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.
- 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 has existed for 6 months and therefore not for a full year - unusual for an established retailer, but typical for a freshly created shop.
- 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.
- Legal pages One of the mandatory legal texts (terms and conditions, right of withdrawal or privacy policy) is not linked on the site.
- Payment methods Only a single common payment method is recognisable; secured alternatives are missing.
- Redirects The address redirects to a third-party domain or passes through an unusual number of redirects - there is no independent shop under the address entered.
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 Seattle, 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 site is encrypted with a valid SSL certificate issued by a recognised authority - data entered is protected in transit. On its own this says nothing about the operator's trustworthiness.
- Security headers The server sets the common security headers - the site is technically cleanly configured. On its own this says nothing about the provider's trustworthiness.
- Social media presence The linked social media profiles are reachable - the provider can therefore also be checked outside its own website.
- Contact data plausibility The contact details given are plausible: the email address belongs to the shop domain and the phone number is correctly formatted - fake shops mostly use free webmail addresses here.
- 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.
- Content depth The site has an extensive structure with many subpages - that points to a product range grown over time rather than a quickly assembled sales page.
- URL structure clone The URL structure shows no conspicuous overlap with other shops we have checked - an indication that the site does not come from a clone series.
- 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.
- Operator cluster The site shares no operator-specific identifiers with other domains we have checked - there is therefore no indication of a network of similar shops.
All findings come from an automated check of the publicly reachable website as well as public registers, warning lists and security databases. How we check
