We have noticed a recently created Russian copycat of Viewly, sneakily named Viuly. At first, we found it funny, but soon the frightening realization set in - some people will unfortunately fall for it.
We believe the impostor is trying to capitalize on the upcoming view.ly token sale, by confusing the newcomers and/or taking advantage of people that hear about Viewly sale, but miss it.
Where can I find the real Viewly?
- https://view.ly - Viewly
- https://alpha.view.ly - Viewly Alpha
- https://t.me/viewly - Telegram group
Which sites are not related to Viewly
- viuly.com
- viuly.io
- viewly.com*
*viewly.com is not fraudulent, they just don't want to sell their domain at this time.
We expect more sites to pop up, some of them more obviously fake (ie. direct copies of the website), as Viewly gains traction. We will keep this list up to date on our blog. If you find an impostor or misleading site, please let us know.
Be vigilant, stay safe. - Viewly Team
It's awful that we have to contend with scammers like this so early on. Resteemed and I'll make a seperate post as well.

Thanks for clarification, I saw some news on yahoo and was wondering if that was actually you or not. Looks like another money-grab to me, with impossible features.

Same thing for the Steemit impostors. I clicked a link recently on a post that promised a good trick to make money on steemit. You were then redirected to a website that looked exactly like steemit and then you were asked to log-in... I think you could guess where I'm going with this...
Obviously I didn't do it, but people will fall for it. I'm not sure if that's a bad thing though, as people who are that stupid probably deserved it.
