Free tool · Look-alike Site Checker

Is this really Coinbase, or a copy?

Scam sites borrow a real name and change one letter, add a word like “support” or “verify”, or hide the real name in front of someone else’s domain. Paste the address from the link, the ad or the message.

Try an example:
How the address breaks down

    This checker looks at the address only and never visits the site. It knows the main addresses of 20 popular exchanges and wallets. A clean result is not proof a site is safe, so open the company’s app or type its address yourself.

    Lost crypto to a scam? Start here.

    You are not alone and it is not your fault. Speed matters most in the first hours. Pick what happened and we’ll build your plan.

    1. What happened?

    2. How did the money leave?

    3. Where do you live?

    Watch out for “recovery” offers. After a scam, fake recovery firms, “hackers” and even fake police contact victims and charge a fee to get the money back. Real police and regulators never charge you.
