I never pay attention to such emails even i see official mail on sender's name. Hackers are developing new ways and there is no way to stop this emails completely. Guys,be careful about such scam emails and always check the site with 4 eyes. The dots are not viisble if you dont pay attention specially to url.  Bookmarking sites like wallet,exchange will save your a lot of time and protect your privacy from this scammers.

I do not respond to emails that redirects me to other sites or that requires some personal information from me. It is most likely that they are phishing sites so be careful.

I think common sense and tech savvy will prevent most people to fall for such scams. But youth and newbieness will have lots of people falling for them. So thank you OP.

I don't even open e-mails from unknown addresses, since there is a high probability of getting phished or catching a virus.
You must understand that your email has probably already been sold by unscrupulous companies. Always pay attention and you'll be fine.

there is no https protocol which is much easier to notice than these dots. An ssl-sertificate is a major security feature and google requires all the websites use it.

Scammer become smarter everyday. They will find a way to stole our money, so better becarefull and always bookmark the important site and using metamask, they always gave you a warning if you go into a phising site.

I often receive such type of fishing spam on my email and this is whom google should fight and ban , not the crypto advertise  >:( I wonder are there still many people who is buing this tricks ? I'd suggest everyone never open such type of mails , just mark it as spam and forget about it.

Thanks for the warning. I might as well check every website i go into. It's just that the number of scammers  keep increasing and increasing and it's very alarming. Hopefully no one falls in their tricks.

to be honest there are lots of emails coming from scammers, all of that must be phishing. various content of messages they often send, such as how to claim prizes, hardfork, ico offerings and others. if we do not know the sender's email, then do not ever respond and click the link they provide.

I've been scammed also but at least it's not about money but I indeed wasted time and efforts on some bounty campaigns that I thought they're real.
Monartis, Librium, Stockus are some of the bounty campaigns that under Sylons's management.
But I never blame Sylon for the unfortunate bounty campaigns but I need to move on and join another.

We all know this thing quite well that there are so many scammers around us and that all of them have only one objective and that is to look out for the ways using which they can snatch your money from your pocket without even letting you know. While being in this world, you need to be much careful while doing anything which involves your money as you never know what will happen with your money.

Thanks for the warning, scammers are continuing to get trickier and trickier to fool people in new ways.  Alongside not opening suspicious e-mails or files, now it's also a good idea to double check the URLs for suspicious symbols are typos in the link.

Thanks for the warning!
Yes, indeed, on the mail quite often come various letters from fake addressees. Often on behalf of well-known exchanges, wallets, projects - including those with which I myself work. Of course here it is very important to check everything several times:
1) Address bar,
2) Verify the addressee with past similar letters,
3) Check the news in official sources.
This is the minimum of the rules. And they do not protect in all situations. Nevertheless, it at least will save from obvious fakes.

I also received many unknow email address but i never click the link because i know some of them is just link phising, since my email publish in some bounty program, i received many emails that just want to phising me. So becarefull when click on the any link and make sure that link is correct, and better always login to personal wallet from bookmark link.

I believe ICANN expanded the selection of letters you can type into an address bar to include characters from the non-english alphabet.  This is why you are seeing scams like this. You need to stay on your toes people. 

Also, do not click links inside emails.  Always type an address in your browser, use 2FA when you can, and change passwords on a frequent basis and never use the same password on multiple accounts.

It's always happened which spam email that always tricking us to click their link even though it's clear that the email is from scam schemes. and they also provide false testimonials on it to easily catch people in easy ways auch airdrop and any crypto content . Always remember guys to decline it and Dont attempt to browse their link, 'cause it contains risk always which is there's a chance those scammer can get our private information ..

Thanks for this, but people need to be extra conscious with the links and websites the visited, since the team of some ICOs messed up with the email I used for whitelist, I have been receiving email of this nature, so what I do always before acting on any email is to confirm from the telegram or twitter page if there is any information of such

Well, of course it's easy to talk about security when your browser warns you. But when there are no such tips, you need to be prepared for such situations

There are a lot of scams in the realm of crypto now. We must be very careful. Beginners in crypto should be especially attentive. They have little experience and they often believe in such "tempting" proposals.

I just went to your site. But I think your site is not related to finding scam site.
It's more like a list of coins or token. Same as a Coinmarketcap site.

I just also wanted the members in this forum to know that Denaro ICO that just ended their ICO and it's bounty campaign that is being managed by Needmoney is a scam.
I am one of the participants of that Denaro Bounty Campaign that just ended 3 weeks ago but then the ICO teams were suddenly vanished and they brought over $10 million investments with them.

in my case, I dont usually access my MEW wallet through private keys because I turn my private keys into a paper that every time I want to access it I must type one by one character and I don't execute copy paste to avoid hijacks and other remote attacks.
and also, I only access myetherwallet.com is trough my chrome bookmark so I will not type it incorrectly.

Thanks for the great information you just shared rite now in the forum. You already assist many members of the forum who would have fall for this cheap scam. People are really desperate and never ready to work, that's the major reason why they are moving to ripping other people's wealth which they worked hard to earn. Guys, be careful, and check every email you get accordingly and avoid clicking all url link you are not sure about. Thanks
