Just a quick update, this website is already offline, so thanks to those who have reported it and make the community clean again, and I think everyone should appreciate it.
But it was just the beginning, I know it's going to be a tough road, but at least some of us are doing their part, whether newbies or experienced members of this community. And hopefully, no one fell victim from it.
Topic: [Warning]: Phishing Stake.com Giveaway (Read 209 times)
It'd be nice if there was a community-driven thread (Or datadump) thats easily maintained of all phishing attempts with relevant information to streamline this process and keep everyone else informed.
This section is dedicated for the same along with many other scams that get reported, all by the community itself and thus a fair judgement of the products. Reporting phishing sites has been made newbie-friendly in many threads here and it needs a little bit of practice from any one and then its a piece of cake.It is why newbies should get accustomed to this section of the forum, useful in keeping track of ongoing reports.
True, I think this is the dedicated board for everything that is scam related.
Although there is a request to make this board more tidy in the future, with this scams being found, or open be in a separate board for easy viewing. But it's up to the mods to the that and it has been discussed many times already.
So now for, specially for newbies, to make it a habit to visit this board not just to avoid scams, but also help the OP to report this fake and scammy sites so that it will be taken down immediately.

Probably its only the hosting, later we will see it will be up again, or another similar domain with different numbers lol. But yeah, i hope people won't be tired reporting this shitty bastards to loss all their investments buying domains and hosting servers lmao.Couldn't agree more! Once Ive been informed of a phishing attempt in any form where we can submit a takedown request, I action it pretty quickly. They're usually taken down promptly.

Websites like these pop up everyday and get posted on stinky corners of the internet and social media to lure out newbies who are gullible enough to fall for them. Although the stake hack and theft has got nothing related to this, apart from raising Stake's moniker on news media once again after the primedice hack, people should be careful what they are stepping into.
Of course the more famous you are on crypto the more scams will happen impersonating you. So if any newbie reads this, the above mentioned site is a scam and should be avoided and that new "friend" of yours on telegram should be blocked (why even bother reading their message?
)
Reported the same from my side, hope everyone else follows suit.

Now hackers are taking advantage again, with this so called giveaways to attract potential vicitims. And even uses the face of Dana White.
These are more like script kiddie scammers than hackers, well they do have much in common so its still count. Maybe some of them started at a young age, at their parent's basement and then grow up to be that criminals, who knows. So doesn't matter if this looks like script kiddie scammers. They are just all the same in my eyes.

But yeah, i hope people won't be tired reporting this shitty bastards to loss all their investments buying domains and hosting servers lmao.It's good that this has been taken down already. At least the domain registrar works with this report. But I do agree that this will continue and hopefully there will be a lot of like the OP who will give us the warning and for all we know, we really care about this kind of members. They help sanitize the market and with the bull run just around the corner, this scammers are going to create more phishing websites for sure.

Nice catch, the funny thing here is that they're using Dana White's picture and he's probably not even talking about Stake here and I have to say that this is probably the most random picture of him, talking in a talkshow. I have to say though, they've got the most legitimate looking website if you don't look at their URL, scammers are getting more and more meticulous in their schemes now huh? Imagine if they've just find a web developing job, they seem to be proficient at doing that part.
Maybe the scammers are in a hurry to create this website, and so they think that it's good if they put a picture of Dana White. But we all gamblers know that Dana has no connection to Stake, although Dana is a big gambler, but I haven't seen him going into crypto based gambling sites to bet. He loves to go face to face on table in a traditional land based casino.
True, scammers is also very meticulous in choosing website names. At least it's should look at the site that they are trying to impersonate. And this domain registrar are willing to help them as long as they are getting paid by this criminals. Yes, if this will just used their talents in somewhere else that will not include scamming and stealing someones money. But it is what it is though. There are those kind of people in the world.

Nice catch bro!
This is a warning to all of us that we have to be careful, sometimes there are always phishing sites that spread it on other social media in the hope that the scammers will get a number of victims.
I see the phishing site is no longer active. That's good.

What Happened: Scam/Phishing Stake Giveaway website
Obviously, Stake has been a target, recently we all know that the breached, amounting to a lost of $40 million.
Now hackers are taking advantage again, with this so called giveaways to attract potential vicitims. And even uses the face of Dana White.
A month has passed since this theft incident happened to the Stake platform last September. They have already resumed all their services after the security breach and processed deposits and withdrawals, and the platform has returned without any affected customers. What I see from this phishing site is that it has nothing to do with the previous incident. But it is targeting the Stake communities and attracting casino players to this phishing site to lure them with a considerable sum of money, estimated at $50M, to participate in the giveaway and to securely connect their wallets after seeing the picture of Dana White. Unfortunately, phishing sites are created by fraudsters easily and at a low cost and are widely spread among players and investors. 1 out of 100 may fall into this scheme, so we must report them to the registrars of these domains. Anyway, thanks OPObviously, Stake has been a target, recently we all know that the breached, amounting to a lost of $40 million.
