Post by: OuterTech on March 31, 2018, 09:48:10 AM This kind of phishing is not something new, I also received a lot of phishing email like this from fake email of online wallet that I'm using :). In this case, I think this is not an official email from credits, maybe it's just a fake email. Hacker can easily get your email from any spreadsheet or something like that :).

Post by: xenomorphe1 on April 05, 2018, 10:38:39 AM Never trust a giveaway if you need to send something in exchange.
They post on every Twitter account about crypto. Maybe a botnet or something like this. The scammers have already received a lot of ETH... I suppose it is a big team of scammers. Because a lot of them lie and say that they received the coins. And also they like this post so it is the first comment that is being seen by everyone. |
