this is the reason why i use the "add to Favorites" function of chrome, to avoid such pishing site completely
yeah im agree with you Amph it is better to have a save in the bookmarks it is very important to avoid phising site.  Nowadays we cannot trust by searching of site cause sometimes there are more  stupid making clone site. .anyways thanks for this awareness

Thank you for the information. I tried searching bittrex on google but i didnt find that add on it. I guess people would have reported it and so it would have been removed. Users should be more careful while dealing with such issues. We should always have a look at the URL whether we are on the right website or not.
The best thing to do would be bookmarking the website and adding the bookmark on the bar below the address bar. By doing so, we save time and have an assurity to be on the right website.

Honestly i think Google is partially to blame here as well. They can clearly see someone is impersonating the domain yet wants to throw money at it for an ad. I assumed they had filters against that sort of BS.

They are to blame.
They aren't check the links the person is using for their adsense service.
Which they should have a dedicated quality assurance department to look at these type of things from happening.
Alot of people use their search engine so they have the responsibility to look after their customers who view their site and use it for their searches.
Wouldn't you agree? Embarrassed

This is why I keep saying we need some form of crypto legislation to ensure consumer protection in the crypto world.

this has nothing to do with crypto, if instead of bittrex there was the name of your fiat bank account, it would be the same, people need to be more alert and aware of the dangers of the network

you are the best security you 'll ever have

No, I do not think it is needed a 'regularisation" ... it will destroy the concept of all the cryptoCurrency world. We only should to know what 'we are doing' that's all!


I know that some people do not have some knowledge, and this is the problem here... however thanks to the OP for the warning.

Bittrex phishing warning

Hi all Traders,
Please be careful to avoid loss


wow, the phishing site is on google adsense space right? Shocked
so the phishing site's owner pay google ads to scam us, that's crazy move i think. Soon as user send phising report to google, they will remove it.
That's why i always use speed ail feature from my browser to access many exchange link instead using google or address bar to access exchange link
Thanks for friendly information about this, hope we all don't loose our money to phishing site like this

It happens very rarely that google adsense allows phishing sites but they also check on it very fast just after few reports and it was already removed.

I'm guessing it's AdBlock, sadly I don't use it, I have sympathy for publishers :p
I already see that the advert is removed
Yeah....I do know that. You can easily report a phishing scam

Since when does google allow putting in another url than the real target url? Oo

How is that possible ?? As far as im seeing it has the same name www.bittrex.com or am i blind? I didnt know it was possible to fake that thing

The URL looks the same but check the lower left of the image, the real url is different.

Yeah , Surprised here as well. I recently saw similar post about another website, but even the url was different. In this case the URL shown is correct. However, I couldn't verify as I didn't see the ad accessing through google.com.
Can't we report such things to google, to fix ?

You can:
https://www.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/
https://support.google.com/adsense/troubleshooter/1190500?hl=en

The 2nd link will get that ad removed.

Thanks for the heads up OP, I think it will help some newbies stay away from that phishing link.
I have ad-blocker and it hides a lot of crap.
