So, I did a little digging, you know, like you do when something just… *feels* off. And what I found was, well, kinda alarming. Apparently, “our website Validator” (whoever *that* is) evaluated like, 53 different things and decided this watc.is joint is, and I quote, “high-risk.” High-risk for what, exactly? Well, for being a potential scam, duh!
Like, Spectrum TV (who knew they did website analysis?) flat-out says “watc.is has a very low trust score.” Okay, red flag number one. They even use that scary “exercise extreme caution” language. Makes you wanna run for the hills, doesn’t it?
But wait, there’s more! JustWatch (which I usually use to see where I can stream my favorite shows) is throwing serious shade, too. They’re talking about spam emails, social media lures, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok… basically, all the places where scammers hang out, trying to reel in unsuspecting victims. Ugh, makes me wanna take a shower, thinking about all that digital grime.
And then there’s this WATC STUDIO thing (sounds kinda artsy, no?). They’re straight up calling it a “site fraudulento” – fraud site! And that they’re using “táticas enganosas” – deceptive tactics – to get your money and personal info. Like, come on! Who falls for this stuff? (Okay, okay, maybe *some* people do, that’s why these scams exist, right?).
Now, things get even weirder. I also stumbled across something about “WATC” being a cryptocurrency. A *meme* cryptocurrency, no less. With gaming and “real-world utility.” Huh? Is this the same “WATC”? I dunno. Maybe it’s a completely separate thing. Or maybe it’s connected. The whole thing is making my head spin. This just adds to the sketchy factor, to be honest. Like, are they trying to piggyback on the name recognition of a potentially fraudulent website? Or is the crypto legit and just has a terrible name? I’m so confused!
