The individual findings are listed below.
Shop facts
Who runs this site?
Warning signals
- WHOIS According to WHOIS the domain has been registered for less than two years; there is no longer operating history.
- Domain age The domain was registered only a few months ago; fake shops are typically online for a short time only.
- Security headers The server sets only some of the common protections. Present: protection against embedding in other sites (X-Frame-Options) and protection against file type confusion (X-Content-Type-Options). Not set: enforced encryption (HSTS) and a content security policy (CSP). On its own this is not evidence of fraud.
- 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.
- VAT ID (VIES) The VAT identification number given in the legal notice is invalid according to the EU VIES system.
In the shop's favour
- 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.
- 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.
- Legal pages The site links the privacy policy. Terms and conditions and a right of withdrawal are only required when selling to consumers and were not checked here.
- 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.
- External reputation feeds The external security databases queried hold no warning about this domain - neither for malware nor for phishing.
Further checks
- Imprint The shop has a legal notice with reachable contact details (email or phone) - in a dispute there is a named contact to address a complaint to.
- SSL certificate The connection is encrypted; the current certificate was issued on 18 August 2026. Encryption says nothing about the operator's trustworthiness, though: a fake shop gets it free of charge too.
- Fake shop lists The domain does not appear on any of the fake shop warning lists checked - warning lists lag behind newly created shops, however, so this is no clean bill of health.
- Redirects The address does not redirect to a third-party domain - the shop is actually operated under the address you opened.
- 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 VAT ID given is registered in Germany.
- 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.
- 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.
