Before some time I was checking my email and I received a message with this.

Suddenly I was like hmm I just woke up and haven't done any exchanges yet and I am seeing this email.

I just copied the link location of that id and I found this.

And when I hit enter it navigates you to that URL which redirects you to fake blockchain.info page where when you type your ID and pass your BTC will be gone in a seconds.

I just wanted to warn you, to not attempt on such a phishing site or your BTC may gone. Please be careful and open your eyes widely

Regards causevd,

Holy cow. I guess next time he'll include a fee....

Nice info, You have any idea How they get our email ids?

They are just spamming and I don't know how they have my email ...

My spam has skyrocketed since I started signing up on BTC sites.  I'm sorry I didn't use a separate email.

I think many of the gambling sites or may be bitcoin related sites are leaking out the information.

So these spambasters are just in search of finding victims.

Always keep 2 factor - authorization, that should be better.

Dam, that's look bad. Most people don't have auth enable.

Hopefully nobody gets catched with this simple trick..

Reported it to Blockchain

I have informed both Dutch websites they are (probably) hacked. As far as I can see both websites use an old version of Joomla which has some major security leaks.

Thanks for sharing this.  That's really interesting question how they get our email - maybe it's really cause of forums.

When I was signing up for faucets awhile back, I would get a lot of these phishing emails. Even some addressed from Google.

Just be safe guys and watch out with what you doing on the internet or what you downloading.
And yeah also I had the same problems when I was signing up on some faucets ... I was receiving a lot of spams !

Thanks for sharing it man but its a very simple technique which anyone with a little techie knowledge can figure out just need to look at the url and the trick fails I wonder these ass holes still have thier hopes high in these rock ages ideas !!

But there are still people who can fall on this trick... and they will lose their BTC.

thanks for the information ;D .. we need to increase our level of awareness and security with this kind of trick.. 8) .. hacking, phishing, spamming, add-on download file attachment and whats next? :o

Just be careful and always use two factor authentication. Also make sure you carefully read the links and that's all. You will be safe!

 I got this email too, I new this is scam, because the amout of bitcoin. It was -180.998 Btc and I never had so much. I am lately registered or subscripted on few bitcoins related sites , faucets , etc. From this time I am receiving tons of spam. From now I will never use registration on Bitcoin sites before checking. Let's face it Bitcoin world is full of scammers , spam , hacking. I am reading each day posts about new scamm , phishing attempt or hacked site and stolen Bitcoin. All big bitcoin exchangers where hacked and Btc stolen. This is killing Bitcoin and is a real fear for people holding bitcoins.  I am happy with my 0.0045 Btc in wallet.

I think this is coming from faucets or that kind of sites. Be careful with your info, never use the same username/pass either.

Phishing has been so old that even fishermen stopped fishing :P

But don't be so sure because nowadays there are still people who don't even look into the web address and just rush.. so after they are going to make a mistake it will be too late and they are going to regret for it.

I too get these rubbish mails.
Watch out!
