Unfortunately, fake shops are widespread and cannot always be recognized at first glance. Products are presented with images and associated information as in reputable shops. The general terms and conditions and an imprint are also given.
How do you recognize a fake shop?
- The products attract with a reasonable price.
- A high price can also be a sign.
- Payment is ONLY possible via advance payment.
- The right of withdrawal and return does not exist.
We advise you:
- Don't make impulse purchases.
- Compare the price of the product of your choice with the offers from other providers - even in stationary stores.
- Use secure payment methods: Prefer purchasing on account. Under no circumstances should you use payment services such as Western Union or paysafecard.
- Always ensure that you have a secure internet connection (https) when transmitting personal data to the online shop.
- Before you buy, research the platform: search for reviews by name.
How should you behave if you are a victim?
In any case, contact the police and file a report!
