Criminals are now venturing into creating a fake XRP exploring like the scam site above.

Again, the looks are very similar, but the real and true site is: https://bithomp.com/explorer/

You really have to admire the tenacity of these people, Lol.

First they have created a lot of fake XRP giveaways to trap us, now, they go one step further but creating a fake XRP explorer. So this is a very malicious website that you found here and again, this is a exact copy of the real XRP explorer that you can't really distinguished them by just looking at the website and definitely people might really fall for this scheme. Very nice find.

Those are criminals, they will do everything at their disposal to con crypto users, specially noob one.

Yes, that is the scary part as this can get into noobs and think that this is real, put their XRP with their keys. And then watch as these scammers drain their wallets. It could give noobs trauma, LOL. And then learn their lessons in a very expensive way.

Newbies can be trapped in these websites. I think they might be collected many XRP private keys.Scammers are coming up with new faces everyday.

Good thing though is that this fake and malicious website has been taking down already. Kudos to the OP for reporting it here and I'm sure some members do report this website to Google or even the domain registrar. So let's keep the fire burning by hunting this fake website to save a lot of newbies. Attacks are obviously escalating as the price of bitcoin and the rest of crypto are rapidly gaining in the last couple of months.

Yes, it seems that the website has been shutdown already, taken offline for good.

So thanks for our members who spend their precious time reporting it. So we already get rid of just one site and there could be hundreds being created now that we haven't discovered yet.

It's down already for why I can not check it. So seems it looks like an explorer site for XRP then where was the trap? I mean there was any tricky things there that people may lose their fund? Is any phishing site has linked there?

I was also late checking in this catch because the site has gone down, how does it work in this site explorer, is it really entering a keyword for every token checking?
If some of you already understand then I don't think this needs to be debated anymore because the site is down means that everyone can't see it so it keeps happening and newbies don't visit it again.
At first glance, it looks like a phishing site in general.
