Fake login page with the Skrill logo, a fishing hook in the password field and a warning sign

Phishing pages copy the Skrill website to steal your login details. Scammers then use them to empty your account.

Warning signs

  • The address looks right but has a small typo.
  • The address doesn’t start with https://.
  • A pop-⁠up asks for your login right away.
  • The link came by email, messenger or social media.

Protect yourself

  • Open Skrill only through your own bookmark, never through links in emails or messages.
  • Keep your browser, system and antivirus up to date.
  • Turn on two-⁠step authentication in your Skrill account.
  • Use a separate email address for your eWallets.
  • Don’t open attachments from unknown senders.

Found a suspicious page? Don’t log in, and let us or Skrill know. More tips: protect your eWallet and email.

If you already entered your details

Act straight away. Change your Skrill password and the password of the email account linked to it, and use a different password for each. Switch on two-⁠factor login with an authenticator app so a password alone is no longer enough. Then check your recent transactions and payment details for anything you don’t recognise.

Report the fake page and any unknown transactions to Skrill support at [email protected]. As an eWO customer you can also contact us, and we will help you get through to Skrill.
