Title: [PHISHING][SCAM]Stellar airdrop by Bitcointalk Center Post by: witcher_sense on May 06, 2020, 08:33:49 AM Recently, I have recieved an email from a guy who call himself "Bitcointalk Center, and I was a bit confused because it's been a while since I last participated in any airdrop, especially stellar (XLM) one.
You can see a picture of this letter: https://i.gyazo.com/587199cd85ac5932721a52e4e194b5d8.png In the google form above I found some instructions regarding how to claim 7.500 XLM and the link to suspicious website, which is not official to Stellar company: Code: https://stellar-company.com/ In order to recieve airdrop you have to download their wallet or something like that and put there your XLM address. https://i.gyazo.com/75c7c0ef2ab7415a253aadd5f7fc912e.png I didn't install it since I have no virtual machine to run it safely and I checked it through VirusTotal and here is results: https://i.gyazo.com/47eacad35554195075eaec9ea0aec8a9.png As you can see, some engines detected trojan and I personally I believe that this whole airdrop is SCAM. Bitcoin Center is attacking bitcointalk users to steal their private keys or something like that. It is better for you to avoid such airdrops from unofficial websites and with use of suspicious infected wallets. Be safe!

I do not understand that they continue to send spam emails to many people to get victims so they can install those that have been infiltrated by a trojan / Malware virus. Code: https://stellar-project.com/ https://i.gyazo.com/b47c531480d4ebe1490c5b1aa5e12eaf.png I hope there are no victims by their deception with the lure of airdrop XLM.

I have also made a thread in Beginners & Help (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5251491.0) to warn the newbies. for me, the email comes from bittrex_n @ yahoo.com this mail.
Since they asked bitcointalk username in google form, that means it is sure that someone collected a huge amount of emails from this forum and frequently sending them emails.

Code: news.upbit@yahoo.com The originating email looks different but I'm sure this is still a plot in the scamer to send spam messages throughout the emails that have been sent. Can we prevent or filter out spam emails like this from entering the main city? annoying every time there is a notification like this spam email. |
