Urgent Consumer Alert ⚠ A highly sophisticated and coordinated e-commerce scam network targeting shoppers across the Middle East—specifically in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia (KSA)—has been uncovered. Operating hundreds of automated, template-based websites under a generic “متجر إونلاين” (Online Store) layout, this network mimics luxury perfume boutiques, cosmetics outlets, and sneaker shops to compromise credit card details and steal money.
Anatomy of the Middle East Luxury Scam
The malicious operators heavily rely on social media advertisements to redirect victims to their storefronts. To establish unearned trust, they deploy cloned news portals like misbaruae.com (disguised as the legitimate UAE news platform “مسبار الإمارات”). These fake news sites publish automated articles that serve as promotional funnels, directly linking users back to their fraudulent store nodes.
Once on the fake e-shops (such as boutiquee.store, gallerymiddleeast.store, or middleeastfragrances.store), users are presented with identical pricing structures. High-end, premium fragrance brands like Assaf, Ibrahim Al-Qurashi, and Amouage are listed with extreme, unrealistic discounts of 60% to 86%. Most luxury items are priced uniformly at 129 AED or 199 AED to prompt impulsive checkout decisions.
The network systematically registers massive batches of domains using keywords like boutique, fragrances, gallery, bouquet, and middleeast across cheap, generic top-level domains (.store, .online, .click, .beauty, .cfd, .cyou) to continuously launch new variants when older ones get suspended.
Do not attempt to purchase from, browse, or register accounts on any of the following newly discovered infrastructure links.
