Title: Is this malware from 4bc.co or just spam? Post by: Sir Lagsalot on January 04, 2014, 09:13:34 AM All direct links to potential malware are blocked - be careful navigating to the site mentioned below as it may contain further malware!!
Hey guys, I just received an unsolicited email from "Martin from 4BC" <bitcoin@4bc.co> which is full of links and contains a zip file with a .exe inside, plus an attached PDF. 4BC's launch thread on this forum (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=253768.0) shows the founder has a very negative Trust score. His Trust summary (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=122859) mentions malware and phishing. His email to me claims he sent the message to me because I'm a member of 4BC, which I am not. This has all the signs of foul play. He probably got my public email address from this forum. Here is the email text: " Dear users, I wish you a very Happy New Year 2014! If you are worried about the future, about increasing inflation, and the factors that make for such a nervous economy, I have some ideas you should seriously consider. Or maybe everything is perfect. And you are totally happy with the way things are. If so then THROW THIS EMAIL AWAY... BECAUSE YOU DON'T NEED ME. Over the last three months, I've written an eBook about online marketing. Specifically aimed at the Bitcoin community; this eBook contains 95% of everything I know about marketing! Since you are a 4BC user, I'm sending it to you at no Charge.
