Warning signals
- Imprint No legal notice with a proper postal address can be found on this site - for an offer aimed at German-speaking customers this disclosure is required by law.
- 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.
- Domain age The domain is only 6 months old; fake shops are typically online for a short time only.
- 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.
- External reputation feeds External security databases list the domain as malicious (malware or phishing).
- Trust seal check A well-known trust seal is only shown as a logo, without a link to the official provider - its authenticity therefore cannot be verified.
- Reputation Web research found indications of negative experiences that could not be conclusively confirmed (rating 2.5 out of 5 from 4 reviews).
In the shop's favour
- 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.
Further checks
- Server location The site's server is located in Nuremberg, DE 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.
- 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.
- AI page analysis Content analysis of the page text revealed no fraud characteristics: no unrealistic permanent discounts, no artificial time pressure and no copied product descriptions.
- 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 several common, secured payment methods - you therefore 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.
- IP neighborhood No known fake shops are recorded in the domain's IP neighbourhood - no fraud network known to us runs on the same server.
