Why this matters: a convincing fake shop is trying to steal money from Americans hunting for DJI kit. Mads Tech walks through the dodgy site and the clear red flags.
TL:DR
DJI-US.com is not DJI. It mimics DJI branding, lists products as available, accepts orders, but lacks official contact and company legitimacy. Reports suggest people lost money. Use store.dji.com via dji.com instead.
What Mads Tech found
Mads opens with the official DJI hub to show how the real store links work. Go to dji.com, then click the store link for your country. For the US that link should be store.dji.com.
The imposter site uses a nearly identical name: dji-us.com (rendered on screen as d-j-i-hyphen-u-s dot com). It appeared a few weeks ago and tries to look like the official DJI store.
How the fake store copies DJI
The fake site lifts DJI marketing assets and mirrors page layout. It lists drones and accessories and even copies product pages. That makes it seem authentic at a glance.
But the copy lacks core features. No support links. No genuine service pages. The footer only shows limited information, unlike the official store which links to DJI's full site network.
Stock and checkout trickery
The scammer exploits US shortages by showing items as orderable. Products that are sold out on the real store appear available on the fake one.
Mads demonstrates adding a Mavic 4 Pro to the basket, setting a delivery estimate, and proceeding to payment. The fake checkout asks for delivery and card details like any real store.
Account, emails and fake legitimacy
The site even lets you create an account and sends a "Welcome to DJI store" email. That email fosters trust but proves nothing about the site's legitimacy.
Contact options are bare. An email address exists (service@dji-us.com) and a contact form appears, but no phone number or physical address is listed. That’s a classic red flag.
Corporate paper trail is thin
The fake site claims to be operated by "Earth Thriving Limited." Mads dug through public records and found only a dissolved UK company with a similar name. Whois shows the domain bought earlier this year.
Community reports and payment disputes
Some buyers say they received goods. More posts allege scams. One Reddit user claimed PayPal reversed the charge; others say PayPal protections can fail if the scammer manages early legitimate sales.
Mads warns the site may use legitimate early shipments to establish credibility, then vanish after collecting many payments. That pattern appears consistent with other e‑commerce scams.
What you should do
Do not buy from dji-us.com. Use dji.com and follow its store link. If you paid, contact your card issuer and PayPal immediately to dispute the charge.
Report the site to your bank and to consumer-protection services. Share the warning with the community so fewer people get hurt.
FAQ
Is DJI-US.com an official DJI store?
No. DJI-US.com is not listed on dji.com. The official US store is store.dji.com. Treat dji-us.com as hostile.
How can I verify an official DJI site?
Start at dji.com. Click the country-specific store link. Verify HTTPS, company contacts, support pages, and consistent corporate details across pages.
I paid for an order on the fake site. What now?
Contact your payment provider and open a fraud dispute. Save all emails and screenshots. Report the domain to your national cybercrime unit.
Could the site be legitimate despite oddities?
Unlikely. Lack of verifiable company info, absence from dji.com, fabricated ownership claims, and rising scam reports equal high risk.
