Title: Scam Alert! status-token.com
Post by: crypto77 on December 05, 2017, 06:46:35 PM
There is a site called status-token.com. This is a scam site which says that there is an airdrop of SNT and asks for MEW private key. Once he gets the private key, he takes whatever you have in your wallet. Then every few days, he sells some of the tokens.

He currently has $470k worth of stolen tokens in his wallet.

See this page for his wallet -  https://etherscan.io/address/0x4bf722014e54aeab05fcf1519e6e4c0c3f742e43#tokentxns

And also see the comments on etherscan.io.

I know this is a scam because I lost a lot of money. I was naive that I gave him my private key.

The site is hosted in Russia and the domain name is also registered in Russia.

Is there a way to get the tokens back?

Thank you.

Sadly, there is no way to get your tokens back :(

That's the world of crypto, be your own bank. For the good and the bad side, you don't have any insurence, so if you get stolen, it's all for you.

Thanks for sharing this, let's hope nobody else will get caught.

Sorry for your loss  :-\ Almost everyone here has been already scammed, at least once

There is no way but to ask them, but it is impossible for them to return your money, all you have to do is pray (if you believe in god). Pray to be given more peace and rizki.
thanks for this very helpful information, many people are saved thanks to this thread
