Title: Watch out, noreply@bitcointalk.org scam e-mails.
Post by: Tier on November 23, 2013, 06:11:34 PM
Not saying bitcointalk.org is scamming! It's junk e-mail, obviously a scam.
I'm simply confused as to how my e-mail was put onto this person's list. It's private and I'm a new member. (EDIT: E-mail isn't private. ;3)
Somewhat confused! Overall though.. watch out.

I got an e-mail a moment ago consisting of the following:

This belongs to the scam sub.
Currently, no BTC has been sent to this address, fortunately.
