Damn this board, wouldn’t let me post all the details, x2 links max…

ANW reddit link www.reddit.com/r/Jolla/comments/1vs89j9/rysa_ruzzkies_ai_cloning_scammers_selling_jolla/

Need to make you aware, as AI has copied the site rather well and is likely to fool people stealing money, demanding phones from jolla after.

Sweet man-made horrors within my comprehension

Jolla is a rather peculiar and tiny target. I guess those scammers are cloning just about anything that looks like a shop.

One has to be increasingly cautious with new online shop (addresses) one has not previously made good experiences with.

I have reported it to https://www.dynadot.com/report-abuse with this info:

Trademark Word/Symbol:
JOLLA

Registration Number:
4680329

Registration Office:
United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO)

Comments:
The reported domain jolla.shop appears to impersonate the JOLLA trademark and the official Jolla online shop.

Trademark: JOLLA
Trademark owner: Jolla Oy
Registration number: 4680329
Registration office: United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO)

The trademark registration covers mobile phones, mobile phone accessories, and online shopping/retail services for mobile phones and accessories. The suspicious domain uses the JOLLA name and offers a “Jolla Phone October 2026” product page, which may mislead customers into believing it is the official Jolla shop.

The trademark owner is Jolla Oy, a Finnish company. The trademark reference provided here is the USPTO registration for JOLLA, Registration Number 4680329, based on international registration number 1195486.

Legitimate Jolla shop/product page:
Jolla Phone – Jolla Shop

Suspicious URL:
hxxps://jolla.shop/products/jolla-phone-october-2026

This appears to be brand impersonation, possible phishing, and fraudulent e-commerce activity.

So, how did you figure out it was from Georgia? And what surprises me is, if they put just a little more effort into the site, we wouldn’t even be able to tell the difference :smiley:

It is already blocked by Cisco:

Just because I am crazy and I have some power, firewalls from Palo Alto will soon block that site.

(Granted… this will only benefit users behind a corporate network, not everyone have a firewall worth thousands of dollars at home :slight_smile:)

EDIT:
Should now be in effect:

Thanks again for your URL re-categorization request. As a result of our re-evaluation, we have made the following changes:

URL: jolla[.]shop

The new categorization is available starting with URL DB version: 20260819.20187

Yes, of course. But it is a good sign, that some automatic block lists already know this scam.

ups… edited my post.

Sorry, I meant OP @Alvy-Das

Did bit of a “host” IP tracking, they were (proxy) hosted like about x6 sites “in open” as in Georgia at the time… which doesn’t mean much, but as you can spoof IP, most site hosting services allow is these days.

14

100%, as even when I’ve got “baited” (not really),

By the time, I I was scrambling to register here…

By the time I posted on reddit, IP was showing different “location”, still in Georgia, none the less

15

TBF host services “dropped the ball”, allowing those free, next to free promotional site registers to use almost anonymously. Top that, the registrar didn’t even have a direct working contact number to contact on and was asking to register, in order to submit online form/report- very much given an opportunity for some snot, that barely speaks English (mistakes in wording), just copy-pasted AI made template and… (was tempted “to buy something”), just to be able to trace transaction afterwards… but it would’ve taken days.

wouldn’t surprise me, if somebody had paid money, when/ if they’ll realise, will they ever get any of it back?

as @PolatBirdal says, it won’t be long, before this sort of a hosting negligence, site cloning/copying will become more sophisticated and succsesfull.

@Alvy-Das sorry, I meant the link straight to the jolla.slop site you linked in post #1. You can see that already 18 people* actually clicked on it :person_facepalming:

Please edit to make it at least unclickable (surround with ` i.e. backticks) or otherwise obfuscate it.

My bad (hopeful) people aren’t gullible to not to click on or to “buy”, Except for recreational purposes to make their life harder :smiley:

Thanks for sorting it (deleting) links yourself :wink:
