fortnite-give.cfd is an impersonation phishing page that trades on the Fortnite name and Epic Games branding. The giveaway-style domain targets Fortnite players, often younger ones, who are hunting for free in-game rewards. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-09-19. As of 2026-10-19 the domain was still listed as live, but its DNS no longer resolved to the phishing content.
How the scam works
Fake Fortnite giveaway sites promise free V-Bucks, skins or battle passes. To claim them, the player is asked to sign in with Epic Games credentials or hand over account details. Those credentials let the operator take over the account, along with its purchased skins, saved payment methods and any linked console or social logins. The page served only the title "Loading", a generic placeholder that does not show the brand itself. The Epic Games impersonation was identified from the rendered page.
Evidence
On 2026-09-30, 10 of 91 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain. They include BitDefender, ESET, Fortinet, G-Data, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, alphaMountain.ai and Bfore.Ai PreCrime. That is modest coverage, but it comes from several unrelated vendors. urlscan.io returned a malicious verdict and specifically matched the epicgames brand. Spamhaus lists the domain in its DBL as spam, and it appears in 4 AlienVault OTX threat pulses alongside the PhishDestroy blocklist.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through Spaceship, Inc. on 2026-09-07, just 12 days before PhishDestroy caught it. That short gap is typical of throwaway giveaway domains on cheap TLDs like .cfd. It was hosted at 46.29.26.38 on the M/S ROBI TRADERS network in Turkey. A free Let's Encrypt certificate gave it a padlock, which says nothing about whether the site is legitimate.
What to do
If you entered your Epic Games login here, change that password right away from the official Epic Games site. Also change it anywhere else you reused it. Turn on two-factor authentication, then review your account's active sessions, linked platforms and purchase history. If you saved a payment card on the account and see unfamiliar charges, contact your bank and Epic Games support. Remember that Epic never gives away V-Bucks through third-party sites. Defenders should block the domain and IP 46.29.26.38 and watch for lookalike Fortnite giveaway domains on low-cost TLDs.
The linked repository preserves daily zone observations across seven ShortDot-operated TLDs, including registration volume and abuse-related indicators. This registry context is supporting background and is not an independent detection for the domain in this report.
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.
Saved certificate metadata. Certificate dates without a timezone are shown as stored. Transport encryption does not establish that the site is trustworthy.

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.
Keep original emails, receipts, messages and screenshots in a secure place. A factual timeline helps the receiving authority understand what happened. IC3 evidence guidance ↗
