Always check green address and avoid clicking spam links. A lot of lazy hackers and scammers now are doing everything just to get easy money. Enabling 2fa verification is better, never give them any single dime and always be vigilant.

These kind of phishing sites are hundreds in numbers nowadays, so it is always better to check the url properly before you enter your password and user details. I remember, I had fallen prey for such a phishing attack back in 2008. I used to have Liberty Reserve account for my blog payments. Suddenly I got an email stating that my account has been blocked due to repeated failed login attempts and need to re-login from the link sent to the email. So I blindly did the same and lost almost 240 USD which was lying idle in my account. Thanks for the info, it may save a lot of newbie people from such attacks.

The trusted Page


I hate people making a fake website almost similar or I can say perfectly similar to those who are trusted website. There are a lot of them in internet, some are also like currency exchange websites and some of them are advertising their sites through social media, so don't be fooled by words, graphics, pics. etc., they can't be trusted. Hence always look at the website address, because even without proper knowledge you can easily say if the site is trusted.

We should all take care of our investments, specifically bitcoins, there is a reason why we use 2FA to protext our wallet, there will always be phishing sites, wherein if you are not careful enough, they might get hold of you private keys, always check om the sites wherein you are trading or opening your online wallets, if it looks suspicious, do not input any details, also install antiviruses in your device, be it a desktop or mobile phone, it is much better if you are well prottected, since our investments is digital, hackers wil also imprpve the way they make codes, we should be two steps ahead of them always.
