Another phishing website running by the same group of people who are stealing money through electrum phishing sites. I have seen almost similar case few weeks earlier and if i am not wrong then the same owner is running this phishing site. No doubt that on first look its hard to catch the difference between original and fake domain and visitor do mistakes due to this reason. Entire website is nothing but a clone copy where this scammers are looking for newbies who have less knowledge about phishing scam.

I will suggest our forum newbies like always to keep distance from this type of phishing sites and do not forget to check the url properly. Bookmark the real website address and use that when you need.

Scammers are creating these phishing websites to easily scam newbies investors, because now a lot of new investors are coming to the crypto market so that they can fall prey to such phishing websites. These scammers continue their activities as before, it seems to me that their activities have increased more than before. So now you have to refrain from sharing any information related to wallet on any website. You have alerted many crypto users by exposing this phishing website.

It is here that newbies can realize that when we access a phishing site, the domain will look the same as the point above, it will not be seen if we are not careful, whereas if we copy and paste the domain will be very different, this needs to be distinguished, of course, new investors will encounter this. like this because they always use every wallet they need.

So I think these scamers are a little clever and hopefully with this site there are no victims because the OP has caught it early, maybe we should immediately report it to the domain so that this site will be closed immediately.

Like what I reported before it was still active and the phishing site looked like it could still be accessed even though I had reported it to Namecheap.

This time I will report again about the new walletconnect phishing that was just created one day ago in the domain that looks the same as before, but if you examine it it looks different.

I will reveal again here.

Pay attention again when doing a search on google sometimes it shows the number 1 phishing site.

So in my opinion it is much safer to store URLs in borkmark so that they are safer when accessing them again compared to searches on google engines.
