The provider's own description, taken verbatim from the shop's pages – no statement about whether the goods exist or are ever delivered.
FakeshopAI automatically checked Cyclepartsstore (cyclepartsstore.com) on 2026-08-20 for typical fake shop characteristics. 33 check points were evaluated, covering operator details, legal notices, payment methods, technology, domain history and reputation. The individual findings are listed below.
Shop facts
Warning signals
- Imprint No legal notice with a proper postal address can be found on this site - for an offer aimed at German-speaking customers this disclosure is required by law.
- PayPal support PayPal is not mentioned as a payment method on the pages checked; a payment route with buyer protection is therefore not recognisable.
- WHOIS According to WHOIS the domain has been registered for less than two years; there is no longer operating history.
- Fake shop lists The domain is listed on official warning lists for fraudulent shops (1 list hits) - consumer protection bodies or authorities have already recorded it as a fraud site.
- Domain age The domain is only 5 months old; fake shops are typically online for a short time only.
- DNS configuration Neither MX nor SPF records are configured for the domain - there is no working email infrastructure, even though a shop should be reachable by email.
- Security headers The server sets only some of the common protections. Present: enforced encryption (HSTS). Not set: a content security policy (CSP), protection against embedding in other sites (X-Frame-Options) and protection against file type confusion (X-Content-Type-Options). On its own this is not evidence of fraud.
- Legal pages One mandatory legal text is missing from the site: the right of withdrawal. The other mandatory details are linked.
- Social media presence No social media profiles are linked, or the linked profiles are unreachable - there is therefore no independently verifiable trace of the provider online.
- Contact data plausibility The contact details given are only partly plausible (third-party email domain or implausible phone number).
In the shop's favour
- External reputation feeds The external security databases queried hold no warning about this domain - neither for malware nor for phishing.
Further checks
- Server location The site's server is located in San Francisco, US and therefore within the EU/US area - a legal area in which claims against the operator can be enforced if necessary.
- SSL certificate The connection is encrypted; the current certificate was issued on 19 July 2026. Encryption says nothing about the operator's trustworthiness, though: a fake shop gets it free of charge too.
- Redirects The address does not redirect to a third-party domain - the shop is actually operated under the address you opened.
- Template/clone fingerprint No known fake shop has the same template fingerprint as this site - a mass-produced kit of the kind fraud networks use is therefore not detectable.
- Country coherence Country of the responsible entity, VAT ID and legal details are consistent - the statements about the company's registered office do not contradict each other.
- Financial fraud The site shows no financial fraud characteristics or belongs to a regulated financial institution - the typical patterns of investment fraud are absent.
- Scam pattern No known scam pattern was detected - the site does not match any of the fraud patterns documented by us.
What we could not verify
These checks returned no result – for example because the site blocked our request or a registry was unreachable. This is explicitly NOT a suspicion: it only means we lack the basis for a statement here.
