They bumped an old thread. I fell into one of those threads. . My bad, I didn't realize that the thread that I comment on is a bit old thread (one month ago). But what's making me upset is newbs that post a suspicious link bumped the thread. Like this:

Great work OP. I think it's better to put phishing link with the following way to avoid users clicking that link [b]https://www.mywalletether.com[/b] <----------------- Wrong Link phishing site I have been warned by "MetaMask" When I clicked that phishing link. So I would strongly advise all to install this MetaMask crome extention to your chrome browser in order to avoid logging phishing sites.

Thanks for the info. Those who are going to fall for this easily are those who dont know about the numerous phishing method that people have tried since the advent of myetherwallet as a web wallet. There are some measures that I take to prevent such events and would advice them anyone who is a novice to Ethereum wallets: 1. Bookmark the original myetherwallet website so you dont fall for clones. Do not click on links from known people. 2. Check the security certificates (though they can be cloned as well) 3. Learn how you can run MEW offline. 4. Install the metamask addon on Chrome. 5. If you have invested in a lot ERC20 tokens and Ether, you should get a hardware wallet to keep everything safe.

Apparently the flood of spamer does not break off. Found 5 new ones in the last minutes and reported it. At least there phishing link doesn't seem to work anymore when they post.

I thought indeed looking at the SSL certificate was a pretty safe bet, but indeed there have been pushing website using them as well. Well cannot be careful enough when you are typing sensible information nowadays.

snipSo I would strongly advise all to install this MetaMask crome extention to your chrome browser in order to avoid logging phishing sites. Gonna vouch this metamask, I'm glad to have this chrome extension because it helps me to avoid phishing sites. There are many times metamask appears when some links was directed to fake/scam exchange sites. I hope that metamask also have an access to different exchanges, not only on DEX so we can import our wallets to a high-class exchanges without worrying.

Metamask is becoming a standard and it will start to get used even more now that supports tokens. It's probably one the safest way to create transactions while on a web page, since it's clearly showing what is happening. Highly recommended

There are plenty of Brand new accounts posting that Phishing Link. I started reporting the post of the ff users listed below earlier, but there are more of them. (I'll continue editing this list) Is it just the link in Geraldo's screenshot? If not, can you PM me the phishing link(s)? I'll restart my continuous patrol downloads, so I can catch them quickly.

That's the one. Theymos seems to have killed it though so if this scheme pops up again they will likely use a different link.

Gonna vouch this metamask, I'm glad to have this chrome extension because it helps me to avoid phishing sites. It is good practice to just stop clicking on links. Bookmark your exchanges/MEW/etc. and only visit them from your saved bookmarks or manually entering the address. I saw about 10-15 of these posts and they were all that same link, yes.

These people are mostly new members, engaged for their own purposes, but they do not know bitcointalk is a community where people can provide information to fraudsters.

I can't disagree with anything you said, but having an extra measure of safety is not a bad idea. I too recommend the MetaMask chrome extension.
