@Jating Surprisingly, it's already down [I'm not used to seeing a hosting company with quick actions (thanks to Namecheap's incompetent support staff members)] but unfortunately, a couple more of these fake pre-sale websites still exist:

Now in X tweets full of $BLOCK tags this will also invite more scammers to spread phishing sites thinking that many users are interested, with any tweet with $BLOCK tags it will add points for them.
But be aware that phishing sites always sneak in when tweeting from the last announcement.

They were publishing these hashtags in my posts, and whenever I read them, I would block their accounts LOl, but finally, I discovered that it was one of the projects called BlockGames. They publish these hashtags and tweets and engage with other people's tweets to earn social points weekly and be eligible to receive an Airdrop of $Block coins. It's worth mentioning that scammers are taking advantage of the hype around this project and its Pre-Sale that launched today, March 26, and its goal is to launch a future Airdrop for participants in scamming followers of this project through phishing websites, one of which was mentioned by OP. It is worth noting that they have already shared the official links for the pre-sale on their official account on X, but GUARANTEED TIER and LUCKY TIER are closed now; OPEN TIER is still live! A little research may prevent anyone from falling victim to any cheap scam.

@Jating Surprisingly, it's already down [I'm not used to seeing a hosting company with quick actions (thanks to Namecheap's incompetent support staff members)] but unfortunately, a couple more of these fake pre-sale websites still exist: Good if it has been taken down already, that was a quick response. And yeah, it we compare the creation of the website, totally different. @ $crypto$ - I didn't get it from X, but I do agree that platform is being used by scammers and they could really have someone, a newbie to fall for this trick and that's why they continue to create fake sites. Hopefully my warning here will help some members.

Before we could go on for any presale itself, we have to make sure that we are on the right platform, because it from there that they will redirect us to their main domain where we can make purchase of their presale, but ones we are using the fake link address, we are already on their hands and they can use that to phish on us and attack, all we will be seeing is the means of making payment into their wallet because that is by then their major priority before we then realized we are already scammed.

I do agree and I think that should be in our mind. However, it's very tricky if you are a newbie, who doesn't have the experienced and maybe saw the fake pre-sale website and then decided to invest. Criminals are very wise to also spread their malware, thru forums, and or social media accounts. And sometimes it's really too late for them to know that they have been scammed already. The good thing though is that it has been removed or at least there is a warning when I go on this website and block by, Advisory provided by Ethereum Phishing Detector and PhishFort.

Sometimes I myself often find phishing sites on platform x especially for presale Block phishing sites still exist after the official bottom tweet. However, I always anticipate using the extension of Scam Sniffer if it is a phishing site it will detect a red warning sign following the image below. I feel that this tool helps a little especially when connecting a web3 wallet wherever it will detect it, when there is a warning it will pop up a pup-up but when it is legitimate it will be verified automatically.

Sounds a good tool feature where did you find this tool, it's good to introduce to newbies too. But since the site will probably manually adding scam sites there probably it will not detect those new ones which newbies always get victimize.

X is now a cesspool of scam and phishing links thanks to Elon's new subscription policy and requirements to get a checkmark that are pretty easy for the scammers to make their accounts look legitimate. Just some past few days, I have seen dozens of ads running fake and phishing presale links. It's very annoying when I access X through the mobile app. Maybe I should start a thread reporting all this links.

It turns out that the website directs the visitors to: https://pre-blockgames.com/ But the website doesn't have anything already so probably they're already busted and the devs removed all of the contents. What a trick by these cons by adding "-" hyphen dash to their website and removing the word "sale" from the original one. It's kind of tricky but these what these scammers does. Thanks OP for catching these thieves.

But since the site will probably manually adding scam sites there probably it will not detect those new ones which newbies always get victimize. I found this tool on Platform X that tells to detect phishing sites, a new idea to introduce for beginners but I have to research first on this tool how far it works and benefits for all because as far as I use this tool it detects quite well, even new phishing sites are detected.
