Now many exchange are come in online but many new exchange are not safe if you want to trade new exchange you should first research that exchange
There are several websites that claim that they are 'wallets' to store Bitcoin. Some claim that they are 'Exchange' where people can trade Bitcoin. There are also those who claim to be both, but usually things like this are fraudulent sites. Usually they ask users to register and deposit Bitcoin or local currency then they run away the money. Things you need to pay attention to Use the services of a trusted and registered company:
Make sure you can verify the identity of the employee / company owner
See if they are mentioned in local and international news publications

you are right, if you get spam about the airdrop given by an exchange similar to etherdelta. I'm different again. I got spam about upgrading the wallet from fake myetherwallet. even daily can reach 10 spam emails. I initially believed and clicked on the link provided. but after I examined it. it turns out the link is different and I have to make a new wallet address. I am lucky because in the first wallet there is no balance. so stay cautious, about exchanges, wallets and more. because there are many crime modes.
Here are scammers and hackers everywhere these days. It is because there is big money involved in the crypto and if you can get access to someone's private keys, you can steal everything without the risk to go to jail. This is a big problem and I hope there will be a solution in the future on how to find and punish these guys
Yes, a lot of cryptocurrency exchanges, one has to be careful because most of them are here to destroy our little beginning
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.

Well we people cannot evade the inevitable which is those scammers who are giving fake exchanges. In order to have a good trade, we should assess all the details of our client before we go to release the item that we will be trading off. We should consider all the things that we needed.
in the digital world, there are many people who try to cheat one of them through the crypto exchange, I suggest to bookmark the crypto exchange site that is genuine, because the web display is almost the same as the original
I totally agree with you. We need to be very cautious and secure our private key and wallets. We need to be very careful and should not easily believe every sites an advertisement.
Yeah, absolutely. This is something that we should always do.
many scam exchanges available so be careful
That is why I always just save my link in my secure browser and go from there. Although there was a time if I remember correctly that the etherdelta website itself was hijacked or something and it was unusable for a time.
thanks for the information, this really helped me in selling coins and securing my private key. indeed, there are many crimes. among them are as you mentioned. and many other crimes, such as fake myetherwallet, etc. so not only traders, all who have assets in crypto currency must be careful. because crime and scammer are all around us.

Yes there are so many fake websites that is why I am really careful with the websites I am clicking. I do always check the address then if I am really sure that this is the right site, I am saving it (bookmark). Another case for me in exchangers is if I/we can really trust the new exchangers that appears and/or those unfamiliar exchangers. To be able to check it, I am reading feedbacks about it here in bitcointalk.org.
I once lost my coins from myether wallet and the reason i think was that i mistakenly opened some phising website or fake website.. so guys always becareful and double check before opening exchanges
