Confirmed lookalike domains

Critical riskFake storefront — letter-scramble lookalike on .shop

brumaste.shop

Registration profileNewly registered ahead of its fake-store run — no multi-year WHOIS history behind the name

First seenJuly 2026, in a BBB scam report

Evidence

A one-character scramble of the brand’s name (“brumaste”) on the .shop TLD — built to read as an official BrüMate outlet to shoppers who don’t compare it against brumate.com.
Confirmed by a July 2026 BBB scam report: a cloned BrüMate storefront with the catalog “marked down” 70–90% off, harvesting card details at checkout.
Copies the real store’s product photography, drinkware lineup, and layout — a deliberate replica, not a reseller or fan shop.

Critical riskFake storefront — suffixed lookalike (“onlineshop”)

brumateonlineshop.com

Registration profileNewly registered as the replacement storefront in the rotation — a fresh domain carrying the same operation forward

First seenSeptember 2026, in public fake-shop and network-analysis reports

Evidence

The successor storefront of the operation that previously ran brumateshop.com — September 2026 network analysis (Jacana) tied the two domains to the same crew, documenting a deliberate domain rotation.
Same playbook as its predecessor: full BrüMate storefront clone, everything “marked down,” card details collected at checkout.
The suffixed name is the tell — the real brand sells at brumate.com and through authorized retailers; no suffixed “BrüMate” domain is real.

High riskFake storefront — suffixed lookalike; predecessor in the rotation

brumateshop.com

Registration profileNewly registered for the earlier leg of the same operation’s run — replaced by brumateonlineshop.com once it accumulated reports

First seenEarlier in 2026; tied to brumateonlineshop.com as the same operation by September 2026 network analysis

Evidence

The predecessor storefront in the documented rotation: brumateshop.com was flagged as a fake BrüMate store, and the operation resurfaced on brumateonlineshop.com — September 2026 network analysis ties both domains to the same crew.
Cloned the BrüMate storefront with catalog-wide “markdowns” and harvested card details at checkout.
May now be dormant or redirecting since the operation rotated — but treat any resurfaced “BrüMate” shop domain as fake until it is checked against brumate.com.

High riskFake storefront — transposed-letter lookalike on .shop

brutmae.shop

Registration profileNewly registered ahead of its flagging — a transposed spelling of the brand name, no multi-year history

First seenAugust 2026, in public fake-shop scanner reports

Evidence

“brutmae” is a transposition of “brumate” — a typo-domain dressed up as a shop, counting on shoppers not comparing it letter-by-letter to the real brumate.com.
Flagged in August 2026 by public fake-shop scanner reports (Gridinsoft) as a fake BrüMate storefront.
Same pattern as the rest of the set: cloned catalog, deep “clearance” discounts, card details harvested at checkout.

High riskFake storefront — suffixed lookalike (“depot”)

brumatedepot.com

Registration profileRegistered May 2026 — roughly two months before it was flagged as an active fake store

First seenJuly 2026, in public fake-shop scanner reports

Evidence

Registered in May 2026 and flagged by July 2026 — a fresh domain spun up specifically for the fake-store run, not a long-standing retailer.
Public fake-shop scanner reports (Gridinsoft, July 2026) identify it as a BrüMate-cloning storefront.
The “depot” suffix mimics an outlet/discount framing — the real brand operates only at brumate.com and authorized retailers.

High riskFake storefront — hyphenated lookalike

brumate-store.com

Registration profileNewly registered hyphenated lookalike — no brand authorization, no multi-year history

First seen2026, in ScamPulse consumer reports

Evidence

Flagged on ScamPulse as a fake BrüMate storefront — the hyphenated “-store” naming trick is the same one used against other drinkware brands (see the Corkcicle case on this site).
Clones the real storefront with catalog-wide “markdowns” and collects card details at checkout.
The real BrüMate is at brumate.com — a hyphen or a suffix in the domain name is the giveaway.

Pattern watchlist — not yet independently confirmed

brumate-outlet.com — Pattern-documented follow-on naming (-outlet, -store, -shop): this operation has been observed replacing a flagged domain within weeks, so treat any suffixed or hyphenated “BrüMate” domain as fake until it is verified against brumate.com.

Red flags in this impersonation

01Hyphenated and suffixed lookalike domains — the real brand is at brumate.com. brumate-store.com (hyphen), brumateshop.com / brumateonlineshop.com / brumatedepot.com (suffixes), and letter-scrambles like brumaste.shop and brutmae.shop are fakes by construction.

0270–90% “clearance” framing — the whole catalog “marked down” with no legitimate sale event is the fake-store lure.

03Card harvesting at checkout — the payment form feeds the operators, not a real payment processor; victims get no delivery, counterfeit goods, or follow-on card fraud.

04Domain rotation — a flagged fake store is replaced by a fresh domain within weeks (brumateshop.com → brumateonlineshop.com, confirmed by network analysis). This is why one-off takedowns don’t keep pace: the crew is back on a new name before reports accumulate.

05Newly registered domains — brumatedepot.com was registered in May 2026 and flagged by July 2026; a real consumer brand carries years of history.

06Convincing clones — the storefronts copy the real product photography, layout, and copy, so “it looks legit” is not evidence. The domain is the evidence.
