Ok. It is good to know that metamask to chrome browser pose problems if you install so many will be warned. I am glad I have installed metamask before with many good reviews. Maybe this version is not good at all and that many bad reviews surfaced.

[auliahr]

Be careful metamask have fox logo.

yes, the original metamask has a fox logo and is offered by metamask.io (not an individual).

look here:
https://metamask.io

[maracuja1]

How can this be taken of Chrome store so people don't install it by mistake instead of the real MetaMask?

[Akorharrison]

Thanks for the info that means we all have to be careful before anything will be go wrong.

[NeverSop]

There are now quite a lot of people reporting that they are losing Ethereum on their MEW wallet due to hacking so many investors are redirecting to using the Metamask utility. So scammers are taking advantage of this at the moment to create the fake Metamask utility to steal investors' assets. Be very careful with the number of wallets you have.

[cannycassiopeia]

ATTENTION:

MyEtherwallet devs: kvhnuke and tayvano have splitted. So it means the new https://www.mycrypto.com/ is a copy of the original MEW and headed by tayvano https://medium.com/mycrypto/mycrypto-launch-6a066bf41093

The original MEW remains online, so don't be spooked that there are two versions of MEW that look alike.

To avoid the headaches of remembering all of this changes, NEVER SHARE YOUR PRIVATE KEYS.

Use the real Metamask so you don't have to share your keys with any site!!!!!

[Thinvestor]

This whole thing is getting quite messy! Thanks for sharing, hopefully things get a bit clearer for people soon, hate hearing about people being scammed.

[nvq4596]

Wow this shit is getting more scary, thanks for the info though

[amarpk]

thank you very much
but i have lost all my money already.
always use 2fa auth in your exchanges

[riaruhs09]

thank you friends, your information is very helpful especially for those who have never used metamask for their personal wallet. Currently phishing is so and many other dirty ways are done in order to steal and get into our wallets. Be careful and keep our wallets.

MEW and Metamask basically works the same way. The main difference is that with MEW, you have to INPUT your private keys into the browser which you may or may not send to the server hosting the webpage. This is a security risk because you may send your keys to a phishing site.

Metamask is self-contained, meaning it just sends out signed transactions instead of keys. It's great with ETH but no support for tokens. So you need MEW and Metamask to move tokens.

[taufik123]

metamask alone there is a phishing program in chrome, the more worried I have been hit by the fake MEW phishing traps. and now there is also a fake WAVESPLATFORM fanspage asking to enter the seed. keep your privetkey

[nguyenkhanhhung14]

Thank you for sharing. Fake MEW and now it's fake Metamask. LOL. These guys are genius but they use their brain in wrong way. Maybe if they spend their intelligent in something else, they'll have been able to earn a lot of money but they chose the worst way, try to hack other people token. LOL. I'll be careful when I want to install metamask

[cannycassiopeia]

Crypto is a booming industry. Expect more shenanigans and more creative ways to steal from you. Just remember though, 80% of online theft is done through social engineering.

[Koobtcgal]

Thanks a lot for the notification but I want to know whether the extension chrome-extension://nlbmnnijcnlegkjjpcfjclmcfggfefdm/cx-wallet.html#add-wallet is a safe one because I have it installed but I have not used it.

To be sure, go to https://metamask.io/ first. Usually the real one has lots of reviews.

thank for your writting. It is very useful. will warn many new people are not careful. avoid unfortunate incidents

[bratko99]

It clearly looks like a phishing app.
I don't get how people really mistake stuff like this... They even pay to some phishing ICOs, like come one...
Be careful.

Be careful.

people will probably mistaken it as a real metamask because their name was completely the same and identical to the original one but the only difference between them is the logo. The original metamask has a fox logo while the logo of the fake one seems odd. the other way to know if the app is legit or fake is to look for the reviews and feedback,  if their were many bad reviews then the app is not good at all.

