Is This Another Scam Or What?

[shalaza]

I received a mail from DECoin asking me to verify that i am not a robot via their website and typing a message that will show that the wallet is mine. Unfortunately for them, I only applied for the bounty(explained how they got my email address) but i didn't do any work. So, I knew immediately that it is scam. I played along and clicked on the link in the mail, a website loaded and on this website(http://MyEtherWallet-checks.space/signmsg), i am supposed to unlock my wallet to be able to verify that i'm not robot, who does that I checked very well and saw that the site is like a clone of MEW.

I'm raising this issue because many like me would have gotten the message and some might not think twice before inputing their private keys. Although, i don't know if this is the norm. My question now is, can this be trusted or is it just another form of scam considering that the site is not secured?

Lastly, we really need to be careful of how we protect our wallets, so as not to get duped.

I don't really understand but I have an idea for you. One way to try it is to use a new ether address with the condition that your wallet is still empty, and later if he wants to retrieve the contents of your wallet then you are safe.

That link isn't myetherwallet's official site, it's a phishing scam. You should post something in the scam accusations section of the thread and hopefully that might spare some people from the scam. Though I think by now most people should be pretty clued up on these things.

thanks so much for bringing up the matter here, this really have go to stop. I recieve countless phishing emails too with clones of MEW claiming to release tokens when i put my private keys. It only get me angry and i know many must have fallen prey to these cheap cheats. everyone just need to be on guard

[weborsha]

If a site looks exactly like MEW but you see that the url is different, it is a 100% scam. There are such things here and there in crypto world, no need to spend much time considering them but anyway, thnx for the report, hope it'll help someone keep their money safe)

[zhea]

It is surely a scam and it is a good thing that you highlighted it here so everybody will be aware of such a new fraudulent modus by scammers. Decoin team has not sent email to confirm or verify it's participants.

Just another act to hurt the already limping crypto community.

Since I started participating in bounty campaigns and airdrops, I receive many different emails, including allegedly from the campaigns in which I participate. Basically, I do not open these letters, especially not go to the link. The easiest way to go to the chat of the project in the telegram, and find out if they sent letters to the participants. Be careful!

[stock999]

For sure it's a phishing site.  I  hope you didn't type your private key there
Real honest sites usually never give you links. They give you a text message, which you can copy, sign in MEW and return them back a signed message

[Alluro]

This is a 100% scam. Because Myetherwallet is not going to verify yourself. And also Myetherwallet official site is https://www.myetherwallet.com then don't put your private key to anywhere. The important thing is no one going to give rewards via spam emails then don't trust or click them. You can block them and report as phishing.

what happened to you as I experienced, I also received e-mails on behalf of binary with the airdrop method from binance to get 200BNB coin, the method is the same as you are links that are similar to MEW

[dddudidd]

the longer the fraud model is very sophisticated, we are more careful and alert, if it looks strange and unusual. leave immediately. because that makes you safe

[batang_bitcoin]

I don't have to go through with that long story you made.

Just by determining the website you gave for myetherwallet. It is a fake one, decoin wants you to log in your private key with that phishing link that they made. It's a very popular scam scheme with these ICOs now if you are for their airdrops, don't be scammed and only visit the real MEW.

It depends on what type of work you did for them so far as you registered for there bounty you are eligible for payment but you said you did not do any work then it could be a random mail to every registered person check well and confirm but do not give your private key out or enter any suspicious link

OP said that he didn't do any work for them.

So that's fishy when they are requiring you to do that if you know in yourself that you never did any job. That's very suspicious and don't be caught with those schemes today or else you'll lose your life savings for being gullible with those emails.

Lol This is an obvious scam, which will lead only a novice. But, huh, you're new, so I will help you. Yes, this is scam. Always check URL
https://www.myetherwallet.com/ - true website!

[trash321]

Everything is very simple with me, if a project that you suspect is a scam project, then the likelihood that this scam project is growing up, because according to probability theory, it really has great chances.

Look at the domain name, surely this is scam. There are so many forms of scams today and you need to be careful with it. Your email has been revealed, which means that you have entered into some airdrop and your information has been sold

That is clear is phishing site. I also experienced it some time ago asking me to confirm that the wallet that was registered was really mine, but directed to mew phishing site. Therefore I did not continue. Don't be tempted by $ 50 or $ 100 if you don't want to be caught in a trap like this

[maculeth]

chances are you are exposed to a phishing site, I suspect it was because you said that it was like an imitation of MEW. do not continue entering the site again, because it is very risky on the security of your wallet.

Are you kidding me? from your story and that was obviously true if DECcoin is a scammer. You have said the evidence if deccoin was a scammer. Deccoin sent you an email that contains phishing link to redirect you to the fake MEW site. Your message will never be replied by decoin.
