Is metamask-simple-guide-for-new-users.blogspot.com legit or a scam?
Brand-new MetaMask phishing site hosted on Blogspot with six antivirus detections and zero legitimate business signals.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

MT Intelligence
The domain was registered today and already carries multiple red flags. Six antivirus engines—including BitDefender, CyRadar, and alphaMountain.ai—flag it as phishing or malicious. The page impersonates MetaMask on a non-official Blogspot subdomain, a common tactic for harvesting wallet credentials. The site contains no contact email, phone, address, or social links—hallmarks of a disposable phishing operation. The body text instructs users to download MetaMask from the official site, but the framing on a fake domain is designed to build false trust before the credential harvest. The hosting IP shows six abuse reports, and the domain's zero-day age combined with crypto content and contactless design matches the fingerprint of a drainer-farm operation.

Crypto scam / wallet-drainer indicators
The page shows patterns common to crypto-investment scams, fake airdrops, and wallet drainers.
- Do not interact with metamask-simple-guide-for-new-users.blogspot.com
Do not enter credentials, deposit money, download files, or install browser extensions from this site.
- Never paste your seed phrase anywhere
Legitimate wallets, exchanges and support staff will never ask for your 12/24-word recovery phrase. Typing it into any website — even one that looks real — gives attackers full access to your funds.
- If you already connected a wallet
Revoke token approvals immediately using revoke.cash or Etherscan's Token Approvals tool. Move remaining funds to a fresh wallet (new seed phrase). Assume the original wallet is compromised.
- OpenReport the wallet and URL
File a report at IC3 (FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center) or your country's cybercrime portal. Recovery is unlikely, but reports help law enforcement map the network.
