Everyone has to be very careful about giving information over internet.
Don't tell me that you agreed to give them credentials? What if that wallet was real link to MEW, would you give them info?
Please say no.

I received a mail today asking me to complete KYC verification for kentra airdrop

Ok no problem!! but while completing the registration i was ask to confirm my eth address and they provided a link where i should validate my eth address.

link == https://bit.ly/2y5s8Mi

The link (https://bit.ly/2y5s8Mi) led me to == https://myethérwállét.com/signmsg.html which was definitely a scam MEW site.

Note they weren't asking for key, but also providing an option were you can check your address balance or whatever  Undecided using your key.

GUYS JUST BE CAREFUL SCAVENGERS ARE EVERYWHERE. Do not give out your key for any reason whatsoever



Thanks  



Thank you for information. This kind of email now too much. I'll never open a strange email.

You shouldn't have posted the links. Newbies would probably be clicking on that and then it might be stored on their browser history, and they might accidentally return to it later.

Just don't participate in airdrops that land in your email. If you REALLY want them, seek them out and then access from official websites. Email links are a big no-no, whatever the reason.

Actually this airdrops are from the forum. Just that they asked for email and later they send these messages. asking you to verify shit..

Sometimes i do go to all those email links just to have knowledge of their nefarious activities and how to avoid them and also block the site in my browser.

but before clicking a link i do a quick check using Virustotal

Thats why i never click links from my airdrop email and first go to project page or ask in telegram or discord. Also i never pass KYC for airdrops and of course - all pages bookmarked and my pk - just for my transactions. So many scammers everywhere, everything has to be checked twice.

wrong section, move your topic to Web Wallets
the "move topic" button is located on bottom left of your page.

I think this has less to do with web wallets and more to do with scams. Just happens to be a scam that try to trick the mark into thinking they are using a web wallet.
yea you are definitely correct. 
it seems there are some errors that you input when you want to see the contents of your wallet is not it? when you submit your key address that is wrong they may have tricked you into KYC and this seems to be a concern for others to read more in detail.
The idea is never use your key unnecessarily, use your key only when you want to perform a transaction and always be cautious.
Read every details and book MEW website.

Better still access MEW webpage through your bookmark

This 'kentra', is it the team sending incorrect links?
is your email in an open bounty google doc?
or did they get hacked? seen that an awful lot lately, hackers accessing their mail server or something and sending out addresses for bonuses etc..  Shocked
seriously it's awful, i think they might have got that from the open google form.
