Not your keys, not your coins!

These two last websites are phishing sites and you will get fake Electrum.

How to Safely Download and Verify Electrum. In OP, you told that you visited the official website of Electrum wallet, that is good. Additionally, please follow the guide and the warning on Electrum.org website. Download, verify wallet.

Quote

Warning: Electrum versions older than 3.3.4 are susceptible to phishing. Do not download Electrum from another source than electrum.org, and learn to verify GPG signatures.

Indeed, it's a phishing/scam/copycat website. My browser or one of its extensions is detecting it as scam.
Normally the site should be also reported into threads like this one ( https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/beware-on-active-phishing-electrum-websites-collection-list-updated-5126880 ), but I see it's unmaintained for years Sad

Maybe somebody else knows of a better maintained of (Electrum) phishing/copycat websites.

The rule is to not search, since SEO can trick now and then search engines into delivering malicious websites. Instead just go to electrum.org

LE: let's include those images for the others to see them (I've also made them a bit smaller)
