Maharishi Ayurveda Europe B.V. [DE]
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 Maharishiayurveda (maharishiayurveda.de) on 2026-09-05 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
Who runs this site?
Warning signals
- Legal pages One mandatory legal text is missing from the site: the right of withdrawal. The other mandatory details are linked.
- Country coherence The details on jurisdiction contradict each other: the responsible entity named or the VAT ID belongs to a different country than the law claimed.
In the shop's favour
- Trusted Shops The domain is listed as a certified shop in the Trusted Shops member directory - the provider has passed an external audit and is listed there by name.
- DNS configuration The domain has a complete email configuration with MX and SPF records - the shop can therefore actually send and receive email under its own address.
- VAT ID (VIES) The VAT identification number given in the legal notice is valid according to the EU VIES system and matches the company details.
- External reputation feeds The external security databases queried hold no warning about this domain - neither for malware nor for phishing.
Further checks
- Imprint The legal notice names Maharishi Ayurveda Europe B.V. as the operator, registered under Nr. 67873251, with reachable contact details. That number can be looked up in the public register - in a dispute there is someone to turn to who demonstrably exists.
- Server location The site's server is located in Ottawa, CA and therefore outside the EU and the USA - enforcing your rights there is considerably harder in a dispute.
- SSL certificate The connection is encrypted; the current certificate was issued on 31 August 2026. Encryption says nothing about the operator's trustworthiness, though: a fake shop gets it free of charge too.
- 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.
- Payment methods The shop names PayPal, credit card and Sofort as payment options - so you do not have to pay in advance to order here.
- Redirects The address does not redirect to a third-party domain - the shop is actually operated under the address you opened.
- 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.
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.
