Thanks for posting this especially with the example pics. Will the constant stream of new crypto folks its easy to forget that others may not have figured out giving away your wallet private key(s) is the same as letting a stranger have your PIN number or house key.

Thanks this is exactly why I posted, for the newbies to be reminded that these scams are real and everywhere. It's easy to forget when you're seasoned.
Just noticed it got pinned, thanks admin!

Very good point, I heard about MyEtherWallet phishing sites recently, they're increasingly popular. If you have any screenshots to add the collection it would be useful!

It's extremely important! Keep attention and if you see any form/topic/website asking for private keys, report it to moderation.

Coinbase phishing scam for ERC20 tokens added to the list. That didn't take long!

Because unless you have read a thread like this, then newbies often fall for this, as you said. Remember that these newbies often learn about airdrops and "free money" before they learn about public keys and private keys, namely giving out the former and securing the latter.

This sticky isn't for seasoned airdrop participants who know better, it's for those who are new.
