Dear ********,

Thank you for your payment,you can download BitCoin Extractor from here--> http://ge.tt/[SCAM-VIRUS]8GYY0Ta/v/0?c , after opening program you will need only to enter your wallet adress and click extract BitCoins and recive it to your wallet,if there will be some problem please notify me.

Thx one more time for buying BTC.

Have a nice day.

Please beware of this scam. I'm not sure how this user got my eBay username, but I suspect it's got something to do with user "zoki0307" whom I contacted about his fake SC Single some days ago.

And what about you guys take down those links that are still alive and most probably lead to malware?
You can leave the link, but don't make it clickable(add some spaces in between, for example), please, or you may get the exact opposite of what you intended.

Not sure what others think, but downloading a program to your computer like this, that's asking for trouble. You can' protect people against their own stupidity.
