This is a very important point. Differences in the address bar may be minimal. I never follow unfamiliar links. You have to be very careful to keep your capital.
The other point which I will like to mention that many of them often advertise on google search engine so when you search the name of a particular exchange on google then on the top you will see that fake exchange listed in advertisement section.

Do what ever you need to do to secure your private key. Always be careful of everywebsite that you login always be careful because they other who copy the exchanges site who are real so they will open your account and your coins gone for sure if that happen.

Ya, I just got a kick int the @$$. The idea was awesome. Drop Eth in changelly, which works w/o a doubt, then take the Btc to coinswap.ac and exchange for slightly more Eth. Coinswap.ac "took the $$ and..... nothing 😤.

Does anyone know of any legit exchange pairs that work this particular angle??

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.

I think there's an extension that can filter these fake websites as well as if you are in eth based exchange, metamask can do that filtering I guess. But for the general advice, it's way better to just save in your bookmarks the official ones and don't just click the link in the emails or anywhere.

I look at these points:
1. The exchange address


2. The reputation of the exchange


3. Confidentiality


4. Transaction fee


5. Speed

Even though the original page has been bookmarked but sometimes it is redirected to phishing sites without us knowing it, even there are cases where the wallet we copy turns into hacker wallet automatically. I am sure this can happen because of viruses that is lodged in the computer. So in order to avoid hacking attack, phishing sites or viruses it is better to use different PC (specifically for work / only for browsing and playing games).

This situation is very common and very dangerous for our entire community. They pretend to be reputable trading sites to deceive and take our money. My friend has been deceived 2ETH when they fake Binance.com listing. That we need to be more careful.
That's why we need to read some feedback before we deposit, what do you mean by Binance.com listing by the way?
Binance is a reputable exchange but be careful with Phishing or fake sites that is similar to Binance, that's some of the risk in the internet, we should be smart.

If we want to trade cryptocurrencies, the first thing that should do is to find a reliable exchange wherein it has a high security that can protect our money. We will lose our money if we find a fake exchange or a exchange that have low security.

Yeah be careful but even with that you may fall in their frauds , Remember what happened to MTGOX , or recently upbit exchange has been acued to manipulating its market and transferred some money , I just wanted to say that even big exchanges can turn into the scam and you need to be careful about using every exchange not only small ones .

These days, many exchanges are coming up every other day and a lot of them are fake, so specially newbie traders should be careful in trading these exchanges, they have to research well before joining these exchanges or they would lose all their funds.

indeed there are many fake exchangers, and strangely, some investors are still deceived by the irresponsible DEV. indeed the exchanger platform has proven to be a number of successful platforms such as Huobi, binary, IDEX and others so investors are very interested when an ICO aims to create an exchanger platform
Though its really taking a big risk but investors still working on it and still take their chances, you mentions projects that already provide good outcome and use as a basis for sme of those investors that still placing their money from this type of projects, as long as they are willing to take the risk and they are willing to wait and see what fate will bring them, scams are all over and yet they are still proceeding.

The point is you do not easily believe something that will make you get a big profit like an offer to get money or anything and most importantly we must always check the right link. They can cheat with phishing links and ordinary people are very easy to click on the obscure link. Be careful!
