EthaGet - plagiarism / phishing website!

[morvillz7z]

What happened: EhtaGet has plagiarized their whitepaper from MyEtherWallet, their website can be also considered a copy of MyEtherWallet.

Reference Link: https://ethaget.com/

Announced by: ethaget

ANN: ✅[AIRDROP][ANN][Stable Coin] EthaGet (EthaDollar) |💰 Ethereum Wallet + Rewards!

Flag 1: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=879

• EhtaGet are offering an Airdrop worth of $500 (which is supposedly a stable coin Etha Dollar)

• Their website/domain is less than 3 weeks old having almost the exact same outlook as the old MyEtherWallet interface.
• As i said above, parts of the whitepaper are copied from MEW.
• Their CEO, or at least his name Sebastian Tamara, was involved in another scam earlier this year called Genji.PRO.
• I believe anyone who enters their private keys, keystore files or mnemonic phrases in hope of a $500 will lose their funds.

Plagiarism example 2.

Your funds and information are not ‘in’ the EthaGet Wallet. Your wallet exists on the Ethereum blockchain, EthaGet just offers a way for anyone to interact with the blockchain easily. If EthaGet went down, you would simply have to find another Ethereum blockchain interface that would allow you to access your wallet.

Impressive investigation mate and you have already collected a lot of strong evidence against them. Most probably after seeing your post they are in a hurry to create new whitepaper and changing all fake things to prove us wrong. Such a cheap scam plan to steal investors money.

Tagged and flag supported from my end and they deserve more IMO.

thanks.another scam project.....

 thanks for this investigations and discoveries, but in as much as i am not arguing whether this is a scam or not , but in the case of wallet , people are asked to create a new wallet on theri site so how do they intend to hack a new  wallet that has no tother token order than theirs ? lol.

i think for anyone who wants to try their airdrop shoud be sure the only token in that wwallet is theri token and not use it for any oyher transactions or storage of any other assets. my oppinion though.

No, they are not!
People are required to post a screenshot of their ETH address while they are logged in Ethaget.

Even if it was only to create a new wallet nobody should ever do so, especially on a website that less than 3 weeks old, with fake CEO/CTOs. which is also a copy of MEW, with plagiarized whitepaper offering strangers $500. Lol

I have supported the flag and  this is very alarming because they are cloning MEW, people should be very careful using MEW now because of the too many clones, anything that looks or try to imitate what MyEtherewallet design should be considered as a scam site, we have so many newbies who sometimes cannot differentiate what a true and fake online wallets are.

Do i need to have a GitHub account to make a pull request for MetaMask?

I'd really like to see this page flagged or even better...taken down (i've just issued a phishing report with google safebrowsing).

https://github.com/MetaMask/metamask-extension/pulls

Some additional results from urlscan down below:

Yes, you need Github account.
Then you install Metamask extension and open webpage you want to see if it is blacklisted.
I tried to open ETHAGET website, and Metamask has not blacklisted it yet.

I will add it.
