The domain web-asterdex.com poses as a decentralized exchange, specifically targeting crypto traders with its misleading title 'Aster - The next-gen perp DEX for all traders'. The site has a VT score of 15/95, indicating a significant risk. Security tools have also identified it as suspicious due to its potential to deceive users looking for legitimate trading platforms.

It has accumulated 3 blocklist entries and is hosted on an IP address (188.114.96.3) that may be associated with other harmful activities.

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 →
