Transaction not desired with all my bitcion

[bob123]

The 'not secure' message does not appear because it is a scam site, but because their SSL certificate isn't up-to-date.

It is very well imaginable that they had a valid SSL certificate 14 days ago. However, today the site is redirecting to a porn site.

I am going to report this site to google, and it would be very helpful if you also would do the same (https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/?hl=en).


I am sorry for your loss.

Ok I will report the site.

Thank you for you help


Is anyone heard about someone else who have been scammed by the same fake site?

I am not aware of anyone being scammed by this specific site.. But this could simply be due to the fact that these sites don't survive longer than a few weeks.

Usually those scammer have multiple domains which they set up. And once one of them gets taken down (e.g. trough multiple google/ISP reports) they simply use the next one.


It is nothing unusual that only a few people get scammed per domain and its also not unusual that those sites are down after a few days/weeks.

It seems that you are right. I found this adress in my history  https://electrun.net/ . But my browser block the site because it is not secure. Is it possible that the site was accessible 15 days ago and not know?

The mystery is finally solved, too bad you did not check better before using that fake site- it is have wrong name electrun and even wrong domain, so you pay for ignorance and I guess because you did not you have any security software to block that site or download from that site. Site is not available for me : "The owner of electrun.net has configured their website improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this website."

Many users become victims of fake wallets, especially in time when Google is allow crypto advertising with AdWords, so fake site appeared at the top of the search results.

Don't hold out hope for this. Next time bookmark the correct electrum website and always visit it via that bookmark. Also use an adblocker. These scam sites don't show up in the search results proper. Instead they show up in google ads above the search results. If you had an adblocker you would have never even seen this site.

Oh and you can't use any bitcoin or cryptocurrency wallet on the same PC where you installed this fake version until and unless you reformat your hard drive and reinstall windows. That's because the malware version you installed may have left behind additional nasty software that will compromise any future wallets you create.
