We are currently increasingly coming across fake shops that claim to specialize in department store clearances or to sell excess inventory from Amazon or department stores.

This is also how you justify your low prices for branded products such as KitchenAid, Weber or DeLonghi. But if you look closely, you can see that these are fake shops. weeedition.com, txsxj.com or verstorefront.com: The website addresses may not sound like it, but these sites offer KitchenAid or Weber-Grille brand kitchen appliances. At least that's what criminals who run fake shops at these addresses claim!

From goods clearance, customs clearance and excess inventory!

The fake shops mentioned above are just three of many sites that claim to specialize in “warehouse clearance, customs clearance, backorders, shelf clearance, wholesale merchandise, wholesale clearance.” Other websites say that “Amazon and department stores” are working together “to liquidate their excess inventory. We found the self-descriptions of the fake shops in German and English:

We work directly with e-commerce sites like Amazon and department stores to liquidate their excess inventory. We are able to pass on these great discounts to our customers due to our large volume of returns from customers purchasing clean and excess inventory. Our Amazon Liquidation Truck prices are incredibly low! We also work with dealers using Ebay, swap meets, flea market discounters, auctions and export channels.

Not only does this sound too good to be true, but it is. Anyone who shops here will lose their money and not receive any goods!

The fake shops claim to sell branded products. We came across the following brands that are being imitated by criminals: Breville, Dainese, DeLonghi, Fjällräven, Kitchenaid, Krups, Monture, Ralph Lauren, Salewa, Sportiva, The North Face and Weber.
These brands have nothing to do with the shops. Criminals steal company logos, product images and descriptions from the shops’ official pages.
Fake shops advertise on social platforms
Many of the fake shops can be found not only through internet searches, but also through advertising on Facebook and Instagram. In some cases, the same texts from different shops are even used.

How can you recognize the fake shops yourself?

Pay attention to the following tips so that you can recognize fake shops yourself in the future:

  • Missing imprint. Fake shops are sometimes not that easy to spot because they look very professional. Last but not least, this is because many typical fake shops actually have a complete imprint (but copied from reputable websites). This is not the case with these fake shops. There is no imprint at all. This means you don't know who you're dealing with.
  • Arbitrary pricing: We compared the prices and found that the products in the fake shops are usually several hundred euros cheaper.
  • Linguistic errors: You will often find numerous errors on the websites because they are translated automatically. The use of different languages ​​on the same website is also a red flag.
  • Search via official websites: Brands such as Weber or KitchenAid offer a dealer search on their website. There you will find all the companies that sell the brand. Search there or ask customer support if you know the online shop.
