This is indeed a scam I lost 24ETH today because of this stupid hardfork. Be careful about it guys.
Sorry to hear about that. I feel you man.
Do you have a tx id to prove this?

Agree. They are definitely scammer while asking people for private key.

When we want to get the forked bitcoin then we need the private key to get it. Isn't it should work the same for Ether network? Move all the coins to a new wallet before creating a wallet for ETCV.
PS: I am not saying Ethereum Classic Vision is a scam nor saying legit. I still have not done any research about it.

I don't think you need any research, this is the link of their official wallet : https://etcvwallet.com/

Now they have this site https://etcv-wallet.com/ ( its open when u click WEBWALLET link on https://ethereumcv.io/#wallets )
Its scam or not??
This is not completely proven to be a scam, although there are many signs that says it is.
What proofs do you need?Launched wallet, got caught, domain suspended, another wallet launched.
let's see what will happen tomorrow i tried to sell account or get loan for it i received a lot of negative feedback but they can't do it for the guys who scam for millions of dollars (scam ) not even accusation like me
Who are "they" and what this has to do with scam accusation?Thanks. I wait one more and will red all of them. I'm so tired with spammer/ scammer/ stealer.... "stealer" is the good word for that one. How many n00b will get steal again ? is that normal ?
theymos can't be everywhere I know, but his forum is used for so many scam.. it's a shame.
Never reveal your private key to any newly forked blockchain. We will know by tomorrow whether it is a scam or not. 
I'm surprised so many members are promoting this and it's creating a big noise here, their fork is going to happen tomorrow and we'll read more update after the fork, they have a good number of members in their channel and admins are very active, more to watch on this fork.

Hi elite comminity's elite admin's elite users have nice night 😀😁💓
stop spam the forum with always the same post. You get my red.
Report in here as well in case it's needed:
I archived the page in here earlier http://archive.is/pp8Sd it may have saved that part of the code as well. I'm on the phone and cannot check.

We already said it.
But be very careful with them.
It could just be an eth token rather than phishing for private keys
Can you please make sense of that part?
What does it have to do with an eth token?
Menhn this is really outrageous, I visited their twitter page this evening and I get the error message that the page is restricted this has really proof it to be a scam after all.
Their main wallet is banned, so you don't have to think about it and guess if it's a fraud or not, everyone knows it's a scam! It's a pity if people have entrusted their private keys with coins in their wallet.
Yeah I think too but you know it's better when old DTs tagged them. And better is when admin delete thread. As i said i'm not 100% sure, maybe 99.99% yes.
edit: asche already did...but it is positive 
This was a legit stupid misclick. Corrected thanks to you.
In fact there's only one hard fork but without new coin. Eth will be ETH, nothing new.
Exactly!I can't believe so many people fell for this. It's Ethereum after all, people should know better, read the news, etc!
In the last 10 days, I have seen many people wear their avatars and signatures, in fact, there are more than 600 people who have signed up and taken part in their signature campaign... this is madness! I hope the number of people who might have lost their private keys is not that big.
Someone should tag ethclassicvision - the campaign manager.
