Vlc.de operates a fraudulent e-commerce platform designed to extract customer payments and sensitive personal information through deceptive shopping schemes.

Threat actors promote the platform through spam campaigns and social media manipulation on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, utilizing artificially low prices and stolen product imagery to attract victims to the fraudulent marketplace.

After payment processing, victims typically experience one of the following outcomes:

  1. Order abandonment: Payments are processed but no products are delivered
  2. Counterfeit merchandise: Low-quality replicas that do not match product descriptions
  3. Used or damaged goods: Previously owned, broken, or tampered items
  4. Incorrect products: Completely different items from those ordered

Beyond fraudulent merchandise, Vlc.de harvests customer data during checkout including full names, addresses, phone numbers, and payment card details. This information is likely utilized for identity theft, financial fraud, or sale on dark web marketplaces.
