How it works
ETH Angels
Making it easy for people to easily report crypto scams to a friendly, memorable, single point of contact.
Michael is in team that maintains https://etherscamdb.info and the https://github.com/MetaMask/eth-phishing-detect tool for Ethereum blacklists/whitelists associated with scams.
Charlotte works in finance in London specialising in KYC and online identity security.
The problem
Why do people seeking to contribute to ecosystem security need to report to many different organizations? Why do multiple organizations need to process/verify the same user-submitted data? Having to replicate the same process by different organizations is a waste of time and resources.
The solution
ethangels.org provides a single point of contact where people can report crypto scams. Verified scam and phishing data will then be propagated to organisations including MetaMask, MyEtherWallet, ETH Address Lookup and EtherScamDB who provide security tools.
This will reduce the current need for people to report scams to multiple points of contact (with their different submission requirements).
It also helps avoid duplication in the scam verification process for these organisations.
