LIS-SKINS.GG is a fake site with no connection to LIS-SKINS. It copies the look of our website, but you cannot actually sell skins there: users lose both their items and their money. LIS-SKINS has only one official address, https://lis-skins.com/, and any lookalike domain belongs to scammers.

How the Scheme Worked

In 2020 we repeatedly received messages from users about problems receiving payment. It turned out they had been hit by another site that looks like ours but has nothing to do with it.

The fake site imitates the LIS-SKINS design. Once a user hands over skins and enters bank card details or a phone number for the payout, a script swaps several digits in the payment details. The money never arrives, and the skins stay with the scammers.

The site was promoted through Google ads, so users looking to sell skins landed on it by clicking ads. We filed a complaint with Google about it. Similar copies can appear on other domains too, so the rules below always apply.

How to Avoid Fake Sites

  • Before signing in through Steam or entering card details, check the browser address bar: it must read https://lis-skins.com/.

  • Bookmark lis-skins.com and open the site from there, not through search ads.

  • Sign in through Steam only on Steam's own page: a genuine sign-in always opens on steamcommunity.com.

  • Never share your Steam API key with anyone; that is how the Steam API scam hijacks trades.

  • Check every trade offer in the Steam mobile app before you confirm it.

More ways to secure your account are in our guide on how to protect your inventory from scammers. If you have already sent items in a fake trade, it helps to know how Steam Trade Protection works: a CS2 trade can be reversed within 7 days.
