Re: Ethereum Beacon - scam project / phishing website asking for private keys
I am interested to see developers reaction to your claims.
Not claims though (speculations or any other unfounded accusations), it's just facts. Ethereum Beacon is a phishing website praying on noobs to import their private keys and be entitled to some non-existent EBEA coins. These scammers are so dumb they haven't even changed downloads page title you get on browsers tab; it says "Downloads Ethereum Basic".
Ethereum Basic vs. Ethereum Beacon
A snapshot of the ETH network will be take on May 16, 2019, and 16:00 GMT. All ETH holders will be entitled to free ETBC coins at a 1:1 ratio. Please note that only personal blockchain wallets can participate in the distribution of ETBC.

Both websites have the exact same extension:
