Please read the full article here



excerpt:
CYBR has uncovered an emerging exchange scam website that is propagating through Telegram, Instagram and other social media platforms. This exchange, Crypto-Earn.info is a clone of CEX.io and is duping investors of their hard-earned cryptocurrency assets! Do NOT send funds to Crypto-Earn.info!

CYBR is working to gather as much information as possible in order to get this website shutdown ASAP. CYBR is also trying to spread the word throughout the Crypto community so we can protect each other and not get scammed! There is more information below on how to spot a scam exchange/website. The key point is to look for the green padlock, a gray padlock just means they have a valid free certificate (they didn’t get the Extended Validation certificate, RED FLAG!). While a gray padlock doesn’t necessarily mean the site is a scam, it is better to play it safe than get scammed and be sorry! This, people, is why CYBR was created! Please share and ensure no other crypto investor is scammed.

This should be on https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=227.0

Basing on these points

a. Notice the GREEN SECURE PADLOCK next to CEX.io
b. Check the Name and Owner of the certificate. Compare CEX.io to the fraud exchange crypto-earn.info
a. Notice there is no GREEN SECURE PADLOCK
b. Notice the certificate name doesn’t represent the site like CEX.io


I woudl already hesitate on using up the exchange on the very first place. SSL certificate do really matter for an exchange.

The domain itself is suspicious, I've never seen an exchange with that name "earn" on it. Names of exchanges are unique and have their own brand and by just examining the name of it, you can't see any brand on it.

While you are warning people about this fake/clone site, you are also advertising your Cybr sideways.
