REPORT_STABLE

The domain changelly.cards impersonates a cryptocurrency exchange service, creating a deceptive environment for users. With a VirusTotal detection score of 16 out of 95, it raises significant alarms regarding its legitimacy. Scamadviser rates it with a trust score of 46 and recommends caution, indicating that it may offer high-risk cryptocurrency services among other concerns.

Registered through Porkbun LLC, the domain is relatively new at 137 days old and is associated with an IP address that has a high number of suspicious websites. Notably, Scamadviser highlights a low Tranco rank for this site and points out potential risks due to shared hosting on its server. Despite a valid SSL certificate and a safety indication from DNSFilter, these factors do not mitigate the overall risk presented by the site.

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.
