If you find out about your business partner, you can quickly see whether there is a possible fraud behind an online shop:

Realistic prices:
Offers that are too good to be true should make you wonder. Prices that are significantly lower than those of other merchants can be a sign of fraud. Do not rely on a professional-looking website - even fake shops can look very reputable.
Internet research:
Check the shop via a search engine. If you don't find any results, reviews or experience reports, be sceptical.
Imprint:
A missing or incomplete imprint can be a reference to a fake shop.
