- Run the check again immediately before buying if the displayed check date is no longer current.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 Retromotion (retromotion.com) on 2026-10-01 for typical fake shop characteristics. 39 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
- AI page analysis Content analysis of the page text revealed individual conspicuous features, such as unusually high discounts, artificial time pressure or copied product descriptions.
- Payment methods Only a single common payment method is recognisable; secured alternatives are missing.
In the shop's favour
- PayPal support PayPal is named as a payment method - a payment route with buyer protection is therefore available, through which money can be reclaimed if goods are not delivered.
- Trustpilot On Trustpilot the shop is listed with 4,3 out of 5 from 39 reviews - independent feedback from customers that anyone can read.
- 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 17 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.
- VAT ID (VIES) The VAT identification number given in the legal notice is valid according to the EU VIES system and matches the company details.
- Trade register Commercial register number and register court are stated and the entry was confirmed online - there is therefore a genuinely existing, registered company behind the shop.
- External reputation feeds The external security databases queried hold no warning about this domain - neither for malware nor for phishing.
- Reputation Web research shows predominantly positive experiences with this provider (4 out of 5 stars from 38 reviews).
Further checks
- Imprint The legal notice names asellerate GmbH as the operator, registered under HRB 735593, with reachable contact details. That number can be looked up in the public register - in a dispute there is someone to turn to who demonstrably exists.
- Server location The site's server is located in Frankfurt am Main, 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 30 September 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.
- 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.
- 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.
What we could not verify
