Be Aware Of Fake Uniswap Website

If you land on a website and it looks suspicious, you will be careful. You will not interact with that website and stay away from that. How about landing on a website that looks legit but that's a fake website created by fraudsters?

CEO of Uniswap Labs and the creator of the Uniswap protocol Hayden Adams was very surprised to see a fake Uniswap website. It shows that bad actors put their effort to make it look legit and pretty convincing. You may not have any doubt looking at first glance.

Scammers provide Chinese community content on their fake website and give links to the original Uniswap app. When you as a visitor click the link, it will redirect you to the original Uniswap app, so you will have more trust in the site.

A one-hour Zoom long conference recording video was there on the website that was intended to increase credibility. Looks like they are from Uniswap holding higher positions. Hayden Adams, CEO of Uniswap Labs, does not even know those people on the video. He clearly mentioned that those people have no association with Uniswap or Uniswap Foundation.

It is shocking to see how far scammers could go to show something legit only to deceive people. Those scammers do everything to make people fall for the scam and get access to their wallets so that they can drain their crypto assets.

It is easy to make the mistake and interact with a scammer's website assuming that's the original one. The team of Uniswap works to decrease this kind of scam and takes down the domain of the fake website. Do you check out the URL before interacting with any website?

The fake website URL can be similar but it will not be the same. And checking out the URL can help you to avoid a lot of scams in the crypto industry. People use DeFi protocol for better security and safety without any restrictions. If you pay attention to which DeFi protocol you are interacting with, it will keep your crypto assets safe.
