Fake shop in a TikTok ad? Together we track it down.

48 fake shops on our warning list →

You report shops from TikTok ads. We check them, secure the evidence and report them to TikTok, payment services and consumer protection. You see our traffic-light assessment immediately.

A recording from your phone shows what the ad looked like and where it led. MP4, MOV or WebM, up to 4 GB. The recording may show personal content, such as notifications. It is used only internally for the check.

How it works

  1. You report

    The address from the ad and the TikTok account. Every report counts, even if others have already reported the shop.

  2. We check

    We secure the shop and examine it: legal notice, prices, domain, payment route. You see the traffic light right away.

  3. We report

    Confirmed shops go on the warning list and to TikTok, PayPal, the registrar and consumer protection.
