Spotting skin scams

5 min read

Fake middlemen, clone sites, API-key phishing — the common traps and how to stay safe.

We never ask for your password or API key

skin1 uses Steam sign-in only. Anyone asking for your password, mobile authenticator code, or full API key is trying to steal your inventory.

Clone domains

Always check you're on the real skin1 domain. Scammers register look-alike domains and fake Steam login pop-ups. Bookmark the real site.

Enable 2FA

Two-factor authentication on both Steam and skin1 stops the vast majority of account takeovers. We require it for selling.
