Fake-webshop statistics

The numbers below are computed live from every webshop ever checked on HasTrust. They are corpus facts, not market estimates: each figure is "of the shops checked here", with that N published. Shops get checked because a shopper doubted them, so the corpus skews suspicious — read the shares with that selection bias in mind.

These figures update continuously. For a frozen, dated edition you can quote (with embeddable charts and JSON/Markdown twins) use the monthly Fake Shop Report.
