checkfortniteskin.shop is an impersonation phishing page built to look like an Epic Games service. Its name targets Fortnite players who want to check or claim skins. PhishDestroy first detected it on 2026-09-18. On 2026-10-19 the host was still up, but the domain's DNS was inactive and the page was no longer being served.
How the scam works
Fake skin checkers promise to reveal rare cosmetics on a player's account or hand out free ones. The catch is that you must sign in with your Epic Games credentials first. Whatever you type goes to the operators, who can take over the account, its purchased items and any linked payment methods, then resell it or use it to scam the victim's friends. When captured, the page showed only the title "Loading" rather than Epic Games branding, while our classification is Epic Games impersonation phishing.
Evidence
urlscan.io rated the site malicious and matched it to the Epic Games brand. On VirusTotal, 10 of 91 engines flagged it on 2026-09-29, including alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky and LevelBlue. That is a modest share of engines, but it comes from several separate vendors. Spamhaus lists the domain in its DBL as spam, and it appears in four AlienVault OTX threat pulses, so other researchers have tracked it as well.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-08-20 through GNAME.COM PTE. LTD., 29 days before PhishDestroy caught it. That short gap fits a throwaway domain set up for one campaign. The site was hosted at 109.238.86.76 on the UFO Technologies Limited network in Great Britain. It used a free Let's Encrypt certificate, so the padlock in the browser said nothing about whether the site was legitimate.
What to do
If you signed in on this page, change your Epic Games password immediately and use a new password that you don't use anywhere else. Change it too on any site where you reused the old one. Turn on two-factor authentication in your Epic account and sign out of all other sessions. Then review your purchase history, linked payment cards and connected console or platform accounts for changes you didn't make, and report anything suspicious to Epic Games support. Defenders should block the domain and its hosting IP and warn younger players that legitimate skin checks never require a login on a third-party site.

Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations
For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
Stored relationships are grouped by the exact matching attribute. A shared provider or registrar alone does not prove common ownership.

After a phishing incident
Recommendations & Advice for Victims
Choose the steps that match what you shared. Keep a copy of this report alongside your own records.
What should I do immediately?
Urgent
Stop using the suspicious site. Open the real service through its official app or an address you already trust.
Change all passwords — email, exchange accounts, anything that shares the same password
Enable 2FA using an authenticator app (not SMS). Disable SMS-based recovery
Freeze cards if you entered banking details on the phishing site
What information should I collect for my report?
FBI guidelines
Keep original emails, receipts, messages and screenshots in a secure place. A factual timeline helps the receiving authority understand what happened. IC3 evidence guidance ↗
Payment records — if you paid, save the receipt, amount, date, payment provider and recipient details.
Exact dates & times — of each transaction and first contact with scammer
Screenshots — scam website, chat messages, emails, wallet transactions, social media
All URLs & domains used by the scammer (including checkfortniteskin.shop)
Communications — emails, texts, phone numbers, usernames the scammer used
Even if you don't have all details — file a report anyway. Partial information still helps investigations.
Where should I report the scam?
FBI IC3 — Internet Crime Complaint Center (US federal reporting)
Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
Local police — creates an official record, even if they can't act immediately
A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.
How do phishing scams typically work?
Fake websites — pixel-perfect clones of legitimate sites with slightly altered domains
Pig butchering — trust built over weeks via Telegram/WhatsApp/dating apps, then money stolen
Recovery scams — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
AI-powered scams — deepfakes, automated phishing, and AI-generated sites making fraud harder to detect
How can I protect myself in the future?
Bookmark official sites — never click links from emails, DMs, or ads
Verify domains — check on PhishDestroy before interacting. Check HTTPS, spelling, domain age
"Too good to be true" = scam — guaranteed returns, celebrity endorsements, urgent deadlines
