FakeshopAI automatically checked Winehouseportugal (winehouseportugal.com) on 2026-09-08 for typical fake shop characteristics. 37 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.
- PayPal support PayPal is not mentioned as a payment method on the pages checked; a payment route with buyer protection is therefore not recognisable.
- 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.
- Legal pages One mandatory legal text is missing from the site: the right of withdrawal. The other mandatory details are linked.
- Reputation Web research found indications of negative experiences that could not be conclusively confirmed (rating 2.5 out of 5 from 350 reviews).
- Domain disguise The domain name presents itself as a country presence but does not use that country's suffix - this is how counterfeit brand shops imitate a local presence that does not exist.
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 15 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 Falkenstein, 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 connection is encrypted; the certificate was issued by Let's Encrypt and last renewed on 27 July 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Content depth The site has an extensive structure with many subpages - that points to a product range grown over time rather than a quickly assembled sales page.
- 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.
- Text quality The page text shows one linguistic irregularity (such as placeholder text, missing umlauts or unnatural flow).
- Country coherence Country of the responsible entity, VAT ID and legal details are consistent; the VAT ID given is registered in Portugal.
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.
