We warn you about a number of webshops that attract attention on Facebook in the form of advertising posts!

Facebook users are currently noticing various web shops on Facebook that are displayed in the form of sponsored posts. Sponsored in this case means that the operators of the pages pay money to Facebook in order to get an expanded reach.

These web shops contain various lifestyle products, which they offer at high discounts. The articles, as well as the linked pages, are often in English.

However, a closer look at these sites shows that they behave quite dubiously. For example, you will not find any information about the owner on the Facebook pages or on the websites.

These shops, which call themselves “PlushHeaven,” “PlushUltra.co,” and similar, all opened on Facebook on the same day. They are also thematically congruent.

Danger of a fake shop!

These web shops have the typical characteristics of fake shops and should therefore be treated with caution. The biggest problem is simply the lack of transparency on the part of the owners, as even with research you come across shell companies.

There is often a double danger lurking in fake shops, because you either do not receive the goods you paid for or you only receive inferior goods, but also the credit card details that had to be provided when paying are now in unsafe hands.

You can certainly speak of a fake if web shops have the following criteria:

Prices too low
No owner information
Conflicting payment methods or only advance payment possible
Misuse of quality marks
If at least two criteria are met, you should refrain from ordering.

Fallen for a fake online shop?

Please contact your bank or credit card company immediately and explain what happened. In this case, a chargeback may be initiated. Anyone who paid via PayPal should use buyer protection.

In the worst case scenario, however, you have lost the money. You can also file a report with the police at any time.
