Security Tips for R6 Marketplace Traders
R6 Marketplace provides multiple layers of protection, but your personal security habits play an equally important role. This comprehensive guide covers essential security practices every Rainbow Six Siege trader should follow to protect their account, transactions, and personal information on our platform.
Recognizing and Avoiding Scams Account
Phishing Attempts
Be vigilant about phishing attempts that impersonate the R6 Marketplace through fake emails, websites, or messages. Always verify that you are on the official R6 Marketplace domain before entering any login credentials. Our team will never ask for your password through email, chat, or any communication channel. If you receive a suspicious message claiming to be from the R6 Marketplace, report it to our security team immediately.
Too Good to Be True Offers
Exercise caution with listings that seem unusually cheap or deals that appear too good to be true on the R6 Marketplace. While great deals do exist, extremely underpriced rare Rainbow Six Siege skins may indicate a scam attempt. Compare prices with our market data tools and price tracker to verify that a listing falls within a reasonable range before committing to a purchase.
Off Platform Communication
Never agree to complete trades outside the R6 Marketplace platform, even if the other party offers a better deal or claims there is a platform issue. Our escrow system, buyer protection, and dispute resolution only apply to transactions conducted through our official platform. Moving communication to external channels like Discord, WhatsApp, or email removes all the protections we provide.
Impersonation Scams
Scammers may create accounts that mimic verified sellers or R6 Marketplace staff members. Always check seller verification badges, account creation dates, and transaction histories before engaging in trades. R6 Marketplace staff will never initiate trades with users or ask for account credentials. Report any suspicious accounts that appear to be impersonating trusted members of our community.

Trading Practices on R6 Marketplace Safe
Protecting Your Connection
Avoid Public Wi Fi for Trading
Public Wi Fi networks at cafes, airports, and hotels are often unsecured and can be monitored by malicious actors. Avoid logging into your R6 Marketplace account or conducting trades over public networks. If you must use public Wi Fi, connect through a reputable VPN service to encrypt your traffic and protect your login credentials and transaction data.
Verify Website Authenticity
Always check that you are accessing the official R6 Marketplace website by verifying the URL and looking for the secure padlock icon in your browser address bar. Bookmark the official URL to avoid accidentally visiting phishing sites. Never click on R6 Marketplace links received through unsolicited emails or messages without verifying their authenticity first.
Keep Software Updated
Regularly update your browser, operating system, and security software to protect against the latest vulnerabilities. Outdated software can contain security flaws that attackers exploit to steal login credentials and personal information. Enable automatic updates where possible to ensure you always have the latest security patches when accessing the R6 Marketplace.
Use Browser Security Features
Modern browsers include built in security features that can protect you while using the R6 Marketplace. Enable features like phishing protection, malicious site warnings, and tracking prevention. Consider using browser extensions that block malicious scripts and enhance privacy, but only install extensions from trusted sources.
Monitor for Data Breaches
Use services that monitor whether your email or personal information has appeared in known data breaches. If your R6 Marketplace email is found in a breach from another service, change your password immediately as attackers often try compromised credentials across multiple platforms. Unique passwords for each service prevent a single breach from cascading.
Secure Your Home Network
Ensure your home Wi Fi network uses WPA3 or WPA2 encryption with a strong password. Change the default router administrator password and keep your router firmware updated. A secure home network provides a safe foundation for all your R6 Marketplace trading activities and protects other devices on your network from potential threats.

Change Your Password Immediately
As soon as you suspect unauthorized access, change your R6 Marketplace account password. Choose a completely new password that you have not used anywhere else. If you cannot access your account, use the password reset feature or contact our security team at security@r6marketplace.com for emergency assistance.
Enable or Reset Two Factor Authentication
If two factor authentication was not enabled, activate it now. If it was already active and you suspect it may have been compromised, contact our security team to reset your two factor settings and set up new authentication codes through a fresh authenticator app installation.
Review Recent Account Activity
Check your R6 Marketplace transaction history, login history, and account settings for any changes you did not make. Note any unauthorized transactions, new listings, or altered account details. This information helps our security team understand the scope of the compromise and take appropriate action.
Contact R6 Marketplace Security Team
Report the suspected compromise to security@r6marketplace.com with details about what happened and any suspicious activity you identified. Our security team will investigate the incident, potentially freeze affected transactions, and work with you to fully secure your account and recover any impacted items or funds.
