Fake Shop
A fake online shop: you pay but get no goods (or junk).
Warning signs: only prepayment or bank transfer, unusually low prices, missing or copied legal notice (Impressum). If you pay, nothing arrives. The seller owes the goods (Section 433 BGB); with prepayment, often only a police report plus your bank can help.
