

This site copies The Drink Shop's online store of spirits including rum, gin, and whisky, but it's part of a known scam network, and the real The Drink Shop store is at thedrinkshop.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 shopthedrinkshop.shop is at thedrinkshop.com, which belongs to The Drink Shop. The Drink Shop 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 shopthedrinkshop.shop is already on HaGeZi's public threat list.

  • Every price cut by 65%

    Ardbeg Corryvreckan is $37.28 instead of $106.52, Captain Morgan Original Dark Rum is $8.95 instead of $25.57, and Sheep Dip is $15.11 instead of $43.16.

  • Reviews written by the kit, not by customers

    Five-star quotes such as 'The artisanal coffee beans arrived incredibly fresh, Best morning brew I have had in a long time' are signed James L., Elena R. and Marcus T., signatures that appear on thousands of other copied stores.

  • More copies of the same store

    Two more copies of The Drink Shop Shop's store were online in mid-September 2026: getthedrinkshop.shop and thedrinkshopstore.shop.

  • Template text left in place

    The page still carries the stock claim of 10,000+ happy customers in 50+ countries and the sample address john@example.com, both left over from the store template.
