Title: Scam donation email posing from BitcoinTalk.org
Post by: naypalm on December 18, 2017, 12:04:00 PM
I just received this 40 minutes ago. First thing I noticed was that the Bitcoin address was different. Is this a scam? The email header looks looks like its coming from some paint company...

Header (https://www.uberbills.com/original_msg.txt), obfuscated for my personal email.

Yes, the address is different from the legit donation page (https://bitcointalk.org/donate.html). Also, I never heard before that bitcointalk is sending any email to it's users about donation for having a donator or vip status. Anyway, you still need to PM theymos before donating so I think if this is a scam, it won't work.
