Shop facts
Who runs this site?
Trust seals on this page
A genuine trust seal is clickable and leads to the provider's certificate – a test the seal providers name themselves. We run it automatically on every check.
- Trusted Shops – embedded as an image, but not clickable
We check the embedding, not the content of the certificate: a linked seal may be expired or issued for a different domain.
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.
- 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 hardly any of the common security headers - the site is technically carelessly configured; on its own this is not evidence of fraud.
- Payment methods Only a single common payment method is recognisable; secured alternatives are missing.
- 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).
- Template/clone fingerprint One known fake shop has the same kit fingerprint as this site.
- Trust seal check The “Trusted Shops” seal is shown as a logo only, without a link to the official provider - its authenticity cannot be verified. A genuine seal is clickable and leads to the certificate at the issuer; the seal providers themselves point this out.
- Reputation Web research found confirmed negative reports about this provider.
Same operator traces
These domains share an operator-specific marker with the checked site. Fake shops are rarely run on their own.
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
- SSL certificate The connection is encrypted; the certificate was issued by Google Trust Services and last renewed on 8 August 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.
- Redirects The address does not redirect to a third-party domain - the shop is actually operated under the address you opened.
- 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.
