Investigation Brief

The subdomain promotes a paid WhatsApp contact widget for websites with free trial claims and Russian contact details. Multiple engines including alphaMountain.ai, Emsisoft, Fortinet, G-Data, Netcraft, Sophos and Webroot flag the domain for phishing. Google Safe Browsing shows no flag and TLS is valid, but the consistent AV detections indicate operator-level risk of deceptive practices.

What the site appears to do

Markets a lightweight WhatsApp widget and button for embedding on websites to capture mobile leads via direct chat. Offers 30-day free trial, tiered pricing in RUB, and claims 1014 connected sites with 2.4M monthly audience.

Strongest evidence of risk

VirusTotal reports 7 malicious detections out of 92 engines, with explicit phishing labels from alphaMountain.ai, Emsisoft, Fortinet, G-Data, Netcraft, Sophos and Webroot. No other technical indicators such as malware downloads or redirects were observed on the scanned page.

Practical user impact

Visiting or signing up risks exposure to phishing infrastructure. The widget itself may be used deceptively on other sites. Legitimate contact details exist but do not override the AV consensus.

Why the score is 28

6 independent antivirus familyies reported an adverse result. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

08 · Safety FAQ

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers reflect the saved verdict and evidence in this report.

Is whatsapper.leadball.ru a scam or a legit website?
whatsapper.leadball.ru raises serious red flags as a phishing & impersonation — do not enter your login or personal details. Our review tagged it for phishing-impersonation and saas. 7 of 92 security engines flag it (7 as outright malicious). It may not be an outright scam, but the risk is high enough that you should verify it independently before trusting it with money or data.
Is whatsapper.leadball.ru safe to use?
whatsapper.leadball.ru has a Safety Score of 28/100 (High Risk). Analysis coverage is strong at 90%. Avoid login, payment and downloads.
I already paid or entered my details on whatsapper.leadball.ru — what should I do?
If you've already paid or handed over details on whatsapper.leadball.ru, act quickly. 1) Contact your bank or card issuer immediately and ask to dispute the charge or open a chargeback — the sooner you act, the better your odds. 2) Report the site to the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov or the FBI's IC3 at ic3.gov, and in the UK to Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. 3) If you entered a password, change it on whatsapper.leadball.ru and anywhere you reused it, and turn on two-factor authentication. 4) Watch your bank and email for follow-up fraud, and keep screenshots as evidence.
Can I get my money back from whatsapper.leadball.ru?
Often yes, if you act fast. Payments made by credit or debit card can frequently be reversed through a chargeback or dispute — contact your bank right away and explain it was a fraudulent site. Bank transfers and gift-card or voucher payments are much harder to recover, but you should still report them to your bank and to the FTC (reportfraud.ftc.gov) or Action Fraud (actionfraud.police.uk). Avoid any "refund" or "recovery" service that contacts you first — it's usually a follow-up scam.
Did whatsapper.leadball.ru steal my password or personal information?
If you entered anything on whatsapper.leadball.ru, assume it was captured. Phishing pages exist purely to harvest what you type — usernames, passwords, card numbers, or one-time codes. Change the password immediately on the real site and anywhere you reused it, enable two-factor authentication, and if you entered card or banking details, contact your bank about the risk of fraud. Also be alert for follow-up "security" calls or emails that try to exploit the same information.
How do I report whatsapper.leadball.ru?
You can report whatsapper.leadball.ru through several official channels: the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at ic3.gov, and — in the UK — Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. You can also flag it to Google Safe Browsing (safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish) so other browsers warn about it, and report it to the company being impersonated if there is one. Reporting helps get scam sites taken down faster.
whatsapper.leadball.ru looks professional — how can it still be a scam?
Modern scams are built to look convincing. A valid SSL padlock, a polished template, stock photos, fake reviews, and a trust badge can all be added in minutes and prove nothing about who runs the site. Scammers buy cheap domains, clone real designs, and copy legal pages wholesale. That's exactly why an automated review that checks the domain's age, hosting, blacklists, and behaviour — rather than just how the page looks — is more reliable than a first impression.
Has whatsapper.leadball.ru been flagged by antivirus engines?
Yes. 7 of 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged whatsapper.leadball.ru, 7 of them as outright malicious. Even a single detection from a reputable engine is a meaningful warning, and multiple detections rarely happen by accident.
Is whatsapper.leadball.ru on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — whatsapper.leadball.ru is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.
Does whatsapper.leadball.ru have a valid SSL certificate?
Yes — whatsapper.leadball.ru presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YR1, valid for another 36 days. Important caveat: SSL only encrypts the connection between you and the site — it does not verify who runs it. Almost all scam sites now have valid SSL too, so a padlock alone never means "safe".
Where is whatsapper.leadball.ru hosted?
whatsapper.leadball.ru resolves to an IP operated by Reg.Ru Hosting in RU (Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.
How often is the whatsapper.leadball.ru report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on July 30, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about whatsapper.leadball.ru has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
