You`re thinking to change or to have a new Ethereum wallet? Do your research!!!
Sadly as info starts to spread around about cryptocurency more and more hackers are trying, and also they succed, in scamming people.
For my first Scam alert I would like to advise you not to deposit any money to the following Ethereum Wallet: https://www.first-eth.info/wallet
This wallet functions as follows:
At first is your identity confirmation - something very normal and trustwhorty. The second step is where you are starting to trust this website/wallet. They are not letting you deposit more as 50 dollars on your first deposit just until 7 days are passed. Afterwards you can deposit as much as you want.
Furthermore they are working with trustwhorty Partners from where you can deposit Ethereum direclty to your wallet. The websites from where you can buy directly Ethereum are : Bitpanda, Coinbase, Changelly. I am not saying that these 3 websites are Scam, because I would be lying. Until now its normal procedure where you do all things normally and there are no differences between other wallets or exchanges. The problem appears when you transfer your ethereum from your first-eth.info wallet. You give your wallet address in, transfer is made. You wait until is proccesed. You receive in the wallet the confirmation that the procedure was succesful and the Ethereum was transfered. I was very happy that all was going well and fast. My concern started after 2 hours from the processed payment. The Ethereum didn
t arrive anymore to my wallet.
I wrote a ticket, where i dont have any answer. It passed already 3 weeks since... I wanted to see where the scam is and I started researching. After 5 minutes I found where the scam is. All is ok until you check the transaction. Although you have entered your wallet address , the ethereum is sent to a totally different address and no one answers anymore. Please pay attention and make your research before trying to deposit or buy virtual coins!!! It
s an open market now and all trying to make as much money as possible.
You can see from the images below how all appears legit!
Take care!
