This site is not the official WhatsApp Web. It's a lookalike domain (whatsapp-wep.com versus web.whatsapp.com) that was registered two days ago and immediately flagged by Google for trying to deceive visitors. Sites like this often ask you to scan a QR code that, instead of logging you into WhatsApp, hands your account credentials to scammers. The download buttons might also serve malware. A legitimate tech tutorial site would have an obvious author, contact information, and a privacy policy. This site has none of that. If you need a guide for WhatsApp Web, use the official app or a well-known tech blog you already trust. There is no reason to give this domain the benefit of the doubt.
This site failed important safety checks — please read this before going any further.
Be careful — Dangerous
No — whatsapp-wep.com doesn't look safe
15/ 100 trust score
In plain English
This site is dangerous. It's only been online for two days yet Google has already caught it trying to trick people. The fake brand name, hidden ownership, and a host network known for malicious activity make this a clear phishing risk. Do not scan any codes or download anything from here.
What you should do now
Don't panic. These steps limit the damage, and the sooner you take them the better.
1
Don't enter any details
No passwords, card numbers or personal information — even if the site looks professional.
2
Close the tab
Especially if you got here from an email, text message or social media ad.
3
Already paid? Call your bank
Contact your bank or card provider right away. They can often stop or reverse a recent payment.
4
Warn others
Report the site and share this check with anyone who sent you the link.

How we score →
Where the score comes from
We look at six areas. Here's how whatsapp-wep.com did in each.
10
Security
Google flagged the site for social engineering, which means it's actively reported as designed to deceive you. A valid SSL certificate means nothing when the site itself is a known threat.
5
Identity
The domain is only two days old and uses a misspelled version of WhatsApp's name to trick visitors. The registrant's details are hidden behind a Chinese registrar that doesn't offer public WHOIS access.
15
Reputation
Beyond the Google Safe Browsing warning, the site sits on a network that Spamhaus lists as completely malicious. With no history in the Wayback Machine and no trust signals anywhere, it's starting from a negative reputation.
10
Transparency
There's no contact page, no about page, and no company information. A site that asks you to scan a QR code or download software should make it clear who runs it, but this one hides entirely.
15
Compliance
No privacy policy or terms of service are present. For a site that prompts users to log in and potentially handles personal data, that's a serious gap, not an oversight.
25
Infrastructure
The site is hosted on a network flagged as entirely malicious by Spamhaus and has 18 IP addresses, which is uncommon for a legitimate small operation. The lack of security headers and email servers suggests a setup built for short-term abuse, not long-term service.
