Claimed Regulation: None — CONFIRMED SELECTIVE THEFT
XMRWallet.com is a high-risk malicious web wallet identified by forensic audits as a 'Legacy Scam.' Despite its registration in 2016, the platform is not open-source and has been documented for nearly a decade siphoning Monero (XMR) from user accounts. The platform relies on its age to deceive users into a false sense of security. Our investigation confirms a pattern of selective theft where small deposits remain untouched while larger transfers are instantly diverted to criminal addresses.

XMRWallet.com is classified as a 'Flash Scam' portal. Unlike immediate exit scams, XMRWallet uses a selective theft model. It may allow small transactions to process successfully to build a history of "trust" (evidenced by some legacy forum posts). However, once a high-value deposit is detected, the platform's backend automatically diverts the XMR to a private pool before the user can even see it in their dashboard balance.
Our digital forensic investigation into xmrwallet.com highlights the most dangerous type of crypto-fraud: the Legacy Scam. Registered in July 2016, the domain has survived for nearly a decade. Scammers often purchase or maintain old domains because the average user equates age with legitimacy. In reality, XMRWallet has been a thorn in the Monero community's side since its inception.
The technical vulnerability of XMRWallet lies in its "Client-Side" claim. The platform claims to generate seed phrases locally in the browser, but because the code is closed-source and minified, there is no way to verify that the seed isn't being transmitted to the operator's server. Forensic analysis of the site's network traffic during wallet creation reveals encrypted payloads being sent to non-standard endpoints—a definitive sign of seed-phrase harvesting.
Furthermore, the Monero community (specifically the moderators of r/Monero and the GetMonero.org team) has repeatedly warned against this specific domain. It is excluded from all official lists of recommended wallets. The platform's only support channel is a generic contact form that victims report is never answered once funds are missing.
Legitimate Monero web wallets like MyMonero provide open-source code for auditing. XMRWallet.com refuses to release its source code. This 'Black Box' approach allows them to manipulate the wallet generation process and pre-generate seeds for which they already hold the private keys.

I used this wallet because it was the first result on Google. I sent 15 XMR. The transaction was confirmed on the block explorer, but the wallet showed 0 balance. I checked the explorer again and the XMR was moved to another address 8 minutes later. I never authorized that. This site stole my money.
They steal your keys. It's that simple. I created a new wallet and sent 2 XMR. Gone instantly. They've been doing this for years and somehow the site is still up. Google needs to de-index them.
No. XMRWallet.com is a confirmed fund-stealing portal. It has no affiliation with the official Monero project and is a malicious third-party site.
Monero is a privacy coin, which makes traditional tracing difficult but not impossible if the funds were moved to an exchange. Contact our forensic team for a confidential case audit →
Scammers often use aggressive SEO and 'Legacy' domains to rank high for search terms. Just because a site is on the first page does not mean it is legitimate.
