Enter the address of an online shop. We evaluate the legal notice, SSL certificate, server location, domain age, reviews and payment methods – our AI weighs the signals into a transparent, traceable score.
Around the clock, our AI screens new online shops for fraud patterns – often before the first buyers lose their money.
The score is not born from a black box. We check hard facts – legal notice, SSL certificate, server location, domain registration date, payment methods, reviews. Our AI detects patterns in these factors that people easily overlook – from the domain history to subtle irregularities in the legal notice.
All ratings are generated fully automatically and AI-assisted. They serve as orientation, may contain errors and do not replace your own verification or legal advice. No guarantee is given for completeness and correctness. A low score is not proof of unlawful conduct.
Not an abstract score – a real inspection dashboard. Every signal, every warning, every weighting is laid bare.
Every signal broken down individually – with value, rating and reasoning. Nothing stays in the black box.
Newly detected fake shops appear in real time – seconds after the AI analysis.
