Beware of impostors and scams trying to mimic Viewly

avatar
(Edited)

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?

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

As Steem Gains Value and Attention (like now), the scams will be more frequent and more aggressive.

Stay safe, steemians! Good looking out @furion

@furion do you mind if I share this post on my personal blog? It's off-site I don't mean resteem, I'll run the first paragraph and link back to your STEEMIT post here. Sound cool?

All Done, Is there somewhere private I can send you a link? I wouldn't mind doing this for more posts in the future.

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.

Well, it was like steem.a.abc or something, I'll try looking it up later today. It's not steem.a.abc, but something like it, if I remember it correctly.

Everyone keep your script- and adblockers running and no clickety on anything you're not certain is the real thing.

Thanks for the headsup @furion

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.

Why don't you work on the DTube project instead of creating a new one?
