Checked online shops for electronics

Electronics is the category with the highest individual losses. Smartphones, graphics cards, televisions and large household appliances have transparent market prices, which is why fraudsters here rarely work with implausible discounts and instead use tightly calculated offers that still look just about believable. Recurring patterns are a checkout that displays every convenient payment method but ends up permitting only advance bank transfer; a supposedly German bricks-and-mortar store whose address belongs to a private house or a mailbox address; availability counters and countdown timers manufacturing artificial time pressure; and company details lifted from the legal notice of a real retailer. The resale of grey imports without manufacturer warranty also falls into this field. The shops listed here have been checked automatically against technical and formal characteristics, not for device quality or warranty handling. Before larger orders, check the commercial register entry of the company named in the legal notice, call the phone number given as a test, and insist on a payment method with buyer protection or on payment by invoice. A four-figure amount sent by instant bank transfer to an unfamiliar merchant is practically impossible to recover. Also keep the order confirmation, the payment receipt and a screenshot of the product page for as long as the goods have not arrived.
