I just saw this post and I notice that it is on their local board so I think this must be posted in here for all of us to be aware of this. Heres the link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3052590.msg31427039#msg31427039 Title: Re: warning for all Post by: cissrawk on March 05, 2018, 10:00:44 AM A lot people found fake myetherwallet before, so i think people in here already know the different between fake and real myetherwallet site.
Quoted from myethwerwallet.com, in case if some people not read it before. How To Protect Yourself from Phishers Phishers send you a message with a link to a website that looks just like MyEtherWallet, EtherDelta, Paypal, or your bank, but is not the real website. They steal your information and then steal your money.

They highly implement the security check since it's a browser wallet, and should always check the URL and the website certificate. You'll know once you're on the fake when you notice the URL, and if it's suspicious.

Don't google for the exchange you'll be presented with phishing sites in the search results. And don't click on links in emails. Just use your bookmarks and you will be safe.

This is the best approach and it's what I do and advise too. It is safest bookmarking or saving the sites on one's homescreen. Besides, I would advise that people go through the CMC (coinmarketcap.com) if they aren't sure of an exchange or a coin to get its official web address. It helps that way and saves one the scam attempts and malwares.Don't google for the exchange you'll be presented with phishing sites in the search results. And don't click on links in emails.
