2 fake Typology stores cut prices by 70% and share one server

Typology's layout, with prices in dollars

Typology's homepage is restrained: a black announcement bar, a centred Typology Paris mark, sparse navigation, pale editorial photos and product-led copy. The fake stores reproduce that hierarchy closely enough to feel familiar before a shopper reads a word.

They aren't pixel-perfect. They swap the hero photo, move search into a large field, relabel the navigation and show prices in dollars. Those changes make each one read as a regional Typology storefront.

Close enough to pass as a regional Typology store before a shopper reads a word.

What we caught

01 · The Typology PARIS lockup, copiedHeader

Both stores use the Typology wordmark with the PARIS lockup, centred above a sparse beauty-store menu.

02 · Serum A3, Refiner T30, Concealer T20Store

Real product names run throughout, including Skin Texture Refiner T30, Hydrating Serum A3 and Tinted Concealer T20.

03 · $41.50 products for $12.45Products

Products are repeatedly cut to 30% of their listed price. A $41.50 product becomes $12.45, and a $31.50 product becomes $9.45.

04 · One IP, one pair of nameserversDNS

typologydeal.co and typologydeal.com resolved to the same IP address and used the same pair of nameservers when captured.

2 domains, 1 server

The two domains shared the page title, storefront design, pricing pattern, nameservers and A record. That's one cluster.

One was registered on 17 August 2026. The other uses a country-code extension whose public registration record the scanner couldn't read. The infrastructure links them where ownership records can't.

A 90% visual match with no copied homepage text

The visual assessment rated typologydeal.co a likely copycat at 90% similarity with 93% confidence, and typologydeal.com at 88% similarity with 96% confidence.

The stores showed no broad text overlap with Typology's homepage. The match came from the brand presentation, category, store structure, product names and visual treatment combined.

How to shut it down

The takedown plan, step by step, built from the evidence above.

1

Archive both stores together

Capture both pages, DNS records, timestamps, product pages and checkout paths before the operator changes them.

2

File one package with host and registrar

Send one evidence package tying both domains to the same infrastructure and brand presentation.

3

Report both stores to the payment provider

Identify who processes payments and report both storefronts together, so they're reviewed as one operation.

4

Monitor the shared IP and nameservers

Watch the shared IP, nameservers, page title, brand lockup and product-copy pattern for the next domain.

Take it down yourself, or have us do it

Summary

At 70% off, it looks like a Typology promotion

The word deal is the only warning in the domain. After the click, a shopper sees the Typology wordmark, real product names, polished photos and prices that read like a promotion. Anyone who pays $12.45 believes they bought from Typology, and any complaint follows the brand.

Taking down one store removes one URL. Linking both stores to one server lets you go after the operator's setup and catch the next domain that lands on it.
