**Scam Campaign Report: Shaperlady.com E-commerce Fraud Operation**
Cybersecurity analysts have identified a fraudulent e-commerce operation centered around the domain shaperlady.com, which was registered on April 9, 2025, through Alibaba Cloud Computing Ltd. d/b/a HiChina (www.net.cn). The campaign also utilizes the www.shaperlady.com subdomain, with both domains being reported together by consumers with a confidence level of 0.35 across multiple relationship instances. This connected infrastructure suggests a coordinated effort to maximize the scam's reach through multiple web entry points.
Consumer complaints reveal a pattern of classic e-commerce fraud targeting shoppers seeking women's clothing and undergarments. Multiple victims report ordering products from shaperlady.com, including bras and pants costing over $50, only to receive either no products or items that do not match their orders. One victim reported receiving a fake tracking number that showed no order in the system, while another waited over a month to receive two items that differed completely from the two pairs of pants they had ordered. When customers attempt to resolve these issues, they encounter unresponsive or unhelpful customer service representatives who cannot provide adequate solutions or refunds.
The operation appears to leverage social media marketing, specifically Facebook under the business name "Shaperlady," to drive traffic to their fraudulent website. This multi-platform approach increases their victim pool by creating an appearance of legitimacy through social media presence while directing customers to complete purchases on their scam website. The use of professional-sounding customer service interactions initially deceives victims into believing they are dealing with a legitimate business.
To protect against similar scams, consumers should verify online retailers before making purchases by checking domain registration dates, reading independent reviews, and confirming the business has verifiable contact information and return policies. If contacted by suspicious retailers through email or social media, do not click on links or provide personal information. Instead, independently search for the company through search engines. If you encounter this scam or similar fraudulent operations, report them immediately to the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov or file a complaint with the FCC. Consumers can verify the safety of domains and phone numbers by checking them against known scam databases and consumer protection websites before engaging with unfamiliar businesses.
This campaign represents a moderate threat level with confirmed victim impact through financial losses and non-delivery of goods. Recommended next steps include avoiding any transactions with shaperlady.com or its variants, reporting any encounters with these domains to appropriate authorities, and sharing awareness of this scam with others who may be targeted through social media advertising for women's clothing retailers.
