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.

• EHI Geprüfter Online-Shop – embedded as an image, but not clickable

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.
• 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 5 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.
• 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.
• IP neighborhood At least one known fake shop is in the domain's IP neighbourhood, or known fake shops accumulate in the same subnet.
• External reputation feeds External security databases list the domain as malicious (malware or phishing).
• Trust seal check The “EHI Geprüfter Online-Shop” seal is shown as a logo only, without a link to the official provider - its authenticity cannot be verified. A genuine seal is clickable and leads to the certificate at the issuer; the seal providers themselves point this out.

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

• Imprint The legal notice names MessTool GmbH as the operator with reachable contact details - in a dispute there is someone to turn to.
• 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 connection is encrypted; the current certificate was issued on 13 May 2026. Encryption says nothing about the operator's trustworthiness, though: a fake shop gets it free of charge too.
• 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 credit card 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.
• Content depth The site has very few subpages - an established shop with a real product range looks different.
• Text quality The page text is linguistically unremarkable - no leftover placeholder text, no missing umlauts, no machine-like flow.

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.
