Confirmed Fake Shop
Summary
Why is this warning issued?
This warning has been included because it is based on a report from Watchlist Internet. It is intended to protect other users from this scam. The assessed risk level is high.
How the scam works
- Bait offer: Low prices and professional design tempt customers into quick purchases
- Payment: Only advance payment or Bitcoin payment is accepted during the ordering process
- After payment: Either no goods are delivered, or the delivered goods do not match the advertised product
- In the worst case: The only goal is to collect personal data from buyers
- Counterfeit goods: Some fake shops send inferior counterfeits instead of the advertised original products
How to recognise it
- The domain trailer-master.eu is listed on Watchlist Internet as a confirmed fake shop
- Frequently missing or incorrect legal notice – or stolen company data from legitimate sites
- Unrealistically low prices that are far below those of legitimate retailers
- Only advance payment or Bitcoin payment is possible, even when other payment methods are advertised
- Good design and professional presentation to appear legitimate
- No legitimate reviews or customer experiences can be found online
- Confirmed as a fake shop by Watchlist Internet
- Advance payment only as the payment method
How to protect yourself
- Search for the shop name together with terms like 'problem' or 'fraud' in a search engine
- Check the legal notice – if it is missing or appears to be stolen, stay away
- Compare the prices with legitimate retailers – if they are unrealistically low, exercise caution
- Choose secure payment methods with the option of chargebacks (e.g., PayPal with buyer protection)
- If you have already ordered: Contact your credit card provider regarding a possible refund (goodwill)
- Report the fake shop to Watchlist Internet
What you should never do
- Do not agree to advance payment or Bitcoin payment if other payment methods are advertised but not accepted
- Do not fall for unrealistically low prices
- Do not send additional money if an initial payment has already been made and, for example, 'further payments' are requested
- Do not simply pay if you are unsure – check first
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to pay if I have ordered from trailer-master.eu?
If you have already placed an order but have not yet paid: Do not pay. If you have already paid, contact your credit card provider or payment service provider regarding a possible refund (goodwill).
What happens if I don't respond?
If you have not yet paid, usually nothing happens. If you have already paid and have not received any goods, your chance of a refund decreases the longer you wait. Act quickly and contact your payment service provider.
Where did they get my data?
Many fake shops aim to collect personal data. This data can later be misused for further fraud attempts. Pay attention to what data you have entered and monitor your accounts if necessary.
How can I tell if a shop is a fake shop?
Warning signs are: missing or incorrect legal notice, unrealistically low prices, only advance payment or Bitcoin payment despite advertising other payment methods, no legitimate reviews online. Check by searching for terms like 'shop name + problem' or 'shop name + fraud'.
What can I do if I have already lost money?
Contact your bank or credit card provider immediately. For PayPal payments, you can try to use buyer protection. Secure all evidence (order confirmation, payment receipts, emails). Contact the consumer protection agency and file a report with the police.
