Title: Attempted Scam Email Post by: EricJ2190 on June 19, 2011, 11:34:42 PM I received this just now, claiming to be from <noreply@mtgox.com>:
Quote Dear Mt.Gox user, There has recently been a private new Bitcoin exploit program released that duplicates transaction fee's from the previous thousands of transactions and sends the BTC to your address. We're well aware that many Mt. Gox users have lost their Bitcoins due to the security breaches on our website in the last few days, so we decided it would be fair for those users to recoup at least some of their losses: You may check out the exploit here : [url removed] **Please read the enclosed tutorials prior to running the program for instructions.** This is our way of apologizing to our users for the massive problems we've been experiencing as of late, including the users who have lost alot of BTC over the past few days Thanks, The Mt.Gox team This is certainly a scam, so if you get this, DO NOT USE THE PROGRAM! From the headers: Code: Received: from perso1.free.fr (perso1.free.fr [212.27.63.203]) Title: Re: Attempted Scam Email Post by: Bit_Happy on June 19, 2011, 11:39:07 PM Sadly, the scams will cool down when the thieves see the real price of BTC back to ~0.25 to $1.
