Is fanartikel-union-zeughaus.com legit or a scam?
A malicious clone of the official 1. FC Union Berlin fan shop, registered five days ago to deceive fans and harvest payment data.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

MT Intelligence
The site is a near-perfect visual copy of the official Union Zeughaus storefront but operates on a deceptive domain registered only five days ago. Our analysis confirmed it is a typosquatting attempt designed to trick users who are looking for the real club shop. Two security engines, SOCRadar and Fortinet, have already flagged the domain for phishing and spam. Furthermore, the site completely omits the 'Impressum' and legal disclosures mandatory for German commercial websites. These factors combined indicate a high-risk operation intended to steal financial information.
