there are now a lot of phishing sites popping up, phishing attacks continue to increase along with the growing popularity of crypto. most of the phishing links I get are from email and slack. already many victims of this crime and their losses are also quite a lot. we must remind each other and always carefully before log in a site (always check the address of the site) and do not click any links you do not know.

yes maybe here a lot of phishing website, because do not know. actually to distinguish the phishing website can be seen from the top left corner, there is safe writing or not, if not then the website is phishing.
To avoid phishing sites it is always advisable not to visit your favourites through other links rather than the bookmarked, recently this phishing forum similar to this forum was detected https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2270578.520 and it could very difficult to differentiate that forum with bitcointalk.org for an unsuspecting members someone must have already entered his or her username and password to this phishing site before realising that it is fake.

I guess you are talking about the Secure and HTTPS protocol. Nope, you can't be sure just seeing those. Those can be faked too. Your best bet is to go through the site thoroughly. Usually the login page is the main phishing point. So if you try navigating through the pages you will see that you get redirected to the real page or some other page. Your best bet is to use google search engine.

There are multiple ways to safeguard yourself from phishing website.
1. If you are logging to any ERC20 related website, its always good to have Metamask installed.
2. Always type your website address manually, never google and click on it, mostly this is the way people are getting more trapped into phishing scams.
3. A better way is to type addresses manually and bookmark these so that it will save your time in future.
4. Give importance to details always.

Create new account then make a new username and password so even it's phishing website your account is empty.Or try to search first if it's scam or phishing site,I think don't trust other person opinion in a site if it's legit or not and i think you need to try it then to know if it's legit or you can also trust other person here with has a plus green number in stats,There in no assurance if the site is legit and if you don't know the site always do a back up account for safety so you don't have regret even you got hack because it's new and empty,this is so wise move

Always double check your links before proceed with any transactions, sometimes you could search for myetherwallet google and the first result is a damn phishing link that bypassed Google ads. I believe every exchange would have a type of phishing link siding their url, watching for careless holders to insert their private keys. Bookmarking once you reached a legit site is the best as there is no way for them to manipulate your actions, double checking of course and that's it! website is less likely if you are aware, but emails phishing is more harmful as scammers could masked their sender email easily, you should watch them out not to believe things that are too good to be true.

I don’t click any links that i think i wont need, I don’t join something for a less amount of money and most importantly don’t give you details easily just to earn $1. A lot of phishing site spreads in social world, better to be more careful on clicking links.

You can avoid it using https,dont ever be fooled.Try to get 2factorauthenticator in your exchange account and your email account that would be enough and dont save your private keys in your computer and cellphone.

To avoid phishing I preferred we must use bookmarks. That's the safest way in order for you not to go on phishing.

To many victim of phishing, some of them is not aware of this but they did not know they steal their information without knowing the user. to avoid this you must Keep Informed About Phishing Techniques, Think Before You Click!, Install an Anti-Phishing Toolbar, Verify a Site’s Security, Check Your Online Accounts Regularly, Keep Your Browser Up to Date, Use Firewalls, Be Wary of Pop-Ups, Never Give Out Personal Information, and Use Antivirus Software.

Phishing sites have a different domain than the original sites. Always check for it before entering your username and pass. Also, bookmarking the site is also helpful from being victimised.

now it is quite difficult to distinguish phishing websites. the important thing is never to click on suspicious links, let alone the website does not have some legal information and others

It is really hard to distinguish whether the website is phishing or not. To avoid them, just don't go to a site that is not trusted.

To avoid a phishing website you need to look carefully at the URL when clicking at a search engine, dont click URL the is shorten and just been given by some random person over the internet. These phishing website will surely take your information over the internet and use it on some shady activities worst case scenario they will steal your money.

Is it always any warning safe or unsafe website in the top left corner? Is there any phising website but remain green colour there or not? I actually type anywebsite that i want visit and bookmark the regular website.

Use anti virus to make your computer safe, and then dont too greedy to click the site which sent using email much better to avoid that also look at the domain if it is https that is safe than clicking http site, Yes lots of phishing website that has key logger specially if site asking for some password or private key using your online crypto wallet your fund will be on danger.

save your original site in bookmarks, and don't search for search engines because many phishing websites are advertised there. so be careful because with the more the more it is famous it will be a lot of fraud or phishing.

Well, first of all I do not follow any suspicious links and I never open the letters that come to me from the addresses I do not know. Here is also good old instruction how to protect yourself from this stuff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jj5m3EaIyW0

There are several ways to avoid phishing websites. The first one is to think before you click the link. You should be informed about different phishing techniques. The second one is to verify the security of a site. The third one is to use a firewall and an antivirus software. And the last one is that you should never give your personal information.
