[SCAM ALERT] Beware of Kucoin Phishing Sites

[$crypto$]

What happened:

When I did a search for Kucoin exchange on google there were a lot of phishing ads in the first table to the bottom, I think these scammers intentionally put it there to trick a lot of people who don't know.

My suggestion is that it's better to bookmark the official Kucoin site than to do a search on google later on being misled if you don't know and recognize it.

Stay on the lookout for phishing sites as they will resemble well-known sites.

Yes, you're right but they are not targeting the crypto trader alone because they were after every inexperienced and vulnerable crypto investor and this is the reason why it is very important for crypto user to familiarize themselves about how to know phishing sites and genuine site

Until now, if you do another search on Google about Kucoin, it shows that Phishing sites are still there and there are many, because there is still no change in the case with Kucoin.

Even Kucoin had time to give a statement about the dangers of phishing sites to always pay attention to the URL and never do a search if someone doesn't know if they don't research the URL.
Be more vigilant and indeed phishing sites have been everywhere.

Inexperienced traders are their main target, but they cannot specifically target them due to advertiser limitations. Phishing ads also show me when I do a Google search or a crypto wallet related search. Since I'm experienced enough with these I don't fall into their trap but newcomers don't understand these things anymore. As a result, they complete their target and scam those inexperienced people.

The third link in the picture is the official site though right?


Now if you use paid antivirus like kaspersky or norton... does that protect you?  If you use adblocker or ad blocking sites... those sites still show up?  But only on google?


I remember people said if you use brave browser, its safer and wouldn't have much of those phishing sites?  But last time i used brave, i remember it showed lot of fake sites though?  So which browser is the best then?  Or as long as you use google, these phishing links will show up?
