Overall Summary
Safe
  Why we think so? 

Flinkster (flinkster.de) is the Deutsche Bahn–linked carsharing service operating in Germany. The site shows normal traffic (~19k monthly visits), German-focused users, public contact emails and active social profiles. Technical signals are standard (HTTPS, Amazon hosting, Bunny CDN, VueJS) and no blacklists or Safe Browsing threats were detected. Overall this looks like a legitimate service — not a scam — but WHOIS/registrant fields are sparse, so exercise routine caution with account credentials and payments.

Risk Insights

✅

Published support emails and social channels

  • support@flinkster.de and info@flinkster.de appear on multiple official pages
  • Active social links (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube) increase traceability
  • Use these channels to verify unusual invoices or account messages
⚠️

WHOIS visibility gap

  • WHOIS feed lacked registrant and date fields in the returned snapshot
  • DNS records and SPF exist, but missing WHOIS metadata reduces provenance confidence
  • Treat domain provenance as slightly weaker until registrant details are retrievable

Contradictory Signals

Operational signals (traffic, tech stack, social links) point to legitimacy, while missing WHOIS metadata slightly lowers traceability.

Signal A: High traffic and published contacts suggest a real, operational business

Signal B: WHOIS lacks registrant/date details which reduces provenance confidence

Category Scores

Red Flags & Warnings

  • WHOIS record returns minimal registrant metadata and no clear creation/expiry dates, limiting provenance checks.

🔎 Detailed Checks & Analysis

Domain & WHOIS

Score: 70/100
Failed

"WHOIS/DNS output shows name servers (ns-c.eurodns.eu / ns-d.eurodns.biz) and valid DNS records (A/AAAA/MX/TXT) but the registrant and date fields were empty in the returned WHOIS snapshot, so domain-age verification is limited."

Reason: WHOIS data in the feed is incomplete: registrant and creation/expiration dates are missing which weakens provenance checks.

Site infrastructure & security

Score: 85/100
Passed

"SimilarTech detected HTTPS, Amazon hosting (Frankfurt), Bunny CDN, nginx and other modern tooling (VueJS). TLS details were not returned in the snippet, but HTTPS presence is confirmed."

Reason: Site uses HTTPS, AWS hosting and a CDN; common, reputable stack for production sites.

Traffic & engagement

Score: 82/100
Passed

"SimilarWeb reports ~19,345 visits (Sep 2025) with ~100% traffic from Germany, ~4 pages per visit and average time-on-site ~155s — consistent with an operational user-facing service."

Reason: Monthly visits (~19k) and high Germany share match a real national service rather than a low-traffic scam landing page.

Contact details & social proof

Score: 92/100
Passed

"Scraper found support@flinkster.de and info@flinkster.de on official pages and listed Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube profiles, which increases accountability and routing for support."

Reason: Multiple public contact emails and social channels are published directly on the site.

Blacklist & malware checks

Score: 95/100
Passed

"Google Safe Browsing returned no matched threats; crypto-scam sniffer indicated the domain is not blacklisted."

Reason: No matches in Google Safe Browsing and crypto scam blacklists.

Trademark / impersonation risk

Score: 88/100
Passed

"USPTO query returned zero results for the given term; this does not replace a full global trademark clearance but indicates no obvious U.S. trademark clash in the checker results."

Reason: No USPTO trademark conflicts were found for 'flinkster.de' in the provided search.

Your Next Steps

  • 1

    If you plan to book, use the official website or official mobile app and pay via the site’s listed payment providers rather than following unsolicited links.

  • 2

    Verify account emails (support@flinkster.de / info@flinkster.de) by checking message headers if you receive suspicious invoices or password-reset requests.

  • 3

    Before entering payment details, confirm the page URL uses HTTPS and a flinkster.de domain; do not provide card data on third‑party mirrors.

  • 4

    Keep an eye on billing statements for unexpected charges and contact the listed support channels (site contact pages or the Bahn help numbers) for disputes.

  • 5

    Report suspected phishing or impersonation (e.g., fake emails claiming refunds) to Flinkster support and to your email provider.
