where they know we have wallet on MEW? even we don't put email on MEW and to be sure sending pishing site to email

You are yourself giving your emails and MEW addresses when you start applying in all these fake airdrops.
Most of the bounty hunter think even the token is scam, they are free they are not losing money but in reality they are making themselves susceptible to these kind of attack. (giving your MEW address + email address.)

Yes, Myetherwallet doesn't use any email. So if you see mail from MEW, this is 100% fake that hackers has sent to you for hacking your MEW. Myetherwallet.com LLC will show green from Firefox but you can see it is not so.

You should resize your images in the OP and your other posts in the topic with the width option, like this (I chose width=400, but you can choose whatever figure you think appropriate for your OP). Width=300 looks better.

There's a lot of phishing website like that. Also, some of the emails they used are from those airdrop forms before that are asking for an email address (very popular last 2017 bull run).

You can also avoid that kind of phishing website by installing some browser extension. Like Metamask or EtherAddressLookup.

Look what is the result when I tried to access phishing website:

Automatically blocked the phishing website by Metamask extension.

You can check this thread of mine for more information how to identify and avoid phishing websites: [GUIDE] Use this for identifying Scam/Phishing/ Websites & Exchanges in Crypto
There's a lot more tool on that thread to prevent and avoid some phishing websites.

To reduce the number of vectors for #phishing attacks, MEW never emails users first.

Not only that – with the proper #cybersecurity measures in place, we are able to block hundreds of thousands of fake-MEW emails PER WEEK from ever reaching our users.

MEW Twitter account keep updated their users.

Visit sites only after reading URL and checking Alexa.

This is a very useful warning. Most of us and especially newcomers don't have much experience with crypto, often clicking unsafe links are emailed. Another thing is that hackers are very sophisticated when creating fake web pages that are very similar to the original website. If you don't pay attention, you will be tricked.

So it is best to ignore all unsolicited emails, always save the addresses of the websites you visit. Use reputable virus browsing software to protect your assets.

Remember: MEW do not have your email address. Please ignore all of these Email

Most of the community user received this email today..... All are fake guy's! Don't fall in trap.

Hahaha email name is definitely not an automated one but an email created by one, linking your NEW wallet to some site is a no-no.
Giving email and receiving email is natural for everyone but using email to connect your wallet? Only stupid person would do that.

Yes I also got a lot off mail from scamers. I think if any one get this kind mail ignore it. Otherwise contact with the dev team. If they say anything positive then follow the mail or if its negative don't even open it.

Don't go to MEW every time when someone asks you to do it. Don't open it using any links, especially in e-mails.

You can always check whether you got any new tokens WITHOUT entering your private key: use etherscan.io or telegram bot @ETHtokenExplorer_bot. They will not ask your private key, you will be able to check your balance entering only your public address.

I personally prefer @ETHtokenExplorer_bot as it sends me notifications once I recieve some tokens.

Yes, you are right. But as a bounty hunter i have to give my email in different bounty campaign.

There are certainly situations where you can't help but to display it publicly Cry

which is why it's better to organize your emails. In short make a separate email account per purpose e.g. ABC account for personal use, BCD account for 50/50 situations where you feel you'll be spammed etc...

P.S. If my memory serves me right, I have 6 email accounts lol.

...or you could simply use a throwaway Email aka temp-main for these purposes!
there are quite a lot of them out there, there is one that i like called https://temp-mail.org/en/ which also has a nice API service which you can use!

also i believe Email providers like Yahoo and Google allow you to do something like that. i don't remember how since i used it a very long time ago but it was inside your inbox and similar to your Email.
so lets say your Email is [email protected], your temp main could be [email protected] and you could discard the temp one whenever you wanted.

I didn't received this kind of email though. Anyway, If you are publicly displaying your email address on some social media platform or you are subscribing to a bunch of unknown email subscription, then you are most likely to receive spam emails.

I suggest reading some of the articles here:

https://www.google.com/search?q=how+do+spammers+get+email+addresses
https://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+prevent+spam+emails

Essentially, you should be fine as long as you don't click any unknown/suspicious emails.

Another example:

This one actually convinced me to click on the link. The information is quite accurate (Julia Baldina is actually an accountant for TradePlayz) and, even worse, I do participate in their bounty campaign. Also, my email is known to them.

Be careful guys. Sometimes the scams are obvious, but other times those people put quite some work into them.

Just further Emoon's post, guys remember to always check who the certificate is issued to whenever you login to an exchange. Fake sites often times have a certificate assigned so you will sometimes still get the green lockpad icon, but just with a fake URL.

Lets not give these bastards some of our precious BTC and Ether that we worked hard for and stressed so much for.

Thanks for spreading the word on these fake sites Emoon
