Is waxpoeticshq.shop a scam?

This is a scam.

Fake Wax Poetics store selling music memorabilia

This site copies Wax Poetics' online store of music memorabilia, but it isn't run by Wax Poetics and belongs to a known scam network. 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 waxpoeticshq.shop is at waxpoetics.com, which belongs to Wax Poetics. Wax Poetics 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 waxpoeticshq.shop is already on HaGeZi's public threat list.

  • Every price cut by 65%

    TEAC World Wide Funk tie-dye turntable (signed), 2017 is $223.30 instead of $638.00, Body Slam b/w I’d Rather Be With You 7-inch, 1982 is $52.50 instead of $150.00, and The Jazz Issue is $7.00 instead of $19.99.

  • Reviews written by the kit, not by customers

    Five-star quotes such as 'The craftsmanship on my wax canvas jacket is incredible, It fits perfectly and handles the rain with style' are signed Julian R. and Marcus T., signatures that appear on thousands of other copied stores.

  • More copies of the same store

    Another copy of Wax Poetics' store was online in mid-September 2026: waxpoeticsshop.shop.

  • Template text left in place

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