WARNING - NVO Token Scam on SLACK using MyEtherWallet
NVO Token "Alert" Scam
If you took part in the NVO ICO - there appears to be a new scam going round on Slack using the same social engineering method of pretending to be an alert that I warned about yesterday:
Do not click the links and do not fall for it.
It will likely take you to a fake MyEtherWallet site that will then steal all your tokens.
Please share the warning.
Remember DON'T EVER CLICK links to banking or wallet websites in messages, slack or email. Consider them to be scams by default.

Yes.
i saw this on twitter :)
thanks for the heads up!
You're welcome!
Its just sad that so many people are so greedy and try to rip-off people who are doing their very best to earn and keep some money or cryptocurrencies. Those online thieves always keep doing their best to come up with new creative ways to steal from people, i've read about this and it disgusts me! I'm upvoting this in the hope your post will alert some people to be smart and dodge the filthy deceiving scammers with their phishing sites.
Yes there will always be unethical people who will steal from others.
Unfortunatly there is, and I can only encourage people who are trying to protect some people from the bad guys with spreading information about these scammers and what to do or avoid. I know someone who got scammed online for simply being to naive and that alerted me in the first place to be more cautious and since then I try to alert my environment such as friends/family or people I know online to be extra careful with personal information or transactions made online on an unknown website. If more people are aware of phishing websites, the bigger the change it will not succeed for the scammers.
Yes I think so. Knowledge is power.
Thanks for the useful information.
NP:)
Thank you, this is very important, especially for beginners on the platform!
I heard about this.
It will probably be a good idea to click no links on Slack.
Sucks to here people losing their keys and inevitably their money.
Thanks for spreading the word
Yes in fact that is the best policy. Ignore all links in Slack. If concerned type the link in for the sites yourself.
Thanks for your information...people need to do some research before investing in new ico read the whitepaper you will get some idea about the project
Well that goes without saying. In this case the ICO is legit, the message in slack is a scam.
Good info. Thanks
You're welcome!
