“xAI Token” Presale: Exposing The Scam Network

The so-called “xAI token presale” is not a legitimate crypto event. It is a coordinated impersonation scam built to exploit the popularity of Elon Musk’s xAI brand.

This fraud follows the exact same playbook as the Grok token presale scam network we recently exposed: same layout, same countdown mechanics, same fake bonuses, and the same aggressive “early access” marketing tactics.

What is The “xAI Token Presale”?

This scam claims that xAI has launched a crypto token and opened a limited “presale” where investors can supposedly earn up to 200% bonuses by buying early. The pages are designed to look professional and futuristic, using AI buzzwords such as “quantum encryption”, “AI governance”, and “predictive market intelligence”.

But none of this is real. There is no verified xAI token presale, and sending crypto to these pages will not give you any token, it simply transfers your funds directly to scammer-controlled wallets.

xaiwalletgo.com: The Central Hub of The Scam

The core hub we observed in this campaign is xaiwalletgo.com. The site presents a full “token presale” landing page with:

• A fake live presale countdown timer
• “Earn up to 200% bonus” messaging
• Multiple crypto payment options (BTC / ETH / BNB / USDT / ADA / XRP / DOGE)
• A fake “presale participants” number

Fake presale timer + fake participation numbers

This scam uses a fake countdown timer to create urgency and push victims to act fast. The timer is usually scripted and meaningless.

The same applies to Presale Participants: 69,858. It is fake social proof designed to make the scam look popular, with no verifiable community or proof the numbers are real.

Fake tokenomics and recycled AI buzzwords

The page is filled with recycled AI buzzwords like quantum-safe encryption, dynamic tokenomics, smart agreements, and AI oracles.

These terms are used to sound advanced but there is no proof, no audits, no team, no code, no documentation, and no real product.

No real company, no legal entity, no support

There is no real company behind the site. No registration, no owners, no address, no trusted support.
Most links are broken or lead to dead anchors which is common in scam using recycled templates.

The Pointer Domains Fueling The Scam

This network uses many rotating “pointer domains” that look like unique token presales, but simply redirect victims into the same scam funnel. Many of these domains go offline after exposure, then new ones appear again.

Reported “xAI presale” redirect domains

Previously, victims were also redirected through chainxaitoken.net (currently offline), and earlier campaigns included other “xAI token presale” domains documented in our February 2025 review, including the still-active xai122.com.

Why scammers use many rotating domains

• Dodging reports: if one domain is blocked by browsers/extensions, they switch instantly
• Dodging takedowns: hosting providers may suspend one domain, but not 50 others
• Scaling ads: different domains can be used in spam campaigns simultaneously
• Confusing victims: victims search one domain and don’t immediately find warnings

How The Scam Works (step-by-step)

Stage 1: Bait pages and fake credibility

Victims discover one of the domains through social media spam, misleading fake promo posts or even deepfake videos. The design looks clean and “official” to lower suspicion, and the presale language is crafted to trigger fear-of-missing-out.

Stage 2: Deposit capture

The “Buy xAI” button pushes users to choose a crypto and send funds to a wallet address controlled by scammers. Because crypto transactions are irreversible, once the deposit is sent, there is no refund mechanism.

Stage 3: Victim gets stuck or pressured

Some victims are shown “success” screens or “pending token allocation”, while scammers push them to send more to “unlock” bonuses, access tiers, or claim rewards.

This turns into an advance-fee scam where each payment creates a new excuse.

Key Red Flags Proving It’s a Scam

The presale is not officially announced by xAI

A real presale would be announced through official channels and recognized crypto communities — not random rotating domains. If it’s not verifiable, it’s not real.

Dead footer links (privacy/terms/social icons)

On xaiwalletgo.com, the privacy policy and terms pages as well as their social links are not functional. This is typical of scam templates: legal links are placed only for appearance.

Identical layout reused across Grokcenter network

This is the biggest tell: the entire structure is nearly identical to Grokcenter’s impersonation presale pages. Only a few words are swapped meaning it’s almost certainly the same operators.

Connection To The Grokcenter Scam Network

This xAI presale scam network matches the Grokcenter operation across multiple layers:

• Same fake “presale bonus” structure
• Same fake timer / driven pressure tactics
• Same rotating domain infrastructure
• Same copy/paste AI buzzword sections

That’s why this campaign should be treated as a continuation of the same broader fraud ecosystem.

What To Do If You Already Sent Crypto

If you already sent funds to one of these presale scams, act quickly:

• Report the incident to your local authority or cybercrime unit.
• Block the scammers and stop communication immediately.
• Do not send any more funds to the scammers.
• If you used an exchange to send funds, contact their support and request monitoring of the receiving wallet.
