I've seen this recently for ADA as well. Seems to be a pretty common scam unfortunately. Anything where you need to actually "send" money to receive something should send alarm bells off in people's minds, but the dumb masses continue to fall for it and so it will prevail, just like extended car warranties.<p>If you are using a DNS filter service it should protect you against newly registered domain names and would prevent you from accessing this domain (coin-ether[.]com); beautiful site too by the way.

It makes even Walter White's fictitious drug empire seem like a amateur hour by comparison in terms of net profit and just the massive scale of this operation. Even hollywood cannot create a better crime than this.<p>90% of the victim wallets in these scams are Coinbase wallets. I do not know why lawmakers and attorney generals are not taking this more seriously given that Coinbase is an American company and Americans are being defrauded to the tune of millions of dollars a week. Crypto crime is bigger than drug crime given that crypto is worth $2 trillion. It should be taken as seriosly as such.
There is a live ticker box at the bottom of their web page. I wonder if these are actual transactions. If so, it's quite intense to watch folks lose their coin in real time.
I don't understand. Can someone explain the actual scam happening here? How does he make money off of people thinking Etherium/Bitcoin will skyrocket in value?
