Fake trading platform spoofing MyEtherWallet (MEW); not the legitimate https://www.myetherwallet.com/. DFPI received two complaints. The first resident was approached online by a stranger and sent at least $10,000 of BTC to 3CRWadaPkuqybLEb2VBGAEGtfNckoFnYJR on mewchain.exchange. The second sent $50,000 and, on trying to withdraw, was told to pay "taxes" promptly or face account restrictions and penalty fees; they listed the addresses below.
