DMARC is the rule a domain owner publishes telling mail servers what to do with email that pretends to come from them. The stronger it is, the more likely scammers switch to lookalike domains, which is why the next section matters.

We check misspellings, look-alike characters, and the IKEA name combined with words like “order”, “orders”, “rewards” across common domain endings. A registered lookalike is not proof of a scam: companies often register typos of their own name to protect customers. But you should never trust a message from one.

Scams using the IKEA name
Retail scams borrow the trust you already have in big stores: fake orders, fake prizes, and fake business inquiries.
An order you did not make
A message confirms an expensive order or subscription and gives a number to call to cancel. The refund agent then asks for remote access to your computer or your bank details.
A free voucher or prize
Social media posts or texts promise a gift card, hamper or prize for completing a short survey. The survey collects your personal details or card number.
A fake supplier or wholesale inquiry
Businesses receive inquiries that appear to come from a major retailer, asking for a price list or minimum order quantity. The goal is an upfront fee or a large fake order.

Step by step
How to check a message that claims to be from IKEA
- 1
Look at the actual sender address, not just the name. Tap or hover over the name to reveal it. It must end in @ikea.com, or a subdomain of one.
- 2
Do not use links or phone numbers from the message. Type ikea.com into your browser or open the official IKEA app, and check your account there.
- 3
Slow down when you see urgency, small fees, gift cards, crypto, or requests for codes and passwords. Those are the levers every scam pulls.

Questions
IKEA scam FAQ
What email address does IKEA use?
Genuine IKEA email comes from addresses ending in @ikea.com, or a subdomain of those (for example something@mail.ikea.com). An address on any other domain, even one containing "ikea", is not IKEA.
Can scammers fake an @ikea.com email address?
Strong. ikea.com tells receiving mail servers to reject email that fakes an @ikea.com address. Scammers usually switch to lookalike domains instead, so check the domain carefully.
Are there websites pretending to be IKEA?
On 14 October 2026 we checked 168 lookalike domain names and found 35 registered. 10 appear to be owned by IKEA or a brand-protection service, 2 are parked or for sale, and 22 could not be linked to IKEA while hosting a website or accepting email. A registered lookalike is not proof of a scam, but any message from one deserves suspicion.
What should I do if I clicked a link in a fake IKEA message?
Do not enter anything else. If you typed a password, change it at ikea.com straight away and turn on two-step sign-in. If you entered card or bank details, call your bank using the number on your card. Then report the message using the guide below.
