Title: KeepStake - SCAM ! Fake Myetherwallet site to steal your privatekeys !
Post by: Mirae on December 05, 2018, 05:23:13 PM
What happened: Got an email from KeepStake claiming that I need to "Verify Ownership" of my ETH address to start getting their tokens/dividens. The link in email led to https://keepstake.io/ownership-verification/, which then leds to https://msg.mỵethėrwạllet.com/sign-message.html , which is clearly a fake one, as you can see that the main domain of theirs is not even configured https://mỵethėrwạllet.com/ (the e is ė)

Any links that asked you to verify ownership with links that are untrusted can be considered a scam site, we are not foolish here they can only victimized newbies, but if you study how you can protect your funds, this is a big no no, glad they are reported here.

Yep. It seems blatant enough that their entire site is made to lure people into visiting this phishing site, and hand over their private keys unsuspectingly. It essentially also renders their entire project a scam.

These types of phishing sites, especially for MEW is actually quite common. I've probably seen at least 10 of these scattered around different scam accusation threads.

Whenever you are told by a site that you do not fully trust, or don't know of to go to an external financial site, make sure you verify that the site you are visiting is legitimate, and not an impersonator. Especially when the site you're told to go to is asking for private keys, passwords, etc. Never hand it over.
