Is there a resource for people so that people know how to avoid phishing sites?

Phishing is becoming the other of the day and it is getting rampant, just a little change in the website and someone might get phished. From experience, the best way to avoid this is by bookmarking the website, while in cases where we lost track of them, visiting either CMC is always the best shot and for projects that are yet to be listed on CMC, then the individual support groups should come handy.
About collecting payments before sending of reward; I think it's newbies that will fall for this, some even request private keys at least a friend was victim.
We should all be careful of the links we visit, as well as the information we release this is the internet many things are bound to happen.

I don't know why we haven't any legit Russian crypto project. Almost 99% of Russian projects are from the scammers. People should be aware of them. To get an Airdrop, no one should send any amount. Some shitty project asks a gas fee to distribute the Airdrop, such a lame move this is!

Good one make us aware of this I had fallen a victim with a dubious phishing site that almost left me heart broken so any information on how to tackle and prevent any future occurrence is totally welcomed

I fall for phishing sites everyday

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.

Demanding payments from participants is a No No and always a sign of scam, I believe this post will teach a lot lessons. We shouldn't be driven their Juicy offers that we give them our hard earned funds. Furthermore, the project's TG or discord group has always been the best place to get the right link so as to avoid Phishing.

Damn! Any airdrop asking one to pay is scam. Also, I usually advise crypto enthusiasts, don't just click any random site you come across, some will even install spyware to your device. Some sites will ask noobs for private key or keystore, in a bid to hack their wallets. Let's be guided please.
Well, a strong antivirus will prevent them from installing unimportant files to your computer if you know how to tweak your own computer. For sure newbies will always gonna fall to that part when the site starts asking their private keys. Anyway, the best way to prevent it is to not click on an unknown site or any site that seems to be dodgy, you will know it eventually if you are a computer geek.

Thank you so much for this, it is well known or even a big error to demand payment from people before rewarding them, I believe this post will serve a great deal to those new to this space.
Secondly, I have always adviced people to always visit website either by directly asking for the link from the admin in Telegram or by visiting CoinMarketCap then following the link from there, and afterwards bookmarking for safety reasons.

You are adults, you should understand that fraudsters never do anything in vain if they give something they ask in exchange for your personal data or other information, but this does not go without a trace.

A very simple trick of scammers, when they offer some profitable action on their sites or something similar, you should always remember that free cheese, only in a mouse trap and better such sites pass by. Especially if it's related to the cryptocurrency.

In fact, I also often remind my friends, to be more careful and see in detail before entering and filling in the data. A small example when entering a phishing site, typing an address of 1 letter (false) will be bad. Never be bored to warn to stay alert to many ways of scam. Thanks for the information. Of course I really hope this will be beneficial for all of us.

This is really a stupidity. How the hell facebook allowed such a scam, google ads as well as allow this. Newbie get trapped easily into this type and no one will get anything.

Just ignore such e-mails, and people that are trying to make you to contribute to something. Always do your own research and do not listen to anybody. You have the right to make your own decision, so just forget about those guys.

Thanks for information. Nowadays incidents of scam are rising with the market getting supported by the world. On a daily basis, I encounter such ads asking for signing up for airdrops or for dollars.
But I tend to avoid them simply as I do not have much time. Now I have become aware of such fishy activities of such projects. We must stand together against such projects.

The sad thing is they are using google ads nowadays and google is not doing anything important about it until it gets reported. Like they do not care themselves and let it be until it gets reported and they check the report, in reality it should be not getting advertised at first and google should not allow them to exist at all but they let the work done by the people and only check it if it is reported.
If it is not reported (unlikely) google wouldn't do anything about it. Which means you can put a phishing website to google advertisement anytime you want and google will allow you to exist until you get reported and you will make as much money as possible until you get banned. That means for a while all phishing websites are allowed and they are capable of getting money.
