The domain 176web.whatsapwacz.com impersonates WhatsApp, aiming to deceive users into providing sensitive information. With a VirusTotal score of 18/95, this domain has been identified as malicious by multiple security vendors, highlighting the potential risks involved with engaging with it.

Registered just 3 days ago with Gname.com Pte. Ltd. in Hong Kong, the domain appeared to utilize shared hosting, indicated by a single existing blocklist entry. The short lifespan and high detection rates suggest it was quickly set up for fraudulent purposes.

Currently, the domain is dead, having been taken down by PhishDestroy. Our team actively reported the domain and ensured it is blocklisted to prevent further attempts at phishing. Continuous monitoring is in place to safeguard users from any similar threats.

Evidence & External Reports

Were You Affected by This Site?

You are not alone and there is nothing to be ashamed of. Scammers are sophisticated criminals who exploit trust. Reporting your experience is the most powerful weapon against fraud — your report can prevent others from becoming victims and help law enforcement take action. Silence is the scammer's greatest advantage. Break it.

If you have interacted with this domain, entered personal information, or connected a cryptocurrency wallet — take immediate action. Below are resources to help you report the incident and protect yourself.

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 →
