Dennis Bölling founded Fakeshop AI. The service belongs to the company QAD Soft. Address and contact details are in the legal notice.

He is responsible for all blog articles and guide pages on this website. Every text follows the rules below.

Research and first drafts are produced with the help of AI. Every statement is checked against the original source before publication.

Found a mistake in an article? Write to [email protected]. Shop operators who dispute a rating use the correction form.

These rules apply to every article and every guide page.

Primary sources: We rely on police, consumer advice centres, BaFin, the BSI, Watchlist Internet and legal texts. Every source is listed with its retrieval date at the end of the article.
Quotations: A quotation is checked against the original page before it is published.
Our own figures: Figures from our own data state the cut-off date and how they were counted.
No domains from our data: Examples in the text use domains ending in .example. That way an article never names a shop that our check has rated.
Updated: The label Updated only appears on articles whose content has been revised.
