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 – only claimed in the text, no seal embedded
We check the embedding, not the content of the certificate: a linked seal may be expired or issued for a different domain.
Warning signals
- Security headers The server sets only some of the common protections. Present: enforced encryption (HSTS) and protection against file type confusion (X-Content-Type-Options). Not set: a content security policy (CSP) and protection against embedding in other sites (X-Frame-Options). On its own this is not evidence of fraud.
- VAT ID (VIES) The VAT identification number given in the legal notice is invalid according to the EU VIES system.
- Trust seal check The “Trusted Shops” 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
- 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.
- Trusted Shops The domain is listed as a certified shop in the Trusted Shops member directory - the provider has passed an external audit and is listed there by name.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
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.
- SSL certificate The connection is encrypted; the current certificate was issued on 26 June 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.
- 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 PayPal, 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.
- 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.
- 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.
