Title: Beware of email phishing attempt disguised as from Binance
Post by: ikhub on March 15, 2018, 12:50:41 PM
The following is a screenshot from a mail I received today from "no-reply@binance2017.cf"

The email id from which it was sent and the link where it is  taking when clicked on the button is clear enough to understand that it is a phishing attempt. Please note the address (though it has an ssl padlock, which of course one can get free from several sources).

I am posting this to alert others not to click on links from this type of emails. Be very careful of any offer to be too good to be true. Alway check the website url and the address from where the email has come.

Thank you for sharing, because sometimes I also get some links from my mailbox.
But most of the time these links are phishing links, so I think I'll get attention.

People will really do anything just to get your hard work money. I really hate this people, Why don't they just do a job instead of robbing people. I know it easier to rob than to do jobs, but hey, at least no one will suffer if you do a job instead of robbing.

I think they are trying to scam and this always happens to new entrants to the market but if you are a big investor then the situation is very unlikely because they will weigh very carefully and learn about that information. If that is the case, click on the link, but if it does not, you should remove it

Why are all these scammers trying to do all these to discourage people from investing into crypto. Their activities these days is becoming too much, that it causes a lot of panic. Thanks for sharing this vital information. I believe no one fell victim of this.  How on earth will some ask you to send something, just for him  to double the same thing for you. If you know you want to give free gifts, why don't you give without taking anything in return.

Hey man, that is standard practice for basic internet behavior. There is no company in the world who will ever ask you for your information, or ask you to log in from an email link. Just ignore any emails from any people. Binance is a huge target now, before it was MyEtherWallet. This is simply because they have all become too big and have too many users. 100,000 users and 1% success rate on scam means 1000 users!
