If creating a topic for each phishing link, this board will be filled. Therefore, combating such sites, especially since it is easy to create an army of them, is to teach others how to verify the validity of the site and stay away from phishing links.
I noticed that you have two topics, both of which are about phishing links, so I hope you add more information on how to detect those links.

The date the domain was created is one of the things that makes it easier to identify the phishing link, in addition to bookmarking the original link.

I guess there are some topics about how to spot scams and phishing. Thanks for the heads up. I also think I shouldn't create a topic whenever I find a phishing or scam website. How would it be if I gathered them in a single thread? Is't it a better idea? Or shouldn't I create any threads at all? When someone creates a thread about how to spot scams or phishing, it will be buried somewhere in the old topics unless it's a sticky thread. So, what is your suggestion?

This will work as long as you will categorized them properly to distinguished what is the official website they are impersonating. Scam accusation board typically use for a potential scam report against official service and discussion of new type of scam available online. Phishing attempt is available in almost all popular website since it’s being used by many people that typically browse in the internet.

Creating each phishing site will make this board flooded by same kind of scam tactic. People that doesn’t even know how to determine phishing website to official will have no time to browse on this kind of warning thread since they are too lazy for being a phishing victim.

You can collect them in one place, and it will be easier for anyone who wants to add them to the database of his firewall or antivirus. Adding links to topics that teach you how to avoid phishing links would be useful, or at least put general information at the end of each thread. Efforts to be dispersed in this way would mean that we would need an infinity of Phishing topics.

Maybe it should have been in this regard that every scam or physhing related websites should be logged on the same thread while any other form of scam which should be single handedly identified for specific reasons either being a forum member scsm related activities, or that has to do with a renowned exchange can have a different thread created for each, because you will easily find out that members nowadays often creates threads on accusations too often without having more discussion on them from other members because some of them were issues of less concerned, such could be the categories of scam reports which can be on a single scam accusation general thread.

That will be a great idea if you make your own list to gather all Phising sites in a thread. I also gathered some risky Phising sites which are airdrops or social dao submitted them in the thread which is created by Gladitorcomeback . As there is a specific thread to post all Phising sites in 2023 you can try this too. Here is the link POST ALL PHISING SITES HERE (2023)
You may see this list what I have added. Hope this list will make it easy to find out latest added phishing sites for forum members.

Stay away from phishing, and don't get scammed.
There are many phishing site we are seeing. It is very risky to browse internet now. We have to more careful about to access sites. As technology improves scammers creating so we are seeing many phishing sites. If we unable to found phishing site we will be fall into great loss. We will loss our valuable assets. When we enter any phishing site our device take Control scammer. When they take control our device then we loss our valuable assets. So we have to careful about internet browsing to avoid scam.

Just one advise though, put the phishing scam site inside the *code* so that we won't be able to click on that link.

Yes, another classic way of phishing in the crypto world, so again my advise is to really check the site itself so that you won't be a victim here. And it's good to see that the community is still alive posting such scams accusations here so that it can give warnings to other members.

Good catch by the way.

Thanks, everyone for the suggestions! I am not actively looking for scams or phishing sites. Sometimes I browse social media and found those scams phishing websites. I used to ignore them. But, recently I decided to post them in Bitcointalk. Not sure if anyone gets benefited from this. I don't think forum people will fall for those scams.

As there is a specific thread to post all Phising sites in 2023 you can try this too. Here is the link POST ALL PHISING SITES HERE (2023)
You may see this list what I have added. Hope this list will make it easy to find out latest added phishing sites for forum members.
Thanks for the link. If I find more phishing links, I will make sure not to create another thread instead I post on this thread.

Just one advise though, put the phishing scam site inside the *code* so that we won't be able to click on that link.
Good catch by the way.
Thanks for the friendly advice. I will edit the OP and put the URL in a code.

We almost wouldn't know the phishing link if you didn't tell us about it. Unfortunately, Google and Namecheap are very slow in deleting these links, and all our efforts in reporting may yield results after a week or two. Therefore, prevention is better than cure and knowing how to discover these links is much easier than trying to delete them.
Thanks for the friendly advice. I will edit the OP and put the URL in a code.

You still haven't changed URL, clickable links give them free traffic and better rankings in Google searches.
I remember trying to make such a list in the past but these sites spread fast.

If exposing that phishing to the forum or the community adds value, I will continue to post those website links if I find any. But, as I said before, I am not actively looking for these websites. I don't think Namecheap care about what website is hosted on their hosting. Namecheap and Google both care about money only. I see Google ads allow scam links before. They don't verify what they are promoting.

Sorry, I forgot to change it. Now I edited the OP and updated it. I have seen some Hyip scams before. But I don't know if I have ever seen that much phishing before.
