Scam Alert: ElectrumPro is not an upgrade to Electrum

If you are starting a new brand, remember to buy all the domains associated with that name. Electrum is learning this the hard way.

Electrum, a popular bitcoin wallet service, uses electrum.org as its primary web address. “An alleged scammer has since bought the similar-sounding .com domain, which they’re using to mimic Electrum’s services. It’s styled as Electrum Pro, “the world’s most popular bitcoin wallet.”

Electrum took to Twitter to clarify that it does not own electrum.com and that it is likely a ‘bitcoin stealing malware’.
