These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

Confidence
The site operates as a real-money trading (RMT) shop for Path of Exile currency, items, and services. Our antivirus network flagged it as malicious (ADMINUSLabs) and phishing (Fortinet), which is a significant concern. However, the operator—Spiridonov Dmitry Vadimovich—is registered with Russian tax authorities (INN 760806658219, OGRN 324762700012347) and operates other established game shops (diabloshop.ru, minecraftbuy.com). Customer reviews on VK describe fast delivery and good service quality. No scam complaints, ban warnings, or negative reports appear in public databases or forums. The antivirus flags may reflect the nature of RMT services (which operate in a grey zone relative to game terms of service) rather than outright fraud. The absence of a direct contact email on the homepage and lack of independent trust-site profiles add friction but are not uncommon for Russian-market shops. The conflicting signals—legitimate business registration and positive user feedback versus antivirus detections—place this in the suspicious category rather than clearly malicious or safe.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The site presents itself as a Path of Exile 1 & 2 currency and item marketplace. It advertises 2–15 minute delivery, a 100% refund guarantee, 24/7 support via Telegram and VK, and claims 7+ years of operation with 50,000+ successful orders since 2018. The page includes links to VK and Telegram but no direct email or phone number in the footer.

Infrastructure

The domain uses a valid SSL certificate (Let's Encrypt, 68 days to expiry). The hosting IP (188.120.253.247) has zero abuse reports and a clean reputation score. The site loads external resources from VK photo CDN, Yandex analytics, Telegram, and the official Path of Exile CDN (web.poecdn.com), all legitimate. No redirects or homoglyph tricks detected.

Domain History

WHOIS data is unavailable, so registration age cannot be confirmed independently. The site claims operation since 2018. The operator is registered as an individual entrepreneur (ИП) in Pereslavl-Zalessky, Yaroslavl region, Russia, with active tax registration. The same owner operates diabloshop.ru and minecraftbuy.com, suggesting a portfolio of game-shop businesses.

Web Reputation

Two antivirus engines flag the domain: ADMINUSLabs (malicious) and Fortinet (phishing). Browser blocklists are clean. No scam reports, complaints, or ban warnings appear in public databases. Customer reviews on VK describe positive experiences with fast delivery and professional service. No an independent review aggregator, an independent review aggregator, or similar profiles exist for this domain. The absence of independent trust-site presence is typical for Russian-market RMT shops.

Risk Factors
5
  • ADMINUSLabs and Fortinet flag the domain as malicious/phishing, indicating potential security concern or grey-market classification.
  • No direct contact email or phone number visible on the homepage; support is routed through third-party platforms (Telegram, VK).
  • RMT (real-money trading) services operate in a grey zone relative to game terms of service and carry inherent account-risk warnings.
  • WHOIS data unavailable; independent domain age cannot be verified.
  • Not indexed in global traffic rankings, suggesting limited mainstream visibility or deliberate low profile.
Positive Signals
5
  • Operator is registered with Russian tax authorities (INN and OGRN confirmed active) and operates multiple established game shops.
  • Customer reviews on VK describe fast delivery, professional service, and positive experiences.
  • No scam complaints, account-ban warnings, or negative reports found in public databases or forums.
  • Hosting IP has zero abuse reports and clean reputation.
  • SSL certificate is valid and current; external resources load from legitimate CDNs and official game servers.
AI Recommendation
Do not enter payment details or account credentials on this site without understanding the risks. RMT services operate outside official game channels and carry account-suspension risk per Path of Exile's terms of service. If you choose to use this shop, verify the operator's identity independently, use a secure payment method with buyer protection, and never share your game account password. The a

Research summary
Narrative write-up from our AI analyst, grounded on the facts above

We searched scam-report databases, consumer-review sites, and general web sources for poeshop.ru and found no scam reports, complaints, or ban warnings. The operator is registered with Russian tax authorities (ИП Спиридонов Дмитрий Вадимович, INN 760806658219, OGRN 324762700012347). Customer reviews on VK describe positive experiences with fast delivery and professional service. The absence of complaints is notable given the site's claimed 50,000+ orders since 2018, though the lack of independent trust-site profiles (an independent review aggregator, an independent review aggregator, etc.) is typical for Russian-market RMT shops and does not by itself indicate fraud.

Safety FAQ

Common questions about this site, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.

  • Our automated security review flags poeshop.ru as dangerous. Multiple threat indicators were detected — treat the site as a scam until proven otherwise.
  • No — poeshop.ru scored 1/100 on our trust scale. We detected active threat indicators, so we recommend avoiding the site entirely.
  • Yes. poeshop.ru presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · R13, expiring in 68 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • 2 out of 92 antivirus engines in our malware network flagged poeshop.ru as malicious or suspicious (2 outright malicious). Even one detection is a meaningful signal.
  • No. poeshop.ru is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • poeshop.ru resolves to an IP operated by JSC IOT in RU (usage type: Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.
  • This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 16, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around poeshop.ru have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.

Final Verdict·poeshop.ru
DANGEROUS

A Russian Path of Exile currency and item shop claiming 7+ years of operation and 50,000+ orders. Two antivirus engines flag it as malicious/phishing, but the operator is registered with Russian tax authorities, customer reviews on VK are positive, and no scam complaints appear in public records. The AV detections and lack of transparent contact details create uncertainty.

Do not enter payment details or account credentials on this site without understanding the risks. RMT services operate outside official game channels and carry account-suspension risk per Path of Exile's terms of service. If you choose to use this shop, verify the operator's identity independently, use a secure payment method with buyer protection, and never share your game account password. The a
