This scammer's are running advertisement on google and trying to get crypto users on their phishing website. They have two different newly created domain and both redirect to same website. I will suggest everyone to keep proper distance from this phishing wallet.


Note: Please double check the domain address carefully during searching the blockchain wallet on google.

Advertising blockchain phishing sites is an ancient way, but indeed many people are trapped entering the site. The thing we have to pay attention to not to get caught in a phishing site is to check the domain on that site again. one of my friends is also a victim of a scam from a wallet phishing site

The best way to prevent this is to open the wallet by the link in the firts mail you received from blockchain.com.

There are some people who get busy while entering in the web wallet and forget to check important things like domain name, and the consequences of their busyness can be realized later on by the victims of hacking. So before entering an important website like web wallet, you must verify the link well. And the best way to stay safe is to bookmark links to important websites, so that even if scammers target you, they won't be able to make you a victim.

Its common that scammers will take the advantage by using reputed platforms name and its nothing new. Such like this one many projects run continuous advertisement to get crypto oriented or specific wallet users attention. In this case we have to stay careful during searching the real website because most of the time you will get phishing site on the first place. If you don't check the URL address carefully then chances of getting scammed is definitely higher and no one can save you from that.

If you bookmark the real website in your browser then chances of visiting phishing website will be relatively lower. In some cases this phishing website owners use 99% similar looking domain where its hard to detect the difference between real and fake one.

Of course this reminds me of this important point and we have to be careful to see the links that must be clicked sometimes scamer likes to be sneaky when in a search on Google always the most phishing site arises so from that I will be more careful,

Good catch man. This reminds us all to be aware of it.

have all domains almost similar to "blockchain" taken already that they resorted to BLOTCKCHATIN? really?
this hackers must have been blaming the first people who tried phishing blockchain.com that they now have a hard time getting users to login thru BLOTCKCHATIN.

this is what should be done to avoid phishing victim. if you use blockchain.com (though not recommended) you'd rather be bookmarking your link so you won't have to click or write on you url nav that you might landed on the phishing link.

They are following different way which isn’t same like other phishing websites. Have you checked their websites other clickable options?  Except their login page other options will redirect anyone to real blockchain wallet's website. Actually they are trying to make their visitors believe that they are the real one and cleverly put their bait on login page.   

Even they are using 2 different domain which have similar frontend and both domain will redirect you to same website. I have already contacted them and sent an text with this thread link.

Lol, and even this is a very old trick of using blockchain as phishing site, it is still effective because people trust blockchain and as much as we always wanted to teach them to check everything, still they fall for this trap. So not just because it is ancient it will not be as effective in the current times. On the contrary it is more damaging as crypto space is growing big.

Still the name is phishing, there must be someone affected on the site even users who don't know will visit it on the link even though this is an old trick, they still know how to catch victims so use the blockchain name as bait.
On average, this phishing is always spread on social media or includes it on Google, the first is that the scamer is good, it's just that we have to know more about their tricks.
Hopefully there are no victims with this phishing site.