I have seen them when i have checked metamask extension and on first sight i have spotted out already the fake one which do have different logo since we do all know the original ones is having that brown fox logo and for those people who arent aware or do have the first time to see then high chances on downloading the fake one and would really result into loss of money.I didnt expect that scammers do already mimic metamask on a short period of time this is why i do always prefer on using up MEW than on a extension.

[xrpdavid]

Thanks for the warning! Can't do anything cryptocurrency-related these days without possibly being scammed or hacked. :/

[totedati]

But what about this Google Play MetaMask App!? My understanding is that till now official, legit, MetaMask don't have official native android apps in Google Play store, only some browsers extensions, Brave, Chrome and Firefox, but i see this freaks here already!

Offered By Google Commerce Ltd
Developer metamask.io
support@metamask.com

So ... Is fake or legit!?

[BfexOfficial]

thankyou for your information!, it's really useful

Please do not link your MEW address with the Metamask mate. We will not sure they scam us or not. I have checked their video they confirm they would not track our transaction or private key stealing attempt at all.
I use the Metamask as testnet while compiling has been done on ATOM.
Hope you guys not using Metamask as wallet to check on Chrome extension.

[totedati]

Well some ethereum games require MetaMask extension. Like this ether-quest.com. And in future will be more, gaming + crypto-money = eternal love. All DApps will use some form of MetaMask. What is true also is that you need to make the needed effort to split you crypto assets is multiple addresses which is a big headache for average users.

Anyway that fake MetaMask from com.digital.metamask is taked down already.

I was about to open the site but thanks to my norton safe search it automatically block the unwanted site and other inconveniences add, and it always adds some note on the trusted search result for you to pick your option which one is to open

We shouldn't visit some random websites and/or install some application or extensions to our personal computer. Luckily you got an anti-virus and it immediately blocked the malware that might want to plant to your computer. Only visit a legit website if you are using your personal computer so that your PC won't get compromise easily.

wow, this is very very dangerous if it gets hit with the web like this. I really do not like people who are lazy with work but want to get results. I really do not like the abuse of skills like this. very unfortunate, by the way thanks to share this very valuable information.

[rupesh2]

I think google chrome removed this phishing extension from their list .
but i dont know how these people able to list any app/ext openly ,
google should check their background , there should be a procedure to verify scam attempt .

if we open MEW with metamask then it is as safe as doing txn with metamask itself .
bcoz while login in mew via metamask , it do not expose our key , so we can do all tasks on MEW without importing pvt key .

[Tugsukana]

thanks for imforming of the fake metamask bro .. im awaring of this phishing fake metamask

[signofnero]

u need to be carefull guys too many out there scammer like app/website

so many problem i found up there hahahah got phised with fake app or website 

[jakezyrus]

I think google chrome removed this phishing extension from their list .
but i dont know how these people able to list any app/ext openly ,
google should check their background , there should be a procedure to verify scam attempt .

anyone can create and list their app anywhere , even if its in chrome store or appstore/google play there were lots of scam and junk apps .

The admin of those said platfom didnt even manage to check them because they are too many and that would probably take a lot of time and effort to install and check them one by one.

I suggest better read the reviews and coments on that app or browser extension before you install in order to avoid any problems that can occur.

[watergold]

it is now a lot of traps when we do the neglect and to use it and install it could be we will be attacked and included many viruses then important data is taken.

[rani.ahmed48]

thank you for the information you have provided, maybe we are more careful in phishing site because it harms many people.

[kubori102]

It is best to go directly to the metamask.io home page to choose the version for your browser. Do not go through google search

[dulari1]

There should be a system to check every developer before allowing them to create and publish/list their app or software to public . Everyone is not enough intelligent and knowledgeably to catch these tricks , They do fall in such traps .
Also users should install cryptonite like software and extensions in their browser to prevent other type of phishing attacks .
also there can be a blue or green tick mark on every app and extension which is verified by site , so that it is easy to know fake and real extension .

[Cryptosis]

Cool that reported this. I hope Google will quickly react to such incidents and remove malware. With the help of this could lose a lot of money thousands of people
