Title: [SCAM] Google Services & Blockchain Info Wallet Checker Post by: vesperwillow on January 15, 2014, 04:58:09 AM If you get this email DO NOT CLICK ANY LINKS - report it as Phishing / Scam / Spam to your provider
Just got this email through an email account I use for mining, which means it came from one of the pools I'm on. My email is set to hidden on all pools. Not sure if it's a scam, but it SURE looks like one. On examining the hidden link data, it redirects to a google drive to load some file. I didn't click on it. I'll include the header data below, and a pic of the email. I won't include the email as I wouldn't want anyone clicking the link. Looks like someone exploited a relay somewhere. Anyone else see this? What makes me curious is the email account is for mining pools. If it's hidden, someone had server-side access.. http://s21.postimg.org/svi7z4zhz/bitscam.jpg Quote Received: by 10.216.177.133 with SMTP id d5csp247824wem; Tue, 14 Jan 2014 20:45:32 -0800 (PST) X-Received: by 10.194.176.163 with SMTP id cj3mr121390wjc.8.1389761132178; Tue, 14 Jan 2014 20:45:32 -0800 (PST) Return-Path: <apache@tifon.es> Received: from tifon.es (tifon.es.

Wanting you to upload your file.. and they have an offline/imitation copy of the blockchain website.
Nice. I heard one of the pools got hacked today. Will try to find out more.

Not sure if it related, but I did get an email from an old pool that I haven't used for months... https://i.imgur.com/iBY1cQP.png Title: Re: [SCAM] Google Services & Blockchain Info Wallet Checker Post by: cross1943 on January 15, 2014, 06:22:18 AM wow....cool scam..But...it's use mail scam...囧
