The real site has alreayd verified, there is so many scammers are using duplicate to the my etherwallet to fooled the newbies or everyone. Let's take a look on idex. This time idex has been getting so many copycats from the scammer. Even the dex has copied by scammer and try to use fake url.

I think better use metamask and forgot about fear about your private key will be fished on some site. Actually, myeherwallet has such big security instruction before every login why people just don't follow them.

Yes be carefull everyone, better to bookmark the real url and use metamask if possible. Another thing dont click any emails with links, often these links is a phising site. If you got email from a project. Confirm it with the team before do a move. Carefull will be your key, your wallet is you responsibility.

New comers, kindly note

Another phishing site. I think the best way to avoid from these phishing sites is download the MEW offline files and run MEW in the local computer with no internet connection.

MEW already have the same warning when you visit their website.
You really have to check everything now because of those who creates phising websites.

This people will do anything just so they could scam others. I dont know how they can sleep at night knowing they are robbing someone.
Better be careful as always. Your private keys must be secured at all time.

This has been written about many times, but I will also answer that topic to UP.
 I think that it's necessary to make a whole section for various variants of scammers. Those who are closely connected with computer technologies in their activities are simply laughing and it's not clear for them - how one can get into such a trap.
 But don't forget that many people came to crypto investments from the real world without the Internet web. I think for some it will be really new information.

That's exactly what I'm doing.
And sometimes I use Metamask. And with different browsers. W/o system, as I please.

This warning is very important. We must pay attention to site security in every transaction. There are many malicious users who are fraudulent in this way.

thank you for the information and we must double check the URL before we do something like login or inputting our private keys to the site because once we input, then our private keys will be share to the owner of the sites and all tokens that we have can be stolen by him. so make sure that we double check the link and don't share our private keys to other people.
