Austrian consumer-protection watchlist lists baumeistermodels.com as a fraudulent shop that takes payment and ships nothing or the wrong goods
baumeistermodels.com describes itself as a scale-model and RC hobby shop, but Austria's Watchlist Internet has entered it on its list of fraudulent online shops, stating that people who order there receive either nothing at all or completely wrong goods despite paying. A security vendor separately classifies the domain as a suspicious shop with blacklist detections and phishing-related signals. The site itself could not be reviewed: every request returned HTTP 403 and the rendered capture was only a Cloudflare 'Performing security verification' page, so no products, imprint, contact or returns text was seen. That combination of a documented non-delivery report bound to this exact domain and a completely unreadable storefront places it in the High Risk band.

- Moderate2 independent sources carry complaints or warnings about this site, including: "This site is classified as Suspicious Shop based on multiple risk signals, including 3 blacklist detections, no established public user-review history, and…"
What pushed the score up
- SupportsThe browser threat feed returned no threat warning for the host.
- SupportsThe domain is 757 days old and the hosting IP has an abuse confidence score of 0/100 across 25 saved reports.

Lost money or shared details on baumeistermodels.com? Do this now
Act quickly: the first hours matter most for a chargeback.
- Call your bank or card issuer now
Ask them to dispute the charge or open a chargeback; the sooner you act, the better your odds. Card payments can often be reversed. Bank transfers and gift cards are harder, but report them to your bank too. Crypto payments usually cannot be reversed: report the wallet address and transaction ID to the exchange you sent from.
- Change any password you entered
If you entered a password on baumeistermodels.com, change it there and anywhere you reused it, and turn on two-factor authentication. Keep screenshots, order confirmations and messages as evidence.
- Report the site
Reports help get scam sites taken down faster and warn other people.
- Report the domain to its registrar
West263 International Limited takes abuse reports at abuse@hkdns.hk (0852.30697963). Include the address and what happened.
- Ignore anyone offering to recover your money
"Recovery" services or agents who contact you, or ask for a fee up front, are almost always a second scam aimed at victims. Your bank's dispute process and the official reporting services never charge a fee in advance.

01 · Investigation Brief
Investigation Brief
baumeistermodels.com describes itself as a scale-model and RC hobby shop, but Austria's Watchlist Internet has entered it on its list of fraudulent online shops, stating that people who order there receive either nothing at all or completely wrong goods despite paying. A security vendor separately classifies the domain as a suspicious shop with blacklist detections and phishing-related signals. The site itself could not be reviewed: every request returned HTTP 403 and the rendered capture was only a Cloudflare 'Performing security verification' page, so no products, imprint, contact or returns text was seen. That combination of a documented non-delivery report bound to this exact domain and a completely unreadable storefront places it in the High Risk band.
A consumer-protection body has already named this domain
Watchlist Internet, run by the Austrian Institute for Applied Telecommunications, carries an entry for baumeistermodels.com under the heading warning against this fraudulent online shop, checked and listed on 28 November 2024. The entry's substance is concrete: whoever orders here receives, despite payment, either no goods at all or entirely wrong goods.
That is a report about this exact domain, not a generic category label, and it describes the classic fake-shop outcome — money taken, nothing usable delivered. A second independent source, the security vendor Gridinsoft, classifies the site as a suspicious shop citing three blacklist detections, no established public user-review history and phishing-related signals.
The shop's own pages could not be reviewed at all
Every attempt to read the site failed with HTTP 403 — the first request, a retry identifying as the scanner, and an HTTPS attempt. The rendered capture shows only a Cloudflare interstitial headed with the domain name, a 'Performing security verification' notice and a 'Verify you are human' checkbox, with a Ray ID and Cloudflare footer confirming it is a bot-protection page rather than the store.
Because of that, no product listings, prices, imprint, company name, address, contact details, payment methods or returns policy were seen. The commercial path — product pages, cart, checkout and payment processor — remains unresolved, and no cross-domain order or affiliate link could be observed. The registration record shows the domain was created on 8 October 2024 through West263 International Limited with registrant details withheld, so the operator is not identified from the site or the registry.
Clean technical checks do not offset the merchant risk
The browser threat feed returned no threat warning, and a saved antivirus observation records adverse results from only a small number of engine families (BitDefender, G-Data, ESET) out of the full set, with the rest clean. That saved scan is stale, so it is a real but dated signal rather than a fresh check. A valid TLS certificate exists for the host, yet the scanned address was served over plain HTTP with no redirect to HTTPS, so the connection was not encrypted.
The domain is 757 days old and the hosting IP carries an abuse confidence score of 0/100 across 25 saved reports, which argues against a throwaway infrastructure setup. None of this speaks to whether a paying customer receives goods: the harm documented here is commercial, not a malware or credential-theft mechanism observed in the browser session.
Why the score is 22
1 independent antivirus family reported an adverse result. This comes from a saved antivirus observation rather than a new submission, so treat the detection as real but confirm the timing.

First appeared in WHOIS records — 2 years old when this review was saved.
- Nov 4, 2026Saved security review — Rated High Risk
The completed checks from this saved scan are detailed above.
baumeistermodels.com is an established domain now carrying threat signals. An older domain that starts tripping security checks is a classic pattern for an asset that was sold, repurposed, or compromised — the age alone is not reassurance.
Domain & Encryption
Cloudflare DNS is used by legitimate and scam sites alike, so it does not identify who runs the site.
Report this domain to its registrar: send the address and what happened to this contact.
Certificate issued for baumeistermodels.com.
A shared Cloudflare address answers for many sites, so it is not the site's own server and says nothing about who runs it.

The site refused our redirect check, so this chain may be incomplete.
