Anti-Phishing Phrase

Fake pages can appear from time to time. Scammers may phish your account details using these fake pages. The Anti-Phishing phrase allows customers to link a custom word or phrase of their choice to their CoinSpot account. With this unique phrase enabled, you are able to identify the real CoinSpot login page. If your Anti-Phishing Phrase does not appear on the login page do not proceed with logging into your account.To enable this feature, follow the instructions below.

If you have enabled an Anti-Phishing Phrase which is NOT visible upon login, DO NOT proceed with logging in. Close the website browser and contact CoinSpot Support Team immediately.

Another good way to identify if you have pressed on a phishing link is to check the URL bar. Below we have provided users with two examples of what the URL address will look like before logging into the CoinSpot Website and during the 2FA stage.
