Websites that look like exchanges or web wallets but are fakes have plagued some of the top Bitcoin websites. This type of scam is common in the Bitcoin world and on the web in general. Scammers hope to make money by stealing login information from users or misleading them into sending Bitcoins.

Always double-check the URL and only use secure websites (those that start with https://) to avoid this problem. If a website or claim seems doubtful, check to see if it’s listed on Badbitcoin.org (www.badbitcoin.org). This is not an exhaustive list, but it includes many of the bad players.
