zap.exchange is an impersonation phishing page that presents itself as an instant swap service under the title "Swap crypto and fiat. Instantly." It targets people who want a quick conversion between cryptocurrency and fiat money. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-09-02. On 2026-10-19 the domain was still alive and its content was reachable through a redirect, so it remains a live risk.
How the scam works
Fake swap and exchange sites rely on a promise of speed. The visitor is asked to send funds for conversion, enter account details, or connect a wallet to "swap." The converted funds never arrive. Wallet connections can be used to request signatures or token approvals that let the operator move assets. The page title presents the site as a standalone exchange rather than naming another brand, while our classification places it in the impersonation category.
Evidence
Wallet-focused blocklists back the classification. MetaMask and SEAL both list the domain alongside PhishDestroy, so many wallet users are already warned before the page loads. Spamhaus lists it in its DBL as a phishing domain. On VirusTotal, 7 of 89 engines flagged it as of 2026-09-14: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar and VIPRE. That count is modest, so many browsers and security tools will not block it. Four AlienVault OTX threat pulses also reference it.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through NameCheap, Inc. on 2025-12-02, about nine months before PhishDestroy detected it. A domain held that long before use can look older and more trustworthy to reputation filters. It is hosted at 198.177.120.137 in Germany. Its certificate is a domain-validated one from Sectigo, which only proves control of the domain. The browser padlock says nothing about whether the service is legitimate.
What to do
Do not send any more funds, and ignore any demand for a "verification" or "release" fee to unlock a pending swap. Paying more only adds to the loss. If you connected a wallet or signed anything, revoke the token approvals granted to unfamiliar addresses with a reputable approval checker. Move remaining assets to a fresh wallet if you ever entered a seed phrase. If you typed passwords or exchange credentials, change them and reset two-factor authentication. Defenders should block zap.exchange at DNS and proxy level, hunt for past visits in their logs, and report the domain to the registrar and hosting provider.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.

Choose the steps that match what you shared. Keep a copy of this report alongside your own records.
Cosa devo fare subito?
Urgente
Stop using the suspicious site. Open the real service through its official app or an address you already trust.
Modifica tutte le password — e-mail, account Exchange, qualsiasi servizio che utilizzi la stessa password
Abilita l'autenticazione a due fattori (2FA) utilizzando un'app di autenticazione (non via SMS). Disattiva il recupero tramite SMS
Carte congelate se hai inserito i tuoi dati bancari sul sito di phishing
Quali informazioni devo raccogliere per la mia relazione?
Linee guida dell'FBI
Keep original emails, receipts, messages and screenshots in a secure place. A factual timeline helps the receiving authority understand what happened. IC3 evidence guidance ↗
Payment records — if you paid, save the receipt, amount, date, payment provider and recipient details.
Date e orari esatti — di ogni transazione e del primo contatto con il truffatore
Schermate — siti web truffaldini, messaggi in chat, e-mail, transazioni tramite portafoglio digitale, social media
Tutti gli URL e i domini utilizzato dal truffatore (tra cui zap.exchange)
Comunicazioni — e-mail, SMS, numeri di telefono, nomi utente utilizzati dal truffatore

Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
Polizia locale — crea un documento ufficiale, anche se non è in grado di agire immediatamente
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 phishing scams typically work?
Siti web fasulli — cloni perfetti, al pixel, di siti legittimi con domini leggermente modificati
Macellazione dei suini — fiducia conquistata nel corso di settimane tramite Telegram/WhatsApp/app di incontri, per poi rubare i soldi
Truffe legate al recupero dei fondi — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
Truffe basate sull'intelligenza artificiale — i deepfake, il phishing automatizzato e i siti generati dall’intelligenza artificiale rendono più difficile individuare le frodi
Come posso proteggermi in futuro?
Aggiungi i siti ufficiali ai preferiti — Non cliccare mai sui link contenuti nelle e-mail, nei messaggi diretti o negli annunci pubblicitari
