Awesomeskulls.com offers many different items from clothing to gadgets, all of which are decorated with images of skulls. It has consistently been among the most-searched websites on Scamadviser. Therefore, we have done an in-depth review for the benefit of our users.

Awesomeskulls uses several tools to ensure that pop-ups about sales are displayed when you view the site. This site uses apps to display sales, reviews and wish lists. These apps allow the seller to access and adjust reviews and sales. The website has an Alexa rank below 1 million, which shows that it is somewhat popular.

It is striking that this site launched 800 products in August 2020. The website uses a Goaffpro.com affiliate program that allows you to earn up to 8% on validated purchases. Everything on and around this program is a standard text that can be traced back to Goaffpro. It is interesting that we found no further information about people who did join this program, which we believe would be very likely to be found if this is working.

Payments can be done with Paypal and various debit / credit cards

 

The prices we encounter on this website seem to be in line with the market. Many articles are made in China; this can be deduced from the catalogue structure. The articles are printed with images. Image search shows that the same items with prints other than skulls are offered by different manufacturers from China. The images shows are not actual product images, but depictions of what the product is supposed to look like. Take a look at the background in the following pictures.

Social Media Profiles

Facebook - When clicking the Facebook link on the site you will be redirected to mysugarskulls.com (created 2015)

Twitter - The website takes you on Twitter to Awesome skulls store.

Contact can only be made via a form on the website and not directly with an email address. In the FAQ list, an email address is mentioned: support@awesomeskulls.com

However; on the social media channels we came across another email address, namely Mysugarskulls: support@mysugarskulls.com

Remarkably, if you click on the Facebook link on Twitter, you will be taken to a different Facebook page than the one on the website! https://www.facebook.com/awesomeskulls (created in 2016)

User Reviews

No user reviews found on Trustpilot, Site jabber, BBB.org and WebOfTrust. This is peculiar! Scamadviser reports 18 1-star reviews. The main reasons for these low rankings are:

  • No delivery at all of the purchased goods
  • Delivery is very slow; months between purchase and delivery is regularly reported
  • Goods are of low quality and not similar to the ones shown in the webshop

Conclusion

The Trust Score on Scamadvisor is 0% mainly due to the reviews. You can read more about AwesomeSkulls' Trust Score here

Our research showed that this website is not a 100% scam; some people do get their purchase delivered.

On the other hand; inferior quality of goods, long time between purchase and delivery, no delivery at all, no response on communications, strange organization and filling of the website and social media channels, questionable apps on the website are signals the cannot be ignored. All together we would strongly recommend you avoid AwesomeSkulls!

As the influence of the internet rises, so does the prevalence of online scams. There are fraudsters making all kinds of claims to trap victims online - from fake investment opportunities to online stores - and the internet allows them to operate from any part of the world with anonymity. The ability to spot online scams is an important skill to have as the virtual world is increasingly becoming a part of every facet of our lives. The below tips will help you identify the signs which can indicate that a website could be a scam. Common Sense: Too Good To Be True When looking for goods online, a great deal can be very enticing. A Gucci bag or a new iPhone for half the price? Who wouldn’t want to grab such a deal? Scammers know this too and try to take advantage of the fact. If an online deal looks too good to be true, think twice and double-check things. The easiest way to do this is to simply check out the same product at competing websites (that you trust). If the difference in prices is huge, it might be better to double-check the rest of the website. Check Out the Social Media Links Social media is a core part of ecommerce businesses these days and consumers often expect online shops to have a social media presence. Scammers know this and often insert logos of social media sites on their websites. Scratching beneath the surface often reveals this fu

How do I recover my crypto after it’s stolen? What happens if your crypto wallet is compromised? Can stolen crypto be traced, and can police actually recover crypto in 2026? These are the questions most people ask within minutes of realizing their wallet has been drained. Crypto theft is fast, quiet, and unforgiving. By the time most victims notice something is wrong, the funds are already moving across the blockchain. Once seen as a problem for exchanges and whales, crypto theft now heavily affects everyday investors. Phishing links, fake support chats, wallet approval scams, SIM swaps, and malware attacks have become common. Knowing what recovery realistically looks like—and what it doesn’t—can prevent panic, bad decisions, and costly follow-up scams. In a Nutshell Crypto recovery is possible, but only in limited situations Blockchain transactions are irreversible, but stolen crypto can still be traced Speed and documentation matter more than optimism Police and exchanges play a bigger role than private recovery services Guaranteed recovery offers are almost always scams Is it Actually Possible to Recover Stolen Crypto? Yes, crypto recovery is possible, but only under specific conditions and rarely through direct action by the victim. Blockchain transactions are final by design. Once crypto is sent and confirmed, it cannot be reversed. There is no central authority, no chargeback process, and no technical “undo” button, even if the transaction was clearly fraudulent. This is where many people ask whether stolen crypto can be traced. In most cases, it can. Every transaction
