The first time i joined the cryptoshere, MEW is the wallet that they kept on saying that is good but with the phishing websites that target users i am worried that i will fall victim to these scammers so i look for another safe wallet. I found Trust wallet and i find it good and safe as well and very convenient to use even if you are in a go.
You don't need to worry with those phishers if you aren't clicking any suspicious website that looks like MEW.
And you can prevent yourself from being a victim of these phishing links, you just need to bookmarket MEW and don't access through search engines. That's it and you are totally fine by doing that. Most of the victims are clicking those MEW a-like sites on their emails hoping to get some airdrops.
