Also this may not belong in collectables, but it’s the only part of the forum I frequent. Sorry if it needs to be moved.
It’s collectible related. When posts like this come up, I will usually post on two boards. Like I will post the main thread on here then in the scam section I’ll write something in the title like “Fake Privnote website once again” and then in the body of the post I’ll just write “see original post here” and provide a link. Sometimes posts should be in two places, and moderators have always been fine with it when it makes sense.
I remember when this happened originally. It popped up on google before the real site. These scammers are pretty decent.
Have you checked any of the address just to see how much money they’ve stolen so far? I’d be curious to see those addresses.
I went ahead and used this site and gave the following addy.....see from pic below....you can see what I placed and what was give are not the same just as OP mentioned.
Here is the balance of the one they gave

Also years ago there was another site impersonating privnote.....here is an article.
https://www.hackread.com/fake-version-note-sharing-site-privnote-com-steale-bitcoin/ Again...I say....I would send the btc addy to the person using two different channels.....
Example....if you want to use privnote that is fine and send thru forum. But I would also use another service totally different and send thru an email...discord or twitter...email...etc etc etc. Then I would compare the addys.
Another way.....if for any high amount...send $10 in BTC...confirm it has arrived then once that is done, send the rest.
