Fake MetaMask

[cryptomaniac_xxx]

Greetings crypto enthusiast.

I just want to give you a heads-up about a fake Metamask website out there. It is very similar aesthetically and even the domain name is very tricky and you can easily fall for it if you don't check it.

Code:

hxxps://meta-mask.io/

Good, at least the domain registrar responded very quick and decisive.

I have one pending on reporting one scam/phishing site and so far I haven't got any response in more than 24 hours now. And the only that you found is really very dangerous because someone can fell for it like typo squat because the name is very similar to the original one.

That's a true a simple typo error can land one into a phishing site, but the best way is always to bookmark the site that you are frequently using and more so on sites like Metamask, and if you have a budget getting a metacert application is highly recommended especially for those who frequently trade on Decentralized exchanges.
