These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

Confidence
The site functions as a payment processor for Wildberries, with subdomains explicitly listed in the retailer's bug bounty program. Technical checks returned zero malware detections and a clean hosting IP. Two separate entries on webpays-scam.com describe merchants receiving PayWB contracts after signing up elsewhere and seeing the branding on statements. No business registration records turned up for the operator. The combination of an old domain with these specific user reports creates moderate concern despite the absence of direct complaints about paywb.com itself.

    Crypto, gift cards, wire transfers, and cash apps offer zero buyer protection. Use a credit card or PayPal if you must pay.

  • Share your experience
