It says "FakeShop" and it's a shop alright. Based in China, as their
returns address is Hong Kong. Could be selling counterfeit goods. I certainly wouldn't use them.
I submitted the finding to Virus Total - only one security vendor
found the URL malicious! (Netcraft)
So why not give the VT link?
Would the "malware" found cause harm to a Mac operating system?
I didn't see any malware.

All the more reason to avoid social media.
I haven't had a Facebook account since ~2010, give or take.
No Instagram, Twitter, X, etc as well.

How about WhatsApp - can you cope with that?

I can cope with anything, but I choose not to install/use WhatsApp.
