FakeshopAI automatically checked Myiq (myiq.com) on 2026-09-08 for typical fake shop characteristics. 36 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
- Imprint A legal notice is linked, but it provides no usable contact details or was itself unreachable.
- 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.
- 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.
- Reputation Web research found indications of negative experiences that could not be conclusively confirmed (rating 2.1 out of 5 from 58 reviews).
In the shop's favour
- PayPal support PayPal is named as a payment method - a payment route with buyer protection is therefore available, through which money can be reclaimed if goods are not delivered.
- Trustpilot On Trustpilot the shop is listed with 4,1 out of 5 from 137694 reviews - independent feedback from customers that anyone can read.
- WHOIS According to WHOIS the domain has been registered for several years, or its registration data has been unchanged for years - an indication of a permanently operated presence.
- Domain age The domain has existed for around 29 years and therefore has a long operating history - fake shops usually disappear again after a few months.
- 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.
- 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 certificate was issued by Google Trust Services and last renewed on 5 September 2026. Anyone can verify this themselves - via the padlock icon in the browser's address bar. Encryption says nothing about the operator's trustworthiness, though: a fake shop gets it free of charge too.
- Legal pages Terms and conditions, right of withdrawal and privacy policy are linked on the site - the mandatory distance selling information is therefore present.
- Payment methods The shop names PayPal, Sofort and purchase on invoice 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 very few subpages - an established shop with a real product range looks different.
- 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.
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.
