01/2020 – hörbert manufacturer warns of fake shops on the internet

03/02/2020 – Update:

Attention, new fake shops! The platforms thickness.bestanseller.com and yearly.latestontrends.com

are not contract partners. The felt bag sewing kit for hörbert is offered there at an inflated price.

02/19/2020 – Update:

Attention! The offer on the online platform rucksack.falltlike.com is also not a serious offer.

Since January 2020, there are two online shop platforms that offer, among other things, a product from Winzki GmbH & Co. KG, namely hörbert, the high-quality wooden MP3 player for children, far below market value. These platforms are:

SpieleClub.net and ToyKreisel.net

These shops are not official distribution partners of Winzki and use the image rights without permission.
They are already listed on the following Internet watchlist for fake shops:

More information on this and how you can get help or file a complaint can be found at:

We have already warned against shopping at these shops on our social media channels.
Unfortunately, more and more customers are becoming victims of fraudulent providers on the internet. Fake shops, for example, do not deliver goods despite payment, sell counterfeit brands, or are only after customers’ personal data.

– Be cautious of incomplete or “invented” imprint information.
– Be cautious if only prepayment by bank transfer or credit card is offered.
– Be cautious if payment methods such as PayPal or purchase on account are advertised, but during the purchasing process, only credit card payment is suddenly possible.
