Warning signals
- Imprint A legal notice is linked, but it provides no usable contact details or was itself unreachable.
- 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 6 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.
- 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.
- Trust seal check The embedded trust seal is officially linked or confirmed by the provider - it can therefore be traced back to the issuing body.
Further checks
- Server location The site's server is located in Ashburn, 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.
- 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.
- Financial fraud The site shows no financial fraud characteristics or belongs to a regulated financial institution - the typical patterns of investment fraud are absent.
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
