Fake "GROK Token Official Presale" crypto drainer impersonating xAI's Grok brand
gro79a.com is a 159-day-old landing page that presents itself as the "GROK Token Official Presale" and invites visitors to "JOIN PRESALE" with cryptocurrency. Independent security researchers explicitly label it a "Grok Presale Scam" and a "Crypto Drainer Site," and multiple antivirus families flag it as adverse. The site borrows the Grok/MT Intelligence name without any affiliation, publishes a generic California address, and routes contact through an off-domain email at xaistrat.com while also referencing a sibling domain, GROK888X.com. There is no legitimate product, no verifiable operator, and the only visitor action the page solicits is sending crypto to an anonymous party.

Investigation Brief
gro79a.com is a 159-day-old landing page that presents itself as the "GROK Token Official Presale" and invites visitors to "JOIN PRESALE" with cryptocurrency. Independent security researchers explicitly label it a "Grok Presale Scam" and a "Crypto Drainer Site," and multiple antivirus families flag it as adverse. The site borrows the Grok/MT Intelligence name without any affiliation, publishes a generic California address, and routes contact through an off-domain email at xaistrat.com while also referencing a sibling domain, GROK888X.com. There is no legitimate product, no verifiable operator, and the only visitor action the page solicits is sending crypto to an anonymous party.
A fake "official" presale built on a borrowed AI brand
The page's central claim is that "The GROK Token Official Presale is now Live," and its primary call to action is a "JOIN PRESALE" button. Nothing on the site establishes any connection to xAI or the real Grok product; the branding is simply borrowed to make an anonymous crypto solicitation look legitimate.
Independent security research is unambiguous about what this is. One report states that "This '$GROK Presale' is a scam" and describes the page as a fake exclusive presale event, while another classifies gro79a.com as a "Crypto Drainer Site." A separate scanner describes it as a cryptocurrency presale landing page branded as the "GROK Token Official Presale," and a threat-intelligence listing calls it a generic phishing site with elevated financial-fraud risk.
The operator identity is deliberately thin. The site prints a generic "San Francisco Bay Area, California, U.S." address, offers no registration or corporate identifier, and routes contact through an email address on the unrelated domain xaistrat.com. It also references GROK888X.com, indicating a cluster of look-alike domains rather than a single legitimate project.
Clean TLS and Safe Browsing do not offset a confirmed crypto scam
The technical layer looks unremarkable: the saved TLS check found a valid encrypted connection and the browser threat feed returned no threat warning. Those are baseline hygiene signals, not evidence of legitimacy, and they are outweighed here by the operator-level evidence.
Three independent antivirus families reported an adverse result for this domain, and the domain itself is only 159 days old. A brand-new domain soliciting crypto under a well-known AI brand, with no verifiable operator and an off-domain contact address, is the classic profile of a short-lived drainer page.
Why the score is 12
The page claims "The GROK Token Official Presale is now Live" and solicits crypto via a "JOIN PRESALE" button, with no evidence of any affiliation to xAI or the real Grok product. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

What this means for you
What happens if a visitor acts on the page
A visitor who clicks "JOIN PRESALE" is being directed into a cryptocurrency payment flow for a token that independent researchers identify as a scam and a drainer. The page's own copy frames this as an official presale, which is the pretext for the transfer.
How the observed mechanism works
The evidence-backed path
Each stage below is preserved from the grounded analysis and linked to saved evidence.
The destination of any funds sent through that flow is not disclosed anywhere on the site, and the operator is anonymous. Once crypto is sent, there is no chargeback mechanism and no identified party to pursue.
Do not connect a wallet, send crypto, or enter any personal information on gro79a.com. The site is a confirmed fake presale impersonating the Grok brand, and independent researchers classify it as a crypto drainer. If you have already sent funds, treat them as lost and report the address to the relevant exchange and to your local cybercrime authority; do not respond to any follow-up "recovery" offers, which are a common second-stage scam against victims of this exact scheme.
