WARNING - Do not click links in Slack
Since the recent attempts to spoof the MyEtherWallet site I have noticed a huge number of phishing attempts on Slack pretending to be warnings and asking people to check their wallets and transfer their funds to a new wallet.
Rather than being some concerned citizen trying to warn others - these are actually phishing attempts with A FAKE LINK. They will take you to a fake MEW site and once you have entered your login information they will then steal all your funds.
DO NOT FALL FOR IT.
If you are ever concerned about the funds in your wallet you should visit the site yourself and make sure that the URL is correct and that it is using https.
NEVER CLICK LINKS IN WARNING MESSAGES EVER.
It doesn't matter if you get them in Slack, your email or on your phone. Always enter the URL yourself.
Please share this information to warn others.
This is such an important post that we thought we would use ALL our Steem Power to show it the Love and Attention it deserves we have also Resteemed this post to our Followers. Great Job @thecryptofiend

483 ETH lost? Damn. And I thought I was unlucky losing .9 ETH to a forgotten password (wallet mistake). I try to never click on links.. or at least hover over the hidden ones to see the real URL. I've gotten a few phishing attempt emails unfortunately, and I don't think it'll stop now that my YouTube will continue to grow. Screw the phishers..

I've seen many scams like this, heck, even my friend and I did a scam with fake sites ( but for a game) and it was like 5 years ago! How is it still a viable way to scam? Don't people like, i don't know, learn? Also I've seen programs where you just enter url and it creates a fake one!

Well the scammers keep changing it slightly. The main thing now is to make people panic that they may have been hacked at which point they are not thinking rationally.

Everyday, scammers find creative ways to get people's accounts be it email, social media, etc. Sucks that they use the concerned person tactic a lot and even more sad that people fall for the concern. I agree. Type the address on your own. Safer that way. Kudos for the heads up. Now that is real concern.

I'm in a freelance FB group for my country and I read there once that one freelancer has this friend who works for a company that asks them to collect a quota of emails and personal information per day. I think the range was 100-500. So what those people in there do is place a fake job listing in platforms like Upwork and tell people to send their complete and modified CV. After they gather enough from the fake job listing, the job disappears suddenly :|

This is really weird to hear about the phishing email to the users for making them to click on the link. please avoid such kind of email which makes you to click to recover or open account or activate or deactivate, now a days there are much craze of ETH among the users so there are also many scammers are attacking like the spamming and phishing mails to users.
please guys never ever try to click on such given links
always make sure that you're logging to your Myetherwallet by saved Bookmarks only. or check their domain name to make sure they are real of clone of that main MEW wallet site.
these kind of bad practices are being done by scammers and attackers so please be advised and save your funds & tokens.
