Consumer advice centers warn about fake shops and payment traps - how to protect yourself when shopping online. 82 percent of 16 to 74 year olds in Germany will have shopped online at least once in 2023.
Fake online shops, so-called fake shops, attract customers with seductively low prices for high-quality products. So far, 1.48 million websites have been checked in this way and 56,500 shops have been identified. An online shop has even filed a lawsuit against a fake shop.
