The provider's own description, taken verbatim from the shop's pages – no statement about whether the goods exist or are ever delivered.
FakeshopAI automatically checked Warme Quelle (warme-quelle.com) on 2026-07-14 for typical fake shop characteristics. 30 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
- WHOIS According to WHOIS the domain has been registered for less than two years; there is no longer operating history.
- Domain age The domain has existed for 10 months and therefore not for a full year - unusual for an established retailer, but typical for a freshly created shop.
- 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.
- Legal pages One mandatory legal text is missing from the site: the right of withdrawal. The other mandatory details are linked.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Server location The site's server is located in New York City, 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 18 June 2026. Encryption says nothing about the operator's trustworthiness, though: a fake shop gets it free of charge too.
- 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.
- Hoster reputation There is no conspicuous accumulation of confirmed fake shops at this domain's hosting provider - fraudsters do not favour this provider.
- 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.
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.
