A lot of this scams are popping in high numbers right now because altcoin market is having a bull run of their own.

And that's why scammers are also very quick on creating a lot of fake websites to trap and fall for this scheme. It will be a pity if someone fall for this and I do hope that one one will be a a casualty here.

Its right that due to altcoin market move scammers are planting their scam traps to make them fool who are relatively new in crypto world. Most concerning thing is that without experienced users only a few amount of people will be able to detect the difference between real domain and the phishing one. Even i am pretty much sure that without looking at the domain deeply anyone will find this (,) below the letter (l). During first visit visitors will take it as the official website and definitely they will start to run after fake community rewards.

This is why i usually suggest our community users to make a habit of using the bookmark feature of their browser which will help them to stay far from phishing or clone websites.
