Is Handcrafted Magazine (handcrafted-magazine.com) trustworthy? Suspicious signals
suspiciousCaution is advised with this provider. Several of the checked characteristics are conspicuous or incomplete.
Before ordering, independently verify the imprint, payment methods and reviews, and avoid prepayment.
What you should do next
The check does not provide a clear picture for handcrafted-magazine.com. Resolve the open and suspicious points before sending money or personal data.
- Compare the company, address and register details in the legal notice with an independent source.
- Do not pay by bank transfer, advance payment or cryptocurrency; use effective buyer protection instead.
- Run the check again immediately before buying if the displayed check date is no longer current.
- Review the data gaps: an unverifiable signal is neither positive evidence nor a suspicion.
FakeshopAI automatically checked Handcrafted Magazine (handcrafted-magazine.com) on 2026-07-08 for typical fake shop characteristics. 34 check points were evaluated, covering operator details, legal notices, payment methods, technology, domain history and reputation. The individual findings are listed below.
Shop facts
Warning signals
- WHOIS According to WHOIS the domain has been registered for less than two years; there is no longer operating history.
- DNS configuration Neither MX nor SPF records are configured for the domain - there is no working email infrastructure, even though a shop should be reachable by email.
- External reputation feeds External security databases list the domain as suspicious - there is no confirmed classification as malicious, but there is a residual risk.
- Reputation Web research found indications of negative experiences that could not be conclusively confirmed (rating 0 out of 5 from 12 reviews).
- Imprint
In the shop's favour
- Domain age The domain has existed for 13 months and therefore more than a year - fake shops usually disappear from the web considerably sooner.
Further checks
- 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 5 June 2026. Encryption says nothing about the operator's trustworthiness, though: a fake shop gets it free of charge too.
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.
