I don't know why those scammers won't rest till they defraud crypto enthusiasts.  Before signing into your exchange accounts in particular, cross check thoroughly to be sure you are not about to access a phishing site. The best is to bookmark all URL of your exchanges or use tools which detect phishing sites on your browser.

I think this is an old method that is often done by scammer, often it is also said that phishing and crime are not only sent in email, but in telegrams, other social media and anywhere. Therefore don't click on any links from unknown sources and and always bookmark every site that you visit often.

They won't, because they are criminals. That's why we really need to be careful out there. Make sure that we are in the right website before we enter our data otherwise your account is compromise. Sometimes common sense is the best weapons + educating ourselves to the dangers of phishing.

that's why we must be careful before clicking anything that will give us possibility in result loss our money caused by phishing or hacking, but these scammers are using various way to scam others just like some scammers are creating fake contract and create a buzzword if that was an official project that launch IEO from the big company like facebook and then they are spreading fake massage in all of the places to make others believe if they are real project but they are scammers.

It is easy to fall for such phising sites if you do not take time to check the url properly. I bookmark pages i use often to avoid confusion. Some exchanges are aware of this scam and make a security provision for that- all genuine message from them must always carry your UNIQUE ID chosen and only known by you. I think Kucoin does that.

I’ll add from myself that in addition to checking the website address, be sure to activate two-factor authentication. For all the actions that are possible: access to the site, withdrawal of funds, changing settings, and so on.

Always be careful, especially by reading strange emails or dms on telegram. Scams are everywhere and before sending your funds, please assure that the project is legit to protect your money. Otherwise you will regret not spending some time for research before investing.

Unfortunately, no one is safe from scammers, but you can take some measures:

1. Add the exchange to your favorites and access only this link
2. If you trade in ethereum then you can use the metamask, it will warn about a phishing site.
3. Try to use decentralized exchanges such as bitshares
4. Use 2 factor authentication + confirmation by mail
5. And of course, the most important thing is to pay attention to the official pages of exchanges in social networks, they write about dos attacks and changed ip

You are right,this is why its always necessary to check the https// sign to confirm if the link is secured or not and secondly you have to check the website alphabetically e.g https://www.coinbase.com can be changed to http://www.coInbase.com,if you dont check it properly you will fall victim.

That's phishing if am not mistaken. In order to be safe,  I always login to exchanges via Coinmarketcap because that's where the correct website address is. Also, another way is checking the group or channel, take note of the admins and then check for the website which is mostly in the pinned message. But in all, going through Coinmarketcap is the best..

This is the biggest challenge for cryptocurrency. They are just killing the nice opportunities for their short term gain. Even regulatory board will have challenges to overcome this.

What you are talking about is just a small part of the scam tools. Now there are a huge number of methods of fraud in cryptocurrencies. We all need to be very careful not to become victims of scammers.

Have not experienced this before and my question is how do they know the investors and did they get their contacts?. I always advise people to be very careful of before they do any transaction on any website.
