Evidence Summary

Evidence score

www.vanguardvwa.com has been identified as a high-risk crypto drainer site, specifically impersonating the brand dexscreener. The domain was registered through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited on October 16, 2025. Analysis indicates that this site was used to conduct a fake airdrop scam, which is a common tactic to lure unsuspecting users into surrendering their cryptocurrency. The page title found was 'Vanguard ($VWA) - Tokenizing Precious Assets on XRP,' which suggests an attempt to present a legitimate tokenization project to gain trust.

The domain does not have an SSL certificate, indicating a lack of secure connection and raising further suspicion. Infrastructure analysis reveals that the domain is hosted in the United States under the ASN AS13335, which is owned by Cloudflare, Inc. The nameservers used are adel.ns.cloudflare.com and rory.ns.cloudflare.com, further aligning with the Cloudflare hosting service. The site has appeared in one threat intelligence pulse on AlienVault OTX, signaling potential prior involvement in malicious activities. Additionally, the domain has been flagged by 10 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal and is listed on one security blocklist, PhishDestroy.

The Gridinsoft trust score for this domain is 0 out of 100, indicating a complete lack of trustworthiness. As of July 24, 2026, the domain is offline, but security professionals and users should remain vigilant for any reactivation. The reported drainer kit used is Angel Drainer, which is known for its effectiveness in draining cryptocurrency from victims' wallets. Defenders should block this domain and educate users on the risks of fake airdrops and the importance of verifying the authenticity of projects before engaging with them.

Recommendations & Advice for Victims

An estimated $51 billion flowed to illicit crypto wallets in 2024 (source). If you interacted with vanguardvwa.com — 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 vanguardvwa.com)
  • 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 — notify its fraud team immediately; it may be able to preserve records or restrict funds held on its platform
  • Local police — creates an official record, even if they can't act immediately

A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.

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 — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
  • 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
