Verdict

Brand-impersonation storefront: esskateboards.com mimics éS Skateboarding on a 29-day-old domain

This site presents itself as the official éS Skateboarding store, using the brand's logo and shop layout, but it runs on esskateboards.com rather than the brand's established domain esskateboarding.com. The domain is only 29 days old, the site lists no phone number or postal address, and its only contact email uses the legitimate brand's domain rather than its own. One antivirus engine has flagged the domain as malicious. The combination of a fresh look-alike domain, copied branding, and no verifiable operator identity makes this a high-risk impersonation storefront.

Do not enter payment or personal details on esskateboards.com. If you want éS Skateboarding products, go directly to the brand's official site at esskateboarding.com and buy there.

01 · Investigation Brief

Investigation Brief

This site presents itself as the official éS Skateboarding store, using the brand's logo and shop layout, but it runs on esskateboards.com rather than the brand's established domain esskateboarding.com. The domain is only 29 days old, the site lists no phone number or postal address, and its only contact email uses the legitimate brand's domain rather than its own. One antivirus engine has flagged the domain as malicious. The combination of a fresh look-alike domain, copied branding, and no verifiable operator identity makes this a high-risk impersonation storefront.

Look-alike domain and copied branding

The site uses the éS Skateboarding logo and visual style, and its pages carry 'Shop Now', 'Shop All', 'Shop The Drop' and a cart, so it reads as the brand's own store. The real éS Skateboarding official site is at esskateboarding.com, a different domain. The storefront here sits on esskateboards.com, a registrable domain that is only 29 days old.

No verifiable operator behind the checkout

The captured page lists no phone number and no postal address, and no contact email uses the site's own domain. The only off-domain email domain observed is esskateboarding.com, which belongs to the legitimate brand rather than to this storefront. A shopper therefore has no independent way to identify or reach the party that would take payment and ship goods.

Clean transport checks do not offset the impersonation risk

The browser threat feed returned no threat warning and the saved TLS check found a valid encrypted connection, so the connection itself is not the problem. However, one independent antivirus family, Bfore.Ai PreCrime, reported an adverse result on the domain. The saved detection is partial and stale, so it should be confirmed, but it adds to the impersonation picture rather than being cancelled by the clean transport checks.

Why the score is 28

The site operates on esskateboards.com while the official éS Skateboarding site is esskateboarding.com. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

06 · Your Next Move

Your next move

Proceed with caution

Our automated review flagged enough risk that you should treat this site as unverified.

  1. Analyst recommendation

    Do not enter payment or personal details on esskateboards.com. If you want éS Skateboarding products, go directly to the brand's official site at esskateboarding.com and buy there.

  2. Treat esskateboards.com as unverified

    Do not enter credentials or send money until you have independently verified the business.

  3. Verify the business through independent channels

    Check the company's social profiles, registry records, and search for recent news or reviews that are not hosted on the site itself.

  4. Never use irreversible payment methods

    Crypto, gift cards, wire transfers, and cash apps offer zero buyer protection. Use a credit card or PayPal if you must pay.

  5. Share your experience

    If you have additional context, drop a comment below or post on the MalwareTips forum.

Safer Alternatives

Trying to shop safely? Use a safe option instead

Shopping for a deal? Stick to established retailers with real buyer protection — if a price looks too good to be true on an unknown store, it usually is.

  1. Amazon

    A-to-z Guarantee covers eligible orders.

  2. eBay

    Money Back Guarantee on most purchases.

  3. Walmart

    Major retailer with established returns.

  4. The brand's official site

    Search the brand name + "official site" rather than trusting an ad or unknown store.

Suggestions for safety only — not endorsements. Always verify the address bar before signing in or paying, even on well-known sites.

07 · Safety FAQ

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers reflect the saved verdict and evidence in this report.

