CONTACT (verifiable indicators):\n- Do company name (imprint), domain and email domain logically match?\n- Is the listed phone number independently findable online\n  (Google, business directories)?\n- Does the phone number exist outside the website itself?\n- Does its usage fit the company timeline (registry vs. claimed history)?\n- Is a Swiss registry company named although it appears to have no own website?\n- Is a legal entity named without an independent digital footprint?\n- Is only a mobile number listed, without landline or independently findable office number?\n\n3) HISTORY &amp; PLAUSIBILITY:\n- Do claimed years of experience align with registry data,\n  domain age (WHOIS) and Wayback history?\n- Is there a multi-year, verifiable digital trace?\n- Does the site appear new but claim long-standing experience?\n\n4) PRICE &amp; LOGIC CHECK (container-specific, indicative):\n- Compare with realistic container offers in Switzerland.\n- Additional plausibility check:\n  Prices clearly below typical minimum market ranges\n  for new or used containers indicate elevated risk,\n  even without external comparison offers.\n- Especially critical:\n  \u2022 very low fixed prices for new containers,\n  \u2022 high-cube containers in rarely available sizes,\n  \u2022 used high-cube containers at unusually low prices.\n- Flat nationwide transport pricing is uncommon in container logistics.\n- Transport and crane costs depend on distance and unloading conditions.\n- Are essential logistics questions asked? If not: risk signal.\n\n5) PAYMENT &amp; FORMAL DATA:\n- Do legal name, registry data and account holder match exactly?\n- Swiss company \u2192 CH-IBAN?\n- No forced crypto, prepaid or unusual payment methods?\n- Trust badges only if externally verifiable.\n\n6) EXTERNAL FOOTPRINT:\n- Independent public reviews or profiles?\n- Internal testimonials alone are not a reliable signal.\n- Real social profiles with history or empty placeholders?\n\n7) SUMMARY \u2013 KEY RISK INDICATORS:\n\u2022 Implausible pricing or logistics assumptions\n\u2022 Inconsistent identity, contact or payment data\n\u2022 Timeline conflicts (experience vs. domain\/registry)\n\n8) RECOMMENDED ACTION:\n\u201cDo not pay until \u2026\u201d\nOR\n\u201cProceed only if the following proof is provided: \u2026\u201d (1\u20132 items)\n\nDISCLAIMER:\nIndicative assessment based on public criteria only.\nNot a factual determination. Always verify via official registers,\ncomparison quotes and verified bank details.<\/pre>\n            <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/section>\n\n      <section id=\"betrugsfallen\">\n        <h2>Typical scam patterns (brief)<\/h2>\n        <div class=\"grid cols-3\">\n          <div class=\"card\"><strong>Phishing & fake links<\/strong><p>No logins\/bank details via email links.
