The activities of scammers is seriously on the rampage, looking for those who would fall victim of their scams.Some days ago, i received a mail from this fake website
https://td.kkcoin.com/pcActivity telling me that i have a free giveaway, while the real one i have been using is
https://www.kkcoin.com. Also, on two different occasions, i received reminders from them.
This was the mail sent to me:

I decided to open both the fake website sent to me and the real one i have always been using. Then i saw some disparities on the sites. Below are the pictorial representations of those differences i noticed. Although some are not that obvious except you take a closer look at them.
On opening the REAL SITE i am accustomed with, this was what i got on the home and service page and there was nothing like promotion on it.

On opening the SCAM SITE, it was a different case entirely.

Then i decided to look into some features that were obvious on both sites, because i was sure there would be some differences.

REAL SITE

- On the FAKE site, it was very obvious that the "QR Code Download" was overlapping the slot for "Android App", while on the REAL site, it was at the base, almost adjacent.
- Observing the QR Code image for the FAKE site, it was not directly in front of the slot for Android App download, rather, it was on top of it. While that of the original site was directly in front.
There are also some other differences indicated on the images.
If you try to open the site, you would also observe others.
I was able to easily detect this because the exchange site has android app, which i use. Had it been i am fond of using the web version of it, who knows, i might have just login and get phished.
To be very sure of this, i made enquiry on their
https://t.me/KKGLOBAL telegram channel and i was told it was scam
There are some exchange sites that do not use app and this is where you need to be more careful. Most times, when i find myself in a situation like this, there are some precautionary measures i ensure.
- I would search for the exchange on
https://coinmarketcap.com, because from experience, i trust the sites they list.
- I would then bookmark it or save it somewhere for future use.
The reason i bookmark is that, scammers can be very deceptive. There are times that both the FAKE and REAL sites would look very much alike. To tell the difference might require critical look and consciousness. For instance, the letter C for scam site might appear as Ç or letter U, might appear as Ü.
So we all need to be very careful so as not to be phished.
Other future concerns might not necessarily not necessarily be on kkcoin exchange, but this will help to safeguard against other phishing sites of any exchange you might be using or might want to use.
I wish you all the best in your endeavours.