Is esskateboards.com a scam or a legit online store?
esskateboards.com shows strong warning signs of being a fake shop — we recommend against paying or entering card details. Our review tagged it for fake shop and clone site. 1 of 93 security engines flag it (1 as outright malicious). The domain is only 29 days old through TuringSign Inc. d/b/a Cosmotown — a fresh registration is a classic scam fingerprint. It may not be an outright scam, but the risk is high enough that you should verify it independently before trusting it with money or data.
Is esskateboards.com safe to use?
esskateboards.com has a Safety Score of 28/100 (High Risk). Analysis coverage is strong at 83%. Avoid login, payment and downloads.
What should I do if I already gave my details to esskateboards.com?
If you've already paid or handed over details on esskateboards.com, act quickly. 1) Contact your bank or card issuer immediately and ask to dispute the charge or open a chargeback — the sooner you act, the better your odds. 2) Report the site to the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov or the FBI's IC3 at ic3.gov, and in the UK to Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. 3) If you entered a password, change it on esskateboards.com and anywhere you reused it, and turn on two-factor authentication. 4) Watch your bank and email for follow-up fraud, and keep screenshots as evidence.
Can I get my money back from esskateboards.com?
Often yes, if you act fast. Payments made by credit or debit card can frequently be reversed through a chargeback or dispute — contact your bank right away and explain it was a fraudulent site. Bank transfers and gift-card or voucher payments are much harder to recover, but you should still report them to your bank and to the FTC (reportfraud.ftc.gov) or Action Fraud (actionfraud.police.uk). Avoid any "refund" or "recovery" service that contacts you first — it's usually a follow-up scam.
I ordered from esskateboards.com but nothing arrived — is it a fake shop?
That's the classic pattern of a fake or non-delivery shop. These sites take payment for products that never ship, or send cheap counterfeits, then go quiet and eventually disappear. If you paid by card, contact your bank about a chargeback for "goods not received." Keep your order confirmation and any messages, don't pay extra "customs" or "release" fees they may demand, and report the store so others are warned.
How do I report esskateboards.com?
You can report esskateboards.com through several official channels: the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at ic3.gov, and — in the UK — Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. You can also flag it to Google Safe Browsing (safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish) so other browsers warn about it, and report it to the company being impersonated if there is one. Reporting helps get scam sites taken down faster.
Why does esskateboards.com look legitimate if it's a scam?
Modern scams are built to look convincing. A valid SSL padlock, a polished template, stock photos, fake reviews, and a trust badge can all be added in minutes and prove nothing about who runs the site. Scammers buy cheap domains, clone real designs, and copy legal pages wholesale. That's exactly why an automated review that checks the domain's age, hosting, blacklists, and behaviour — rather than just how the page looks — is more reliable than a first impression.
Has esskateboards.com been flagged by antivirus engines?
Yes. 1 of 93 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged esskateboards.com, 1 of them as outright malicious in the saved analysis from October 10, 2026. None of these detections came from the engines we treat as highest-confidence, so they are weighed alongside the other checks rather than on their own.
Is esskateboards.com on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — esskateboards.com is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.
How old is the esskateboards.com domain?
esskateboards.com is 29 days old, registered on September 25, 2026 through TuringSign Inc. d/b/a Cosmotown. Scam sites are very often freshly registered and short-lived, so an age under six months is a reason for extra caution.
Does esskateboards.com have a valid SSL certificate?
Yes — esskateboards.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YE1, valid for another 88 days. Important caveat: SSL only encrypts the connection between you and the site — it does not verify who runs it. Almost all scam sites now have valid SSL too, so a padlock alone never means "safe".
How often is the esskateboards.com report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on October 24, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about esskateboards.com has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.

Conclusion

This site presents itself as the official éS Skateboarding store, using the brand's logo and shop layout, but it runs on esskateboards.com rather than the brand's established domain esskateboarding.com. The domain is only 29 days old, the site lists no phone number or postal address, and its only contact email uses the legitimate brand's domain rather than its own. One antivirus engine has flagged the domain as malicious. The combination of a fresh look-alike domain, copied branding, and no verifiable operator identity makes this a high-risk impersonation storefront.
