Our scam-network fingerprint confirms this is a clone of moonpay.com, and the evidence package documents multiple similar wixstudio.com subdomains (home-moonpay, io-starts-moonpay, moonpayapps) all reported as crypto drainer sites.

The hosting IP has 19 abuse reports and a reputation score of 15/100, consistent with malicious infrastructure.
