So again, just a reminder specially for newbies and not so newbies to check everything first, before creating any wallet and transferring funds on it.

I have learned this a while ago although it isn't foolproof, you need to check the official Twitter account of the wallet to insure that you are on the right site, this is what I did with Metamask to make sure that I am not on a phishing site, anyway good catch OP.

The domain or site cannot harm anymore it is now marked as a phishing site, glad that it's reported early, but there's a possibility that they can still set up again, they will just a domain and use the same script.

This showing by using any kind of extension in browser or just in a normal browse?

Most provably if I am not you are using extension in your browser. Because just I try to visit with phone and it does not show kinds of error or phishing warning.

# Always be serious when you download any wallet. It’s very sensitive. For a little mistake you can lose your whole life earnings. So be serious guys.

I think he is using Metamask ETH Phishing Detect as browser extension.

We have to report this sites, that the least we can do to: https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/?hl=en

And thanks again OP, this is a good catch.

That website is still up, I suggest every one give just like less than 5 minutes of their time and report this to Google so that it will be taken down ASAP. That is the least thing we can do to clear the crypto space from this scammers and criminals.

I've sent an email already to the domain register as well, so let's hope that they will respond with a take down as well.

Reported to Google Safe Browsing (https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/?hl=en).

It probably took no more than 10 seconds making that report, so there's really no reason you shouldn't as well. Your action could save someone from losing their savings or worse.
