Shop facts
Who runs this site?
Warning signals
- 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 The domain's email configuration is incomplete: either the MX or the SPF record is missing - a permanently operated shop normally maintains both.
- Legal pages One mandatory legal text is missing from the site: the right of withdrawal. The other mandatory details are linked.
- Template/clone fingerprint One known fake shop has the same kit fingerprint as this site.
- Reputation Web research found indications of negative experiences that could not be conclusively confirmed.
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
- 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 20 years and therefore has a long operating history - fake shops usually disappear again after a few months.
- 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.
- 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 certificate was issued by Let's Encrypt 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
