For those of you traders, please be careful with fake exchanges, because I found a VERY SAME exchange that makes no difference at all like the exchange on EtherDelta, the fake exchange link that I saw I got from my Gmail inbox, which message it was contains about giving tokens like AIRDROP, and there I am given a registration form link and in the form there is a fake EtherDelta link, and this is the link http://EtherDelta.website, and this is the original EtherDelta link https://etherdelta.com/. There is no difference at all in the two exchanges, the images, features and others are exactly the same, so please be careful.

Secure your private key, secure your wallet, do not easily believe things that invite you to get rich instantly, do not easily trust advertisements, because crime is not just at one door, who knows there are many other fake exchanges, therefore be careful.

The deal must be carefully monitored in his dealings. He can lose his capital through bogus exchanges, so it must be done very cautiously when dealing with a deal, or we will be greatly damaged.

In recent time so many scam exchanges are available in the market and investors are losing their projects by using those exchange. So before trade you need to careful about the exchange.

Before getting engaged with any exchanges in the market we do need to do research on it to see if it is legit or not because even the fake ones seem extremely real. Plus we need to make sure our private key numbers are safe too.

Actually, one of the things I'm most afraid of is security vulnerabilities. I will wait for the price increase as the price drops down, but I do not have any return on security in your hand. especially in this fake exchange case, there were too many people hurting.

Thanks for this information I saw same airdrop advert and was planing to work on it later but with this information I am now safe. I really do not understand human begins and their guts to always cheat and scam others in the process destroy the real projects that they are copying. Every one should be careful with any link they click online as some of them are phishing links that will steal your login details which they will use to compromise your account. Try and make sure that you deal with sites that has 2FA which enables you to get codes which if you reproduce the code will give you access to the account.

You did the right thing by reporting a fake site, I believe many people will take your concerns into account and not get caught by a phishing site.
It seems to me that this is not an isolated case of fraud with decentralized exchanges. It would be nice a list of to do such sites. Who else can offer such bad sites ?

You are right. We need to be very careful with the cryptocurrency market. The rate of scams and hacks are increasing day by day in the market. There are multiple phishing and malware websites available in the internet. We need to be very careful of what we choose to surf.

Yes it is true that the fake exchanges do look almost like the real ones. And for that we do need to have our guards up all the time. At the same time w do need to take some added precautions too such as do a little research on it and see if is it legit or not, get the opinions of people, etc.

There are so many exchanges that are coming out every day . Even about 75% of the ICO projects has their end product as exchange for crypto currency.I know with all these numerous exchanges some thing sinister will happen. We all need to be careful for any link sent to us in our emails. Do not click any of those links to keep your wallet safe.

Unfortunately, the crypto money world has become the target of frauds. Every day they find a way to themselves.

It has always been advised that after registering on any exchange or wallet, such exchanges/wallets should be bookmarked on the browser to avoid cases of visiting fake website and wallets. A single visits of such site may save it the browser history and that could be dangerous. This applies to all crypto site that request private keys as entry code.

I am given a registration form link and in the form there is a fake EtherDelta link, and this is the link http://EtherDelta.website, and this is the original EtherDelta link https://etherdelta.com/. There is no difference at all in the two exchanges, the images, features and others are exactly the same, so please be careful.

.
This criminals and fraudsters are really trying everything to steal the hard earned tokens people have worked for. If one is not careful, you may just jump into this kind of airdrop thinking it is from EtherDelta. Thanks for the information.

Taking part in airdrops has been something that a lot of people were not in favour from the beginning. And yes we do need to be careful when taking part in the exchanges because they seem to replicate the real ones and it is tough to differentiate between the fake ones from the real ones. But we do need to be safe from our end by keeping our private key number safe and doing a thorough research on the exchanges too.

The fake ones look so muck alike to the real ones, that the newbies especially face a tough time to identify the fake ones. But you can do that by checking the information of the team and by seeing the number of experts in it.

i advise to use the old and trusted exchange ones link:
bitfinex.com - iam using by myself ! Need only verify when you wanna withdraw/deposit €/$, no need for coins exchange !
kraken.com - not using this but well known from the community !
both working since years now and have great values Wink



kind regards
