I just checked the forum fanbitcoin and it was shocking to see all the posts of this forum are reflected on that one. Fortunately, I checked this thread before registering on that website.

Check out this website:
www.bitcointalk. xyz
Is this domain redirecting to this website? Or is it a phishing page?

Yes, it is very likely a phishing site.

bitcointalk.xyz
fanbitcoin.com
bitcoin-forums.net

(link removed so that you won't click)

The third one used to be in Google search till recently. It was removed from the first page (at least to me) only a few weeks ago.

All pages, profiles, etc. are copied and shown. Exact replica. Only every bitcointalk.org is replaced by their domain name.

I had accidentally entered my password on one of the site a few months ago, before I became aware of it. Had changed it of course, but did not see any suspicious activity even after a couple of days not changing (probably got lucky Wink Not an easy target, I login almost every day). Had tried to log in, thinking that I was signing into bitcointalk.org, lol.
Ndnhc, your quote still contains the link posted by OP Sad
Please remove it or there may be someone clicked on it by mistake Sad
BTW these sites have been discussed here many times, and although they are not confirmed scamming, they are close to scam.

I think it is a phishing site. It is not redirecting anymore. Be careful opening this site.

It's been discussed before here. I don't think anyone really knows what the site is for, but obviously I wouldn't recommend logging in on that site if it is indeed a phishing site rather than just a mirroring site for traffic.

It's not harmful if you open that link but you shouldn't login with your info. Probably it won't hash your passwords and site owner can see what you type in password area.

You write a suspicious link and you want us to check is it a phishing page, are you serious?
I think it's not official and could be harmful. Don't click that link guys!
Mr. Dumb I came across that link today only while browsing through google search.And the others should know about it too.

most likely a phishing site. but not 100%

It's not mine. Leeching traffic for ads, phishing, malware, or maybe just bypassing China/Russia's ban of the forum. I strongly recommend not logging in there in any case.

^ that's the real theymos, by the way.

edit:
I suggest you remove the "www." on your post so that people won't click it by accident.
