Walexer Scam (Confirmed Scam!)
Is Walexer[.]com a scam?
If you’ve come across posts or videos online promoting the crypto exchange platform Walexer[.]com and you’re wondering whether it’s a scam or legit, you’re in the right place! The short answer is Walexer is 100% a scam, but keep on reading for the full scoop.
Big, bold, bogus claims from the Walexer scam
The Walexer website makes a lot of big claims. The site says that trades made on the platform total $137 million every quarter and that “150+ countries of the world trust and trade” on it. However, for a site that was only registered on the 26th of last month, those stats certainly don’t seem too plausible — even though on its About Us page the site alleges that it’s been around since 2018 (another bogus claim).
Deceiving videos and deleted posts of Walexer[.]com
For many people, the first time they will hear about Walexer[.]com will be through one of the many deceptive videos posted to TikTok alleging that people can get 0.325 Bitcoin (currently around $9500) for free using a promo code. Of course, the money is not real. The videos are simply designed to drive people to the scam site.
Additionally, we’ve noticed that posts made to Reddit asking whether Walexer[.]com can be trusted have been deleted/removed by moderators, potentially further adding to many people’s confusion about if it’s legit or not.
What the scammers want
As mentioned, Walexer[.]com is a confirmed scam, and any money deposited on the site will go straight into the scammers’ pockets. However, they’re not just after your money — they want your personal info, too. If you were to sign up for the site, all the info you provide when doing so could be sold/leaked by the scammers onto underground hacker forums and/or the dark web.
