The dash-wallet.com scam has been a trap that has caught several newcomers to Dash over the years. A typical problem faced by several cryptocurrency users is the setting up various sites that try to steal from the naive and onlookers through devious means such as fake wallets, fake cloud mining contracts, fake exchanges, etc.

The dash-wallet.com incidence has happened so often that there are several red flags raised all across community channels to possibly curb the situation which has been achieved to some extent while some still get scammed by the fake wallet site despite all these efforts.

Full working wallet with address
The site works fine and has no indications that scream spam at a first glance. The site works too perfectly well and goes to the extent of generating a working Dash address for deposits, during this process the wallet works flawlessly well not raising any suspicion. Deposits work well too, but when you try to conduct a transaction that send coins out of the wallet, tables suddenly turn. After entering your destination address and amount your transaction begins and takes forever to get confirmed.

Deposits work like charm

After an hour, the receiving address has received nothing
The bottom line is, you will not be able to send coins using the wallet causing your coins to disappear into thin air. It’s no fault of users who fall for this scam, apart from community channels there are no indications on the World Wide Web of the impending danger the site poses to users. When you enter search queries “Dash wallet”, “Dash web wallet” and “online Dash wallet” dash-wallet.com appears on the first page of search results at a very high rank.

On their contact page they have a form for to reclaim the 1 Dash lost above we sent an email to see if we could recover the missing Dash but unfortunately there has been no response yet. Dash-wallet.com is definitely a scam and should under no circumstances be used to store Dash. You can read our wallet guide for alternatives. Have you encountered any other Dash scams or are you a victim? Leave your thoughts in the comment section.

3. netcraft.com:
We classify phishing as a website impersonating another company in order to
obtain personal information from its customers. In this case, the site you
submitted doesn't seem to be impersonating an existing company, which is why
we didn't block it.

Thank you for information.
In fact users estimate it as phishing (IMO) because popular cryptocurrency Dash (it is not company - but decentralized project, DAO) declares all supported wallets on the official site here
https://www.dash.org/downloads/ (text from the bottom of page: There is no official web wallet and none are recommended. Several cases of web wallets not allowing users to withdraw funds have been detected. We strongly advise against them because the user loses control of the funds and their security can’t be proven.)
This Scam site http://dash-wallet.com/ impersonates as web-wallet for Dash Cryptocurrency in order to obtain visitors funds and steal them.

5. netcraft.com:
Hi Alex,
Thank you for this information. We have added "Dash" (dash.org) to our list of
companies, and blocked this submission as phishing.

looks like netcraft has ublocked? :disappointed: http://www.dash-wallet.com/ today (it starts opening for me again) - so I think scammer is also fighting for his «business" actively from his side :disappointed:

So please everybody else - send letter to
[email protected] and describe them this situation in good English (IMO this task is not for the team, but for the community - especially those ones who have been scammed)

My opinion is: we can close dash-wallet.com, but scammer can open dozens of new "dash-wallets" immediately as soon as in profitable for him.
So this fight is going to be permanent with no chance to win completely
So the right way of fighting IMO - to fill all first places on google with our own search results for
https://www.google.ru/?q=dash+web+wallet#newwindow=1&q=dash+web+wallet
«dash online wallet» and all other popular search phrases.
