The scheme is among the common ones that circulates not only for crypto exchanges but nearly for all other online services. Fake and phishing websites are continually being used to lure in victims to hand out their credentials unsuspectingly.
That is why among the simplest yet effective means of streering away from these fake websites is through bookmarks. Bookmarking sites might sound so simple, but it has been an effective means of easily figuring out whether the website address is different from that of what you received on your email.
Just a reminder to all of us, let us not forget that at times, the simple security measures can save us a lot of hassle and possible loss.
Topic: Be careful with fake exchanges - page 13. (Read 15843 times)
There are a lot of platforms that are already handling exchanges and as time goes by, there are more and more being produced and being created to handle these kinds of transactions. There are a lot of exchanges right now that uses their own token to complete transactions and these may have their own pro's and con's. We just need to be careful in entering exchanges because some of them might not be secure so we need to make sure before transacting that the exchange website is trusted.
It's called phishing attack and one might not find it every time while using the website. The simple way to stay away from such attack is to bookmark the genuine URL and strictly using it every time while visiting the site instead of Google search or any other link. There are some extensions available that will check the authenticity of the URL every time.
Just use legit market exchange so we can secure our private key, be aware to participate in airdrop some of them are scam and make listed on the fake market exchange.
I also received that email into my Gmail and as what you said it was about Airdrop which I don't participating anymore and when I saw the website I knew it was a scam.
We should be very careful before depositing to exchange cause right now so many new exchange are pumping out of nowhere and gone just like a bubbles.

Well particularly for me, I don't trade in any exchange that isn't recognize on CMC, also, the number of volume, and most importantly how secure the exchange is.
Most exchanges now accept trading from metamask or so, it is both safe and risky at the same time.
I guess my point is to find out well before venturing in those exchanges

Yeah happend to me once as well. Just make sure you dont use google to search for words connected to the name of the exchange. But rather use links provided in the bitcointalk section of a coin or via discord/telegram. If your using an exchange often just make a bookmark of the site and use that. Be carefull all!
Yes, phishing sites are rampant right now, I am afraid of worrying about people who don't know things like this, because crypto crime is not just phishing sites that exist, there are lots of scams they do to take work We are hard, like on telegrams, Facebook, Twitter and other social media, the most common crime in social media is that they disguise themselves as important people / admin and so they will easily do tricks to be able to take people's property. Think before acting, because unplanned actions will lead you to the wrong path.
One of the things I'm most afraid of is security vulnerabilities. I will wait for the price increase as the price drops down,
but I do not have any return on security in your hand.
Especially in this fake exchange case,
there were too many people hurting.

I have repeatedly said that even some trusted exchanges play some games sometimes to rid traders of their resources and investments. For instance, I have personally experienced a BOT trade on coinexchange... My btc and eth were used to purchase another shit coin at a very high rate and then sold off at very low rate. Guess what? I lost 75% of my holdings worth in that bot trade and nothing was done to rectify it since blockchain transactions are irreversible.
When dealing with new or recently-launched exchanges, be careful to withdraw your resources as soon as you're done trading. That's still the safest option.

Thanks for sharing fake exchanger link. Etherdelta hacked few months ago and from then many etherdelta users got hacked and lost their coins. You can use Idex now but don't use private key.
For those of you traders, please be careful with fake exchanges, because I found a VERY SAME exchange that makes no difference at all like the exchange on EtherDelta, the fake exchange link that I saw I got from my Gmail inbox, which message it was contains about giving tokens like AIRDROP, and there I am given a registration form link and in the form there is a fake EtherDelta link, and this is the link http://EtherDelta.website, and this is the original EtherDelta link https://etherdelta.com/. There is no difference at all in the two exchanges, the images, features and others are exactly the same, so please be careful.
Secure your private key, secure your wallet, do not easily believe things that invite you to get rich instantly, do not easily trust advertisements, because crime is not just at one door, who knows there are many other fake exchanges, therefore be careful.

True. Its really hard to trust some unknown exchanger, thats why stick to your only exchanger and do not try all of trend exchanger out there you did not know if they are safe or not. Thank you for all of reminders it really help not only me but all of us here. We should always be careful if we want to try a new exchanger and you are doubt of it, try a few coins to trade then if its okay then you must continue if its are not then back off.
I have not encountered such a problem yet.Of course there are many scams that want to deceive You. The main task of purse owners is always to check the address of exchanges. Personally, I have all the exchanges I use, they are in browser in bookmarks.
We have found many fake exchange every time are listing for selling or buying altcoin, we have more carefully when using for buying or selling our token. Maybe we have try by little amount to buy or sell coin there before selling many coin.
Yes true and i definitely agree with that... as much as plenty of ICO are fake, there are a lot also of exchangers are fake. Please be very careful in what you are entering to.
Thanks for tis information about etherdelta exchange had the same profile as what the original has, so scary we thought we can have money but after all it was scam so hurt, we must be careful and watchful for everything..
Actually, one of the things I'm most afraid of is security vulnerabilities.

I think etherdelta has had various problems from 2017 to the present. You should use other exchanges that your Altcoins have registered or wait until listing in several exchanges. I think etherdelta must make a major update to give traders a sense of security.
Great thanks to these, this truly helped me in offering coins and anchoring my private key. Without a doubt, there are numerous violations, among them are as you specified. What's more, numerous different violations, for example, counterfeit myetherwallet, and so forth so not just brokers, all who have resources in digital currency must be watchful. since wrongdoing and con artist are surrounding us.
Yes of course, make sure that you are dealing with the legit platform exchanges so that you don't get victimized by scammers. That is why I am very glad that here in my country, our Central Bank focuses on regulating the virtual currency exchanges to protect us bitcoin users.
That exchange must be in our environment, but for now we need to be more careful about exchanging things. because the more they come here, the exchange is sometimes used by people who are impoverished, let alone a lot of fake exchanges.
