Privnote or not, nobody should be sending their private key over the internet. Just because the site adds privacy to your messages, it doesn't mean you have to go all out and send your privates keys and most sensitive personal information.
@OP, please add a warning not the click that site with 's'.

Part of the link also reported that the fake site uses Google search engine to advertise; As if the two websites' exceedingly similar names and appearance weren't obvious, the Privnotes clone added ads in Google Search to have their result outrank the "organic" results.
That means any time a user would search for "privnote(s)" Google would show the (fake) Privnotes.com ad first, as shown below. You should not trust Google search engines and their results, it seems they do the minimum to check for the authenticity of the sites they promote on their results pages. With a high enough bid and fake traffic any site can get to the top of their list, including fake ones. Do not also send your private keys on any online platform, there is no reason at all to send your private keys to someone over the internet. If you wish to transfer the balance of an address, let the other party create a new address and you send the funds to them. Also check more than the first few digits when copying and pasting an address to ensure it wasn't changed by a malicious site or clipboard hijacker.

wow... that sure is tricky. I mean other than the s its a pretty good copy of the original site.
I mean from the word of mouth someone mentions privnote and someone opens the website using the privnotes website isnt going to know what hit him until it is too late... Sites like this should be reportable to Google to not take it up in the index... I mean its obv Scam and Phishing.

We don't have facts but I do thing that there could be some crypto individuals who thinks that it is safe to use this kind of private and encrypted services to send bitcoin addresses. How many have we seen people falling for scammers like fake giveways and stuff?
So we should stay away from this, scammers will always take every possible scenarios in the book to steal our crypto funds.

I have used Privnote.com in many occasions but never thought of an imposter of them to be existed. I think it's better to have peer to peer PGP communications if we are exchanging sensitive information between us. No third party site is safe. We don't have facts but I do thing that there could be some crypto individuals who thinks that it is safe to use this kind of private and encrypted services to send bitcoin addresses.
In one occasion I have sent one of the multi-sig key using Privnote.com.

1. Never transfer or digitally store raw private keys. Use end-to-end encryption if you really-really have to send someone a raw private key. Ask them for their PGP key and encrypt the private key with it before sending.
2. Always triple check that the address that the address that you submitted is the same as the one you copied from the wallet. Clipboard swap can happen due to malware or be a part of the communication platform, like in OP's case.

Doesn't really matter which service you use (the legitimate one or not). You can never rule out that the server has access to your information.
You might as well just send your private information via a PM here. Same effect.
If you want to securely transmit data, encrypt it.

Scams are getting more complex and advanced everyday. A friend who was involved in crypto for 6 years recently got pished for 2 BTC. I think for real mass adoption, we need technology that's easy to use for everybody. Stay safe!

Yeah, but I think there are crypto enthusiast who are really confident that this so called self destruct private notes services are really safe, but they are not. Everything that passes to a third party should be taken very seriously because the server can be access by anyone. Never been a fan of this services in the first place.

In my humble opinion, Don't put it one wallet (1 btc= 100 address), if use uncompromised note online tool your friend only lost small balance (0.01).

People must realize that technology like bitcoin offers the same benefits as physical cash does. The only difference here is that everything now is in digital space, it doesn't have tangible expression. So, in order for your money to be secured, you have to behave the same way you have behaved before plus study through some basic guides regarding computer security to avoid being scammed. Like it was with physical cash, it is better to use the same practices when dealing with bitcoin, don't put all your money in one wallet, don't tell anyone about money you possess, don't keep and send important information about your money online, don't use private notes whether they are trustworthy or not, especially when it comes to huge amounts of money. Everything is the same your money is your money, you are only one who control it.

Damn, this is why I prefer paper wallet, you don't have to use internet to create paper wallet and you just have to keep your private key or Mnemonic seed in a safe location or carve on a steel plate, anyways thanks for the warning OP

It's partially people's fault if they use this kind of service to share/keep important information. I'd use it only for trivial tasks such as writing food recipe.
Sending private keys over a service like that is very wrong... I have used a service like this for sending my address to someone. Yes I could have sent it via PM but it gave me a better feeling that its gone after opening it once... (yes he could have copied to his computer and saved it there... I know =))

Why people are using these services for sending private keys or other sensitive things? This is my 4 years in the crypto world. I did not feel any need of these types of services. Even I don't know about this in the past. I don't think it is a wise idea to share private keys in this way. Since scammers becoming very smarts day by day, we also should be more aware of our important things online.

Luckily my friend kept tracking the address and it finally reached Binance. He then contacted Binance for help. Maybesome use of centralization. lol

Scammers now are using 4-5 days to create a rapport and then scam. It's funny how we regard physical cash differently. Though the digital equivalent is the same, only difference being it not physically "feelable". Which wallet do you usually recommend?

Greed and quick money is probably a driving factor for many to part with their precious BTC. And with easily replicatable websites, people forget how precious their BTC is and how much it's going to hurt them sometime in the future.
