PhishDestroy identifies wel-x-ldger-start[.]pages[.]dev as a suspected cryptocurrency wallet drainer impersonating Ledger hardware wallets. The domain is configured to deploy a credential-theft and asset-draining kit targeting users of Ledger’s ecosystem via phishing lures (seed c61eb0). The campaign mimics official Ledger login flows and wallet initialization pages to trick victims into entering mnemonic phrases or connecting compromised devices. Infrastructure analysis suggests automated deployment of drainer scripts hosted on Cloudflare Pages, with domains cycling rapidly to evade static blocklists. Security researchers note elevated activity in dark-web forums referencing this pattern as a service-based drainer kit available to low-skill actors.
Technical indicators confirm malicious intent: the domain resolves to IP 188.114.96.3 and was registered via Cloudflare, Inc. It employs a Google Trust Services SSL certificate but carries a VirusTotal detection score of 0/95 as of latest analysis. The domain operates under Cloudflare Pages architecture, obfuscating origin servers and hindering takedown. At time of writing, public blocklists show zero detections, indicating low defensive coverage despite known malicious behavior. WHOIS data reveals recent registration but lacks valid registrant details—typical of disposable phishing infrastructure.
This domain remains active with under_investigation status and elevated risk profile. Immediate user action is required: warn Ledger users to avoid clicking links from unsolicited emails or messages, verify URLs manually, and enable hardware wallet PIN + passphrase protections. Organizations should block 188.114.96.3 at network perimeter and subscribe to threat feeds monitoring *.pages.dev crypto drainers. Remaining risk is high due to undetected status and Cloudflare-based evasion; proactive monitoring and DNS filtering are essential to prevent asset loss. Do not trust unverified wallet-related domains even if they present SSL certificates.

Shared-IP Neighbors · CDN-hosted
IP is behind a large CDN (3,450+ co-hosted phishing domains on same edge IP)
The origin is proxied via Cloudflare or a similar content-delivery network. Edge-IP neighbors aren't meaningful — hundreds of unrelated customers share each edge node. Origin IP discovery requires passive-DNS or CT cross-reference.

Beware of recovery scammers! After being scammed, criminals may contact you again pretending to be "recovery agents," lawyers, or investigators who claim they can retrieve your lost funds — for a fee. This is a second scam. No legitimate service will ask for upfront payment to recover stolen crypto. Learn more about recovery fraud →

Recommendations & Advice for Victims
An estimated $51 billion flowed to illicit crypto wallets in 2024 (source). If you interacted with wel-x-ldger-start.pages.dev — act now.
What should I do immediately?
Urgent
- Revoke token approvals — use revoke.cash to remove access granted to malicious smart contracts
- Move remaining funds to a brand-new wallet. The compromised wallet is no longer safe
- Change all passwords — email, exchange accounts, anything that shares the same password
- Enable 2FA using an authenticator app (not SMS). Disable SMS-based recovery
- Freeze cards if you entered banking details on the phishing site
What information should I collect for my report?
FBI guidelines
According to the FBI, the most important details are transaction data:
- Cryptocurrency addresses — scammer's wallet (e.g.,
0x5856...35985) - Amount & crypto type — exact amount (e.g., 1.02345 ETH, 0.5 BTC, 500 USDT)
- Transaction ID (hash) — the unique blockchain transaction identifier
- Exact dates & times — of each transaction and first contact with scammer
- Screenshots — scam website, chat messages, emails, wallet transactions, social media
- All URLs & domains used by the scammer (including
wel-x-ldger-start.pages.dev) - Communications — emails, texts, phone numbers, usernames the scammer used
Even if you don't have all details — file a report anyway. Partial information still helps investigations.
Where should I report the scam?
- FBI IC3 — Internet Crime Complaint Center (US federal reporting)
- Europol — European cybercrime reporting (EU)
- Chainabuse — flag scam wallets across exchanges & platforms
- Your crypto exchange — contact Coinbase/Binance/Kraken support to freeze scammer's address
- Local police — creates an official record, even if they can't act immediately
The FBI recovered over $1 billion in crypto fraud in 2024 thanks to victim reports. Your report matters.
How do crypto scams typically work?
- Fake websites — pixel-perfect clones of legitimate sites with slightly altered domains
- Malicious approvals — "connect wallet" prompts that grant unlimited token spending to attackers
- Pig butchering — trust built over weeks via Telegram/WhatsApp/dating apps, then money stolen
- Recovery scams — victims targeted AGAIN by fake "recovery agents" demanding upfront fees. Always a scam
- Fake ads & airdrops — Google/social media ads and "free token" offers leading to wallet drainers
- AI-powered scams — deepfakes, automated phishing, and AI-generated sites making fraud harder to detect
How can I protect myself in the future?
- Use a hardware wallet (Ledger, Trezor). Never store large amounts in browser wallets
- Bookmark official sites — never click links from emails, DMs, or ads
- Read every approval — verify permissions before signing. Reject unlimited approvals
- Verify domains — check on PhishDestroy before interacting. Check HTTPS, spelling, domain age
- "Too good to be true" = scam — guaranteed returns, celebrity endorsements, urgent deadlines
How big is the crypto scam problem?
- $51 billion flowed to illicit crypto wallets in 2024 — CoinLedger
- Pig butchering losses grew 40% year over year, now the fastest-growing fraud type
- Only ~5% of victims report — your report helps shut down criminal networks
- FBI recovered $1B+ in 2024 thanks to victim reports — FBI.gov
