If you are a newbie in this space, one of the best things you can do is learn to bookmark, just like there are numerous genuine projects out there, there are many scammers too aiming to relieve people of their hard earned cash so we have to always take precautions.

And stop searching for wallets on google because it's known that google also allows these phishing sites to avail their boost ad. Those ads that will come out as result of what you are looking for because of the keyword but if you are not too curious enough of learning what that site is, you can fall as a victim.

Instead of using Google, Duckduckgo will do everything that Google search does. I already froze my google account and protected my privacy. Google advertising sites are not safe and these phishing sites use the Google ads for promotion.

Yes, they use google ads and google doesn't care if its a phishing site. Not just with those kind of sites but also there are scam sites like HYIP and cloud mining that have been using google ads to boost their search results.
Many are disappointed on how google is tackling this issue, looks like they are not serious with the community's concern.

Actually this kind of strategy is very obvious and totally fake and in fact this is the common strategy of some scammer to catch some fish around the internet, wherein they just provide a big amount in order to convince ppl to join and to put money on it easilly and then will disappear afterwards. Lol

if someone fell on this kind of manner then they're very stupid and noobs.!

Everyone knows it, but to avoid phishing website is pretty hard, also for the advanced users.
They are using a fake website with a special spot that you don't even have to see.

Nothing complicated. Just look carefully at the address of the site to which you go. Better yet, add to your browser bookmarks the desired sites and go only through them.

Pay attentions with the site to make sure you are not going to fall into any phishing attempts, and yes if you can do bookmarks the site to make sure you are safe with the one that you'll going to open make sure to do that, it's best to keep yourself safe as you are dealing with your money and your protections with your personal identities.

Thanks for this and I think many people especially newbies needs to see this and learn. Also, bookmarking the legit website on first visit (which is gotten from the team) is a good way of keeping away from phishing. Another good way is asking the team for the right link when in confusion.

Scams like this are very disturbing to many people. And I think already a lot of people are stuck in a scam. This site offers a pretty good profit but you don't get tempted. Stay alert to all potentially fraudulent sites.

This is essentially for those who are new to the space, that they do not fall prey to cheap scams. The above ad seem to be very popular on facebook, a mimic, requesting you to fill the form and make some deposits to claim your rewards. That's is the scam part. The legit site is https://www.coinmama.com/ and NOT coinmama.com.ru. I am sure those who made deposit will not get anything out of it as it obviously mimicking another popular site. Just be careful.
Any contrary opinion is welcome for discussion pls.

I also noticed that most of scams are now in the form of giveaways. When I look at Binance twitter account, it's full of those scammers comments that testify using their fake accounts claiming they have received a lot of bitcoin or whatever coin is popular and they even pop up in CZ's twitter account. Those scammers know ICO or airdrop is not going to give them free money anymore so this is the best that they can do and that is the promo and giveaway scams.

I don't think it's difficult to avoid phishing, just don't open a website that isn't clear where it comes from, and install an antivirus on your cellphone or computer, then everything is safe

Always watch out of any kinds of phishing. Sometimes, phishing and scam really bring very nice ideas, from popular sites, with very worthy rewards. However, we must be more careful. Always check and recheck all information related to the promotion, programs, and also rewarding activities in order to avoid phishing and scams.
This information is very important and thanks to letting us know about it early Wink

My mail is almost every time spammed with different messages containing links, which are most times called unsolicited messages.
If you cannot remember and confirm where it is coming from, it is better to just ignore it, because it might be a phishing site.

To tell you my experienced, last month was a hell for me. I accidentally click referal lnk from a certain user in the gambling site account without thinking how risky to register on that website. One day has passed and my account was hacked. A lesson learned from that experienced. Always set 2fa in all important sites and do not click any websites without checking the real url link.

Now that bitcoin price rise yes is a risk that more more scam attempt will appear, but if people will verify always the site they enter they will see if is legit or no and if don't know better ask here before sending any coins to unknown webiste.

This is one of the most scariest thing that may possibly happen to anyone.

According to the Webroot Threat Report, nearly 1.5 million new phishing sites are created each month and according to Intel, 97% of people around the world are unable to identify a sophisticated phishing email.

Awareness and readiness are important to counter this kind of risk.

1. Keep Informed About Phishing Techniques

2. Think Before You Click!

3. Install an Anti-Phishing Toolbar

4. Verify a Site’s Security

5. Check Your Online Accounts Regularly

6. Keep Your Browser Up to Date

7. Use Firewalls

8. Be Wary of Pop-Ups

9. Never Give Out Personal Information

10. Use Antivirus Software

I agree with doing all the necessary steps for protecting our personal details from phishing sites. It is not ethical to use social engineering methods for tricking other people and take their hard-earned money. Personal information is treated as a digital good and it is expensive nowadays.

Well, anyone who is wise should already know that this is a huge scam. First of all they claim. To be giving away free cryptos and then they tell those who register to deposit money before they are given their free cryptos… so how does that even make any sense. You tell someone to register so they can get a free crypto, then you expect them to then deposit and after depositing, they will be given free crypt is and they can then withdraw their money and the free money as well… that just doesn't make any sense. And btw… free air drops should be asking people to first of all deposit money before they are given anything. That's why I don't even show interests to things like this, not to talk of giving any information about myself to them.

Always we need to check the domains what we are entering into to save our login info and also bookmarking them will save us.

Still we need to do lot like use the browser with high security and never use any browser from Cheetah mobile which steals all the user details and selling them.
