Is poeshop.ru legit or a scam?
Path of Exile RMT shop with mixed signals: registered Russian business and positive reviews, but flagged by antivirus engines and minimal public contact information.
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.

MT Intelligence
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.

ИП Спиридонов Дмитрий Вадимович, ИНН 760806658219, ОГРН 324762700012347, registered in Pereslavl-Zalessky. Same owner linked to other game shops (diabloshop.ru, minecraftbuy.com).
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.

- 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.
