https://www.reddit.com/r/FunfairTech/comments/6o9gxv/beware_unofficial_group_invites_and_slackemail/Currently, there is a wave of phishing and fraud attempts targeting new people to the crypto space.
They are particularly targeting the Myetherwallet users buying tokens.
Myetherwallet and my Myetherwa11et or MyetherwaIIet may look different to you in this thread with this font. Now copy paste into your browser. A capital 'i' is all that's needed to appear legitimate.
Once you enter your username and password your account is compromised.
They are hitting users on Slack, Telegram, Reddit and many associated social sites.
DO NOT trust alerts from those sites, specifically direct messaging.
Funfair will only communicate through moderator authored Reddit (like this post - bitcoin-o-rama[M]), Bitcointalk and Discord posts or on the official blog, pinned telegram messaging through official group.
We will not contact you directly in a direct message and tell you to change anything to do with your webwallet access.
You should not be using a web wallet for your FUN tokens if you have a considerable amount.
Best practice for ERC20 tokens are Ledger and Trezor.
Ledger is a hardware wallet company Jez invested in some time back and has proven time and time again to take security seriously. All the Funfair team use ledger.
Trezor is the open source hardware wallet developed by Slush who also created the original mining pool; slush's pool. Trezor is my personal favourite, but I've been involved in the space a long time and the hardware wallet is Slush's innovation. He's done a lot for the scene and they've always taken my suggestions on board so I have a lot of respect for the Czech based team. There will be a trezor 2 soon which should allow the use of tokens in even more innovative ways.
Please do not use web wallets for storage. We aren't creating this tech for someone else to be the custodian.
BACK-UP MNEUMONIC PASSWORDS. Buy a Cryptosteel or two and double check everything.
We are about to launch an official telegram group. Like other telegram groups to will push news, but likely be trading focused price action due to it's live fluid conversation and the community focus there being based on trading chat.
The Telegram is @FunFairTech -
https://www.t.me/FunFairTech - It will be listed amongst the official @Crypto groups. I would only trust groups on that page. They are peer reviewed and heavily moderated to keep out scammers and questionable groups similar to those promoting via some recent reddit and bitcointalk and slack posts.
This sticky is to prevent reminders as any rogue posts will be removed.
Stay Safe.
P.S. Will try and arrange some discount coupons for the hardware wallets if there is enough interest?
