Domain Due Diligence
Report for Sonnenpelze.de

Report Date October 6, 2025
Recommendation
Caution
Overall Summary
Suspicious
Why we think so

Quick scan finds a low-visibility site with almost no traffic, incomplete WHOIS data, and mixed contact signals. SimilarWeb reports zero visits and the site’s DNS/MX records and a google-site-verification TXT record indicate someone controls the domain. There are no Google Safe Browsing hits, no USPTO trademarks, and no news or consumer complaints specifically about this domain. However, lookalike domains with scam reports exist, and the public contact info scraped appears inconsistent with the claimed brand. Verdict: ⚠️ Suspicious — exercise caution and verify before transacting.

Risk Insights

🛡️

Low traffic and weak WHOIS make verification hard

SimilarWeb shows zero visits for multiple recent months.
WHOIS lacks registrar and creation dates, limiting traceability.
Ask for a business registration number or independent reviews before buying.
✅

No active malware/phishing signals

Google Safe Browsing and crypto blacklist checks returned clean.
Technical cleanliness lowers immediate danger but doesn't confirm legitimacy.

Contradictory Signals

Technical checks show no malware, but the site has little publicly verifiable identity or reputation, so safety and legitimacy disagree.

Signal A: No Safe Browsing or blacklist hits (clean)

Signal B: Missing WHOIS and near-zero traffic (suspicious)

Red Flags & Warnings

  • Missing WHOIS registration details (no registrar or dates) — reduces accountability.
  • Zero traffic in SimilarWeb estimates — no measurable customer activity or reputation signals.
  • Contact info looks inconsistent (phone from a Yelp listing; social links not clearly tied to the brand).
  • Presence of similarly named domains with scam reports increases lookalike/typo-squat risk.

🔎 Detailed Checks & Analysis

WHOIS presence & domain age

Score: 20/100
Failed

"Absence of registrar and date information reduces traceability; while DNS exists, the missing WHOIS metadata is a notable gap."

Reason: WHOIS fields such as registrar and creation/expiration dates are missing from the record returned.

Traffic & engagement (SimilarWeb)

Score: 18/100
Failed

"Low or no traffic means few public signals (reviews, mentions) to validate legitimacy; new or private sites can also show low traffic, so interpret cautiously."

Reason: SimilarWeb reports zero estimated visits in recent months, indicating negligible traffic.

Contact details & on-site ownership signals

Score: 30/100
Failed

"Inconsistent contact information is a red flag for marketplaces or listings that reuse generic contact details; request official business registration or VAT number to verify."

Reason: Scraped contacts include a phone number tied to other listings and social profiles that don't clearly match the claimed brand.

Technical safety (Safe Browsing / blacklists)

Score: 60/100
Passed

"Technical checks show no active malware/phishing flags, which lowers immediate harm risk, but does not prove business legitimacy."

Reason: No Google Safe Browsing threats and no crypto-scam blacklist matches were found.

Trademark / brand impersonation (USPTO)

Score: 50/100
Passed

"Lack of a USPTO record doesn't preclude trademark issues in other jurisdictions; also absence of a trademark is neutral rather than strongly positive."

Reason: No USPTO trademarks found for the exact domain string.

News & public complaints

Score: 40/100
Passed

"No coverage reduces the evidence of widespread scam reports, but small scam operations can still operate without news visibility."

Reason: No news articles or consumer complaints were returned for this exact domain.

Lookalike / similarity risk

Score: 30/100
Failed

"Even if this domain is clean, visual or name similarity to flagged sites can trick consumers; verify brand identity closely."

Reason: Search results show similarly named domains with scam reports, increasing lookalike risk.

Your Next Steps

  • 1
    Avoid making purchases or sharing payment details until you verify the seller through independent channels.
  • 2
    Call the listed phone number and compare the business name and offerings; treat mismatches as a red flag.
  • 3
    Check the site’s SSL/TLS certificate in-browser and confirm the site uses HTTPS for checkout pages.
  • 4
    Search consumer-protection sites and local registries for the business name; ask for a VAT/registration number if buying from Germany.
  • 5
    If you suspect fraud, report the domain to your payment provider and to a national consumer authority (e.g., Verbraucherzentrale in Germany).
