Operator and registers

• Warning signTerms, withdrawal and privacy Several mandatory legal texts are missing from the site: the terms and conditions and the right of withdrawal.
• No issue foundCountry, legal terms and VAT ID Country of the responsible entity, VAT ID and legal details are consistent and all point to Germany. The statements about the company's registered office do not contradict each other.
• UnclearLegal notice The legal notice names a provider with contact details. That does not establish that the shop belongs to this provider.

Checked, nothing found: Email address and phone number.

Warning lists and reports

• Warning signPublic warning lists The domain is listed on official warning lists for fraudulent shops (1 list hits). Consumer protection bodies or authorities have already recorded it as a fraud site.
• Warning signReports and reviews on the web Web research found indications of negative experiences that could not be conclusively confirmed (rating 1.9 out of 5 from 12 reviews).

Checked, nothing found: Warnings from security services, Comparison with known fake shop templates, Links to other shops, Signs of investment or banking fraud, Known scam patterns.

Trust seals

• Warning signTrust seals shown as images A well-known trust seal is only embedded as an image and does not lead to the official provider. A genuine seal is always linked.

Domain

Checked, nothing found: Redirects.

Technology

• Warning signServer protection settings The server sets only some of the common protections. Present: a content security policy (CSP). Not set: enforced encryption (HSTS), protection against embedding in other sites (X-Frame-Options) and protection against file type confusion (X-Content-Type-Options). On its own this is not evidence of fraud.
• Warning signSocial media profiles No social media profiles are linked, or the linked profiles are unreachable. There is therefore no independently verifiable trace of the provider online.
• Warning signText quality The page text shows one linguistic irregularity (such as placeholder text, missing umlauts or unnatural flow).
• No issue foundServer location The site's server is located in San Francisco, United States. The location says nothing about where the provider is based.
• No issue foundEncrypted connection The connection is encrypted; the certificate was issued by Let's Encrypt and last renewed on 12 July 2026. You can verify this yourself 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.

Checked, nothing found: Email setup of the domain.

What we could not verify

Not a suspicion: we lack the basis for a statement on these points. VAT ID, Commercial register, Return address, Trustpilot, Site structure comparison, Trusted Shops, Trust seals on the page, Authenticity of the Trusted Shops seal, Domain registration data, Age of the domain, Brand or authority name in the address, Imitated country or brand address, Other sites on the same server, Reputation of the hosting provider, Size of the website, Shop platform used.

All findings come from an automated check of the publicly reachable website as well as public registers, warning lists and security databases. How we check
