Just a question to PhoenixMiner admin - have you noticed a new website recently pop up that uses your name? It is the first result on Google:

*FAKE WARNING FOR SEO OPTIMIZATION*
https://phoenixminer.org/
*FAKE WARNING FOR SEO OPTIMIZATION*

It looks very suspicious and shady. I thought I'd warn everyone that this is occurring. Never download any files from any website that is not posted by the Official PhoenixMiner account.



I found that site about a month ago, and used their program for a couple weeks before I found the real deal here!

At the very bottom of the page it says "Disclaimer: This isn't an official PhoenixMiners site. No binary files were affected. All rights belong to their respective owners."

While others here have said the exe looks ok, and they just added quick links to the pools, its always best to get it from the source, of course, of course!

I don't agree - it looks completely fake and dangerous (or suspicious at the least...)

It is full of amateurish statements and web design elements - you can tell for certain that it is a scam website. Even in the footer, all the "Community" links just lead to Ethereum social media accounts. There is no info about who is behind the site, no contact - nothing. As well, all the download links lead to some shady hosting website and the downloads are "protected" with a password.

There is nothing real, genuine and authentic about this fake, scam, most likely malware-ridden site. We must find a way to take it down IMMEDIATELY.
