Another of the Metamask phishing site, but this one, it's very simply, Lol, and it's not as clean as the other fake sites. Maybe the scammers get's sloppy and in a hurry to release it.

This should be shared to all those who are going to use metamask to avoid getting phished by these scammers. Even bookmarking the real sites could lead you to trouble too even the copy paste system where a malware hacks your clipboard. Instead of pasting the original site or link but it will paste the fake one same as the address.

This is great news and strategy for newcomers the number of counterfeits is increasing due to the increasing demand for crypto it will keep various websites safe while using them and is a new strategy to avoid hackers. Fraudsters use this method to steal information from people by setting up a well-established website phishing is usually done via email and instant messaging fraudsters also deceive their victims and take them to their websites the website mimics the look of the original website of the concerned user's email bank or credit card.

If you are not at all attentive you will easily fall for this clone website. Metamask has been subjected to numerous scams using clone website or apps in the past. I once in the past thought that Metamask has a mobile app untill someone pointed out that it does not in this forum.

Beware of such scams and always check this board if you want to stay updated for the latest scams.

Nice catch OP. Isn't this supposed to be in the scam accusations board?
I think that's the place most people search when they are locking for scam or malicious websites.

I have reported the website to google safe browsing. Anybody else interested can do the same - https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/?hl=e

Thanks for reporting it, however, I felt it's appropriate to post it here as newbies never frequented scam accusations board until they themselves got scammed already.

@libert19 - yes not typo whatsoever, that's why this trick is very dangerous, plus the *.io extension, it will really look credible to a newbie or beginner.

From the latest statistics, the number of phishing sites skyrocketed in 2020. This is due to general home quarantine. The number of Internet services is increasing every day, and fraud is also growing.
https://hostingtribunal.com/blog/phishing-statistics/

Perhaps we all need to get used to the realities of life, and all sites that are significant to us need to add to our browser favorites. The browser can create several profiles, which can be appointed to different needs. As a result, all sites that are on your bookmarks will be ranked. Using bookmarks is much safer than typing a site in a search engine, where there is a real danger of getting to a phishing site.

Yes, this is very dangerous site and really needs to be taken down.

The real website is: https://metamask.io/

And what makes this dangerous is that it the name is very close to the real one, so it's easy to be trap on this. I also reported it google's safe browsing. Did anyone notice though after you send the report:

Report Sent

Thanks for sending a report to Google. Now that you've done your good deed for the day, feel free to:

1. Take a second to rejoice merrily for doing your part in making the web a safer place.

So I do hope that anyone reading this will do a good deed by reporting it so that it will be taken down asap.

Good site. all the spelling is good unless you know the extension then you can say that it is fake.

I think high chances that many will going to fall for it. Imagine the spelling of the site is completely the same with the original wallet site. However, since it all being reported and shared here then i guess some of the members now can be aware. Not all but at least. This is the important of raising awareness so that everbody could not fall for any trap in the likes of the phishing site.

The Metamask phishing site is increasingly prevalent, not just metamask with other names, the scamer is always made the same as asking to log in with 12 keywords from the wallet so that you can control after entering it, oh god the scamer doesn't get tired if my prayer is granted then turn off the scamer .

This is very appropriate to share on this board because on average here newbie users will know if they want to use metamask so check and be careful before entering their private password.

Wow. Someone who is not as attentive and not as knowledgeable in these matters as you are will certainly fall into this trap. As soon as a new wave of interest from users arises in the cryptocurrency space, new tricks immediately arise from hackers. Thanks for posting this.

I just want to share this, I was looking for a Atomic Wallet (atomicwallet.io) when I got to chance and see a fake metamask.
