Confirmed Fake Shop
Summary
Why is this warning issued?
This warning was added because it is based on a report from Watchlist Internet. It is intended to protect other users from this scam. The assessed risk is high.
How the scam works
- The shop advertises with attractive design and seemingly unbeatable low prices to tempt you to buy quickly
- You select a product and add it to your cart
- At checkout, secure payment methods are advertised, but in reality only advance payment (bank transfer) or Bitcoin is accepted
- You pay in advance expecting to receive the goods soon
- The goods do not arrive, are completely wrong, or are cheap counterfeits
- In the worst case, the shop only serves to collect and resell your personal data
How to recognise it
- The domain kb-bedachung.de is on the Watchlist Internet's list of confirmed fake shops
- Missing or incorrect imprint – often stolen or entirely absent in fake shops
- Unrealistically low prices that are well below those of reputable providers
- Limited payment methods: Only advance payment or Bitcoin is accepted; secure methods such as invoice or direct debit are missing
- Good design, but often copied together from reputable shops to feign professionalism
- Possible goal: in addition to money, the harvesting of your personal data
- Confirmed by Watchlist Internet as a fake shop
- Advance payment only as the payment method
How to protect yourself
- Before any purchase, check whether the shop is on Watchlist Internet's fake shop list
- Search the internet for the shop name plus terms such as "problem" or "fraud" to find user reports
- Look for a complete imprint and compare prices with reputable providers
- Do not order if only advance payment or Bitcoin are offered as payment methods
- If you have already paid: contact your credit card company immediately and ask about a refund (goodwill solution)
- If you paid via PayPal, try to use PayPal buyer protection
What you should never do
- Do not pay in advance if no other payment method is offered
- Do not transfer money to a foreign account or in cryptocurrencies if you do not know the recipient
- Do not ignore missing or incomplete imprint details – they are a clear warning sign
- Do not delete confirmation emails or bank statements – you will need them as evidence
- Do not simply pay in order to "save" the supposed order – this only increases your loss
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to pay if I ordered from kb-bedachung.de?
No. If you have not yet paid, do not place any further orders and do not transfer any money. If the domain is listed as a fake shop, the probability is very high that you will not receive genuine goods.
I have already paid by advance payment – what can I do?
Contact your bank or credit card company immediately and ask for a chargeback. For PayPal payments, you can use buyer protection. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee of a refund, but a goodwill solution may be possible.
How did the fraudsters get my data?
This usually cannot be determined precisely. Data breaches, stolen address databases, or random details in orders are common causes. Your data may also come from older data breaches.
What exactly is advance fee fraud?
You are supposed to pay in advance (e.g., by bank transfer) without being able to inspect the goods first. After the payment, the shop does not deliver, or the promised performance does not materialize at all.
Should I report the fake shop?
Yes. You can report the shop via the Watchlist Internet reporting form. In addition, it is advisable to report the incident to the consumer protection agency and file a criminal complaint with the police.
