The police are currently warning against buying gold online.
Specifically, it is about the website https://goldscheideanstalt-test-sieger.de or its minimally modified “successor” https://gold-scheideanstalt-testsieger.de.
A man from Duderstadt tried to order gold bars worth several thousand euros via the first-mentioned website. The Duderstadt resident transferred the requested amount in advance to a checking account in Switzerland, but the goods were not delivered.
It turned out that the website was a fake shop that used the imprint of a reputable website ( Gold Silber Kontor ) for its purposes. This company has already filed a criminal complaint in Berlin and warns on its website about the following websites:
Fake shops on the internet! At this point we would like to warn you about the following fraud sites: gold-scheideanstalt-testsieger.de, goldhandel-testsieger-shop.de, goldscheideanstalt-test-sieger.de, gold-handel-sofort.de, goldhandel-kundencenter24.de, goldhandel -kaufen.de, goldhandel-punkt.de, goldbank-münchen.de, mein-goldhandel.de, goldhandel-s-1972.de, goldhandel-service.de, goldhandel-gold-silber.de, goldhandel-heutiger-kurs .de, gold-handel-24.de, goldhandel-fair.de, goldhandel-preisliste.de, goldhandel-kurs.de, goldhandel-tageskurs.de, goldhandel-on-kaufen.de, goldscheideanstalt-testsieger.de, goldhandel -gmbh.de, goldhandel-o-kaufen.de, goldhandel-pacht.de, goldhandel-welt.de, goldhandel-heute.de, goldhandel-und-beratung.de, goldhandel-testsieger-2021.de, goldhandel-testsieger -seit1972.de, goldhandel-seit-1981.de, goldhandel-kundenfreund.de, goldhandel-clever-kaufen.de, gold-barren-muenzen.de, goldhandel-beratung-kauf.de, goldhandel-imperium.de, goldhandel -markt.de, goldhandel-zertigung.de, goldhandel-depot.de, goldhandel-kauf-hier.de, goldscheideanstalt-de-shop.de, goldhandel-team.de, goldhandel-testhandel.de, goldhandel-sparen.de , goldhandel-preissieger.de, goldhandel-testsieger.de, goldscheideanstalt-aus-leidenschaft.de, goldscheideanstalt-wert.de, goldscheideanstalt-in-takt.de, goldscheideanstalt-kontor.de, gold-scheideanstalt-kontor.de, goldhandel -seit1986.de, goldscheideanstalt-seit1979.de, goldscheideanstalt-seit1962.de and goldhandel-kontor.de.
At the same time, we distance ourselves from these websites because they misuse our company data. Criminal charges have already been filed. ( Source )
The fake site is now offline, but the fraudsters have reacted and have already put a new website online. According to current knowledge, the successor “https://gold-scheideanstalt-testsieger.de” is probably still active.
In this context, the police advise you to be particularly careful. Further investigations continue.
Tips for more security when shopping online
- No impulse purchases: Before you put a product in the shopping cart of an online shop, you should compare the price of the product with other providers and the local retailer. Because fraudsters lure their victims with low prices.
- Find out more: Enter the name of the online shop in a search engine, this way you can find out about negative experiences from other customers and you don't have to rely on the promises of the shop operators. In many self-help forums you can also find out whether your chosen online retailer uses dubious business practices.
- Consumer advice center helps: At the consumer advice center you can find information about known dubious online retailers.
- Choose secure payment methods: Purchasing on account can protect against fraud by fake shops. However, transfers that have been made can only be reversed at short notice. With direct debit, debits can be canceled after a few days. When purchasing online, do not use payment services such as Western Union or paysafecard.
- Don't shop if you're in doubt: If you're unsure, it's best not to buy from your chosen shop at all. You should only purchase the product you want from a dealer you trust.
What to do if you are a victim of internet fraud?
If you have already transferred money for your purchase, contact your bank immediately to see whether you can reverse the payment. This is usually still possible within a certain period of time. For other payment methods (e.g. cash transfer), contact the service provider immediately and have them stop the transaction.
Save all evidence of your online purchase: Whether it's a purchase contract, order confirmation or emails, keep all receipts for your purchase. Print these out.
Report it to the police: With the documents secured, you should contact the police as soon as possible and file a criminal complaint. Even if it is difficult to prosecute perpetrators because they operate from abroad, you should not be dissuaded from filing a complaint. Only then can the deletions of fake shops be pushed forward consistently.
