Metamask phishing site

[$crypto$]

I already reported the site the second time around. I don't know what the hell is Google waiting for.

Everyone should have a consensus effort to report every website we have seen being reported here on in the Scam Accusations board. I also do give some scam alert from time to time if I saw one in discord or telegram. For us, who have been here long enough, we can spot the fake site, but there could be beginners who might still fall for this scheme.

Many have reported this phishing site to Google, but now after I access it with the Chrome browser I can't access it again, it means that Google has followed up on this quickly so that no one can access it again after everything has been published.

But still at Mozilla this site can still be accessed so I think there are still victims who will be trapped in this hole, damn, I hope there is no second hole.

btc_angela I really appreciate your work finding this site and informing the newbie who is here.

Probably the best thing we can do collectively, is to put pressure on Google by reporting it multiple times so that they will take actions. And big thanks for those who have reported it already!!

I don't know if this is effective since based from what I have seen in the past Google isn't reliable when it comes to taking down things. I remembered people who have complained for days in Google's Playstore when they have downloaded the xHelper adware that plague their devices yet they still see the app available for download even if it had gotten 1 star ratings and negative reviews. In Youtube you will see some hacked channels that were turned into Fake Crypto Giveaway streaming sites to have not been recovered by the true owner. These are just some of the sample cases under Google where they have not responded exactly what you are expecting them to do.

In 2019 I have also found a type of Metamask wallet phishing in the form of a chrome addon that was added by scammers and many have downloaded it. This is quite unsettling and finally reported and then blocked. and at this time phishing websites similar to metamask have also appeared. Traps like this are very dangerous and will steal all of our assets if you enter your private key. Phishing methods are growing. We are required to continue to be aware of phishing methods like this.

We can only report if we find a phishing website or application that will be harmful to everyone.

Another of the Metamask phishing site, but this one, it's very simply, Lol, and it's not as clean as the other fake sites. Maybe the scammers get's sloppy and in a hurry to release it.

Phishing sites are now many now.. I one saw a Phishing metamask on chrome store last year  but I think it has been removed.
This one is even asking for seed phrase password

I don't know though how long will Google will take down the first site that I have found, it seems it is still index by them.

I don't know though how long will Google will take down the first site that I have found, it seems it is still index by them.

I am also wondering why it takes google so long to mark the website as phishing and yet it's an obvious case that doesn't require a lot of investigation. I also reported some links but nothing has been done. The only positive outcome so far is that metamask is a little quicker at including the domains in their scam database and displaying phishing warnings.

We should also report it to their host on this one NameCheap, Google is not very quick to take action, this is a clear violation of Namecheap TOS

How and where can I file abuse complaints?

We may say that Google doesn't give a shit on those fake and phishing sites that has been reported to them. They have all the manpower and resources to do the review once it is reported and can take it down in less than 24-48 hours. But it has been days already since it has been reported to them and up to now they didn't do anything.

They should at least prioritised crypto related reports because scammers are making easy money specially from a lot of newbies. And now that the price of bitcoin is going up and Google trends regarding bitcoin is on a spike, it's possible that there could be individuals who can fall for this scheme.

Phishing websites are always coming up because scammers believes there are people who will really fall for it, and sadly enough it is mostly those who do not have enough information about whatever thing they are doing, that is, a newbie can hardly differentiate a genuine website from the scam one, but those who already knows can identify it.
Thanks for bringing this to the attention of everyone to educate us and keep those who are not knowledgeable enough about metamask safe. Actually, I always find it important to bookmark every Important website i visit all the time, both exchanges and all that, because scammers will always be scammers looking for every slight chance to scam people.

Didn't know that there's a phishing site of Metamask I checked it out and it looks like until now it's still operating. Let's just be careful about this website since until now it can still scam other especially those who are newbies. Nice catch by the way.

If you've been here on this market or even into those traditional ones then phishing site isnt something new yet scammers do really lurk in the shadows and
trying to mimic out those common sites on where they do know that they can make or steal money from others.This is why lots of them do exist and
expecting for metamask on having this one and even myetherwallet in the past had been created some phishing site even on exchange platforms too.
If you are a type of person who do love to make use of simple google search via keyword then you would most likely be victimized unless if you do know
the real url or even bookmarked then this is mostly been suggested.

Metamask is one of the most targeted phishing attacks by this criminals. It has reached 1 million downloads already or more, so it make sense for this criminals to mimic Metamask and hope that someone will fall for their scheme. So just be careful, and I'm sure there are a lot of phishing websites that hasn't been uncovered. So I will keep this thread updated whenever I found one.
