recognitioy.com is a German-language webshop that Austria's Watchlist Internet lists as a fraudulent shop, built on a storefront platform used by a known fake-shop network.
Recognitioy sells general goods — car accessories, electronics, cosmetics, household items, clothing, tools — in German with EUR prices and a worldwide-shipping banner, on a domain registered only 165 days ago. Two independent German-language consumer-protection sources treat it as a fake shop: Watchlist Internet lists it as a fraudulent online shop checked on 15.09.2026, and Hinweishelden published a user report from 17 September 2026. The storefront itself loads esashop.top, a platform associated with a known fake-shop network. Clean Safe Browsing and a valid certificate do not offset a documented non-delivery pattern, so the score sits in the Dangerous band.

- Dangerous1–20
- High Risk21–44
- Moderate Risk45–69
- Low Risk70–84
- Safe85–100
The score combines saved evidence strength and analysis quality. Coverage is reported separately.
Why 15/100
Dangerous covers scores 1–20. 6 findings pulled the score down; 3 pushed it up.
Score ceiling 15: Safety Score limited to 15 (Dangerous): the store runs on esashop.top, the storefront platform of a known fake-shop network on which MalwareTips has documented hundreds of fake stores. (Our analysis had scored it 18.)
What pulled the score down
- StrongThe store runs on esashop.top, a storefront platform used by a known fake-shop network, on a 165-day-old domain.
- Strong1 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.
- Moderate2 independent sources carry complaints or warnings about this site, including: "Vorsicht vor diesem betrügerischen Online-Shop! recognitioy.com überprüft und eingetragen am 15.09.2026"
- Moderate2 independent sources carry complaints or warnings about this site, including: "Ein Nutzer oder eine Nutzerin hat uns am 17. September 2026 gemeldet, dass recognitioy.com ein Fake Shop ist."
- ModerateThe return policy says the warehouse address is not published and must be requested by email.
- MinorNo phone number is listed on the captured pages.
What pushed the score up
- SupportsAn independent site-rating service's returned summary gives a trust score of 77 and calls the site probably not a scam, while noting low traffic and a very young domain.
- SupportsThe browser threat feed returned no threat warning and the TLS check found a valid encrypted connection.
- SupportsThe site publishes a contact email on its own domain and a postal address, and keeps About, Terms, Return and Shipping pages.
No points per finding are stored for this report: our analysis weighed all findings together to set the score. Each finding shows its saved severity instead (Decisive, Strong, Moderate or Minor).
Lost money or shared details on recognitioy.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 recognitioy.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
Alibaba Cloud Computing Ltd. d/b/a HiChina (www.net.cn) takes abuse reports at domainabuse@service.aliyun.com (+86.95187). 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
Recognitioy sells general goods — car accessories, electronics, cosmetics, household items, clothing, tools — in German with EUR prices and a worldwide-shipping banner, on a domain registered only 165 days ago. Two independent German-language consumer-protection sources treat it as a fake shop: Watchlist Internet lists it as a fraudulent online shop checked on 15.09.2026, and Hinweishelden published a user report from 17 September 2026. The storefront itself loads esashop.top, a platform associated with a known fake-shop network. Clean Safe Browsing and a valid certificate do not offset a documented non-delivery pattern, so the score sits in the Dangerous band.
Two consumer-protection sources call it a fake shop
Watchlist Internet, an Austrian consumer-protection project, carries an entry headed as a warning about this fraudulent online shop, checked and entered on 15.09.2026. Its description states that anyone ordering here receives, despite paying, either no goods at all or completely wrong goods.
Hinweishelden, a German reporting portal, published a report from 17 September 2026 in which a user reported recognitioy.com as a fake shop, and it warns that anyone paying here risks receiving no goods or a defective counterpart.
The storefront is built on esashop.top, a storefront platform used by a known fake-shop network, on a domain that is only 165 days old. The domain was registered through Alibaba Cloud (HiChina) and no operator or company registration is disclosed on the captured pages.
Clean connection checks, but a saved phishing verdict and no phone contact
The browser threat feed returned no threat warning and the saved TLS check found a valid encrypted connection, so nothing in the browser session suggested malware, popups or forced downloads. The hosting IP also carries an abuse confidence score of 0/100 across 0 saved reports.
A saved antivirus observation, however, records an adverse result from one independent antivirus family, naming BitDefender, G-Data and alphaMountain.ai. That observation is stale rather than a fresh submission, so the timing should be confirmed, but it is consistent with the phishing-style classification the consumer-protection sources give the shop.
The site does publish a contact email on its own domain and a postal address, and it keeps About, Terms, Return and Shipping pages. No phone number is listed on the captured pages, and the return policy says the warehouse address is not made public — customers must email to get return instructions, which makes returns dependent on the operator's cooperation.
Why the score is 15
Safety Score limited to 15 (Dangerous): the store runs on esashop.top, the storefront platform of a known fake-shop network on which MalwareTips has documented hundreds of fake stores.

Observed behavior
Evidence behind this classification
What this means for you
What happens if you order
A visitor browses the German-language catalogue, adds goods to the basket and pays; according to Watchlist Internet's entry, the result is either no delivery at all or completely wrong goods despite the payment.
How the observed mechanism works
The evidence-backed path
Each stage below is preserved from the grounded analysis and linked to saved evidence.
The site's own commercial flow is a discount-driven retail funnel — volume discounts of 8% for two items, 15% for three and 20% for four, plus price-band navigation — and the only commercial link captured in the page graph is a same-site order-tracking page, so no cross-domain checkout destination was observed in the captured graph.
If something goes wrong, the return route runs through an email request for a warehouse address the shop does not publish, and there is no phone number on the captured pages to escalate to.
Do not order from recognitioy.com. Two independent consumer-protection sources list it as a fake shop and describe buyers paying without receiving the goods, and the storefront runs on a platform used by a known fake-shop network. If you have already paid, contact your bank or card issuer about a chargeback and report the shop to Watchlist Internet or your national consumer authority.
Risk pattern correlation

08 · Final Verdict
Final verdict
recognitioy.com is a German-language webshop that Austria's Watchlist Internet lists as a fraudulent shop, built on a storefront platform used by a known fake-shop network.
Recognitioy sells general goods — car accessories, electronics, cosmetics, household items, clothing, tools — in German with EUR prices and a worldwide-shipping banner, on a domain registered only 165 days ago. Two independent German-language consumer-protection sources treat it as a fake shop: Watchlist Internet lists it as a fraudulent online shop checked on 15.09.2026, and Hinweishelden published a user report from 17 September 2026. The storefront itself loads esashop.top, a platform associated with a known fake-shop network. Clean Safe Browsing and a valid certificate do not offset a documented non-delivery pattern, so the score sits in the Dangerous band.
