Is starts-ldgercmn.wixstudio.com legit or a scam?
Ledger phishing clone on Wix Studio using a typosquatted subdomain and shared with other confirmed impersonation sites.
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.

Intelligence
The page is hosted on starts-ldgercmn.wixstudio.com, a subdomain that closely mimics the official Ledger start page. Gridinsoft flagged the URL as phishing while the hosting IP carries 21 abuse reports. Multiple similar Wix Studio subdomains on the same infrastructure have already been reported as Ledger phishing pages. The domain itself is nine years old, but the subdomain pattern and clone indicators point to recent malicious use. No business registration exists for the operator. The combination of typosquatting, clone signals, and prior abuse reports on the IP outweighs the clean browser blocklist result.

What to do
Brand impersonation detected
This page is styled as a known brand but is not the brand's real site.
- Do not interact with starts-ldgercmn.wixstudio.com
Do not enter credentials, deposit money, download files, or install browser extensions from this site.
- Go to the brand's real site directly
Type the brand name into a search engine or open it from your bookmarks — don't use links from emails, SMS, ads, or social posts, which are the delivery vectors for impersonation.
- Never download or sign in here
Even if the page "just" offers a download or a giveaway, impersonation pages frequently deliver malware or set up follow-up phishing. Assume anything accepted from this site is hostile.
- OpenReport the impersonation to the brand
Most major brands have a dedicated abuse or anti-phishing reporting channel — reporting helps them take the site down and protects other users.
