Is zigarreshop.de a fake shop?
dangerThis provider should be strictly avoided. The check shows clear signs of a fraudulent shop. Note: Some of the checks returned no data – the assessment is based on limited data.
Do not place any orders here and do not enter any payment or contact details. Check the relevant warning lists and report the shop if you suspect fraud.

FakeshopAI automatically checked Zigarreshop (zigarreshop.de) on 2026-09-03 for typical fake shop characteristics. 33 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?
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 – leads to the provider
We check the embedding, not the content of the certificate: a linked seal may be expired or issued for a different domain.
Warning signals
- PayPal support PayPal is not mentioned as a payment method on the pages checked; a payment route with buyer protection is therefore not recognisable.
- 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.
- Trusted Shops seal match According to its public profile the embedded Trusted Shops seal belongs to zigarre.de and therefore to a different domain - an indication of a foreign or stolen seal.
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.
- External reputation feeds The external security databases queried hold no warning about this domain - neither for malware nor for phishing.
- Trust seal check The embedded trust seal is officially linked or confirmed by the provider - it can therefore be traced back to the issuing body.
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 San Francisco, US 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 current certificate was issued on 13 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.
- Security headers The server sets most of the common protections. Present: enforced encryption (HSTS), protection against embedding in other sites (X-Frame-Options) and protection against file type confusion (X-Content-Type-Options). Not set: a content security policy (CSP). On its own this says nothing about the provider's trustworthiness.
- 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 Sofort and purchase on invoice as payment options - so you 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.
- 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.
- 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.
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.
