There is circulated bulk mail going around disguised to be a newsletter from https://www.blockchain.com. The mail is said to notify the receiver to claim a sum of DOGE coin for their usage of https://www.blockchain.com.

Clicking on the link takes you here:- https://login.xn--bockchan-i2a75f.cam/#/login which is a pseudo website of blockchain meant to steal your wallet details and password. Ensure you do not fall for this.

Ensure you check any websites very well to ensure you're logging on to the right website before inputting your login details in order to avoid loss of your accounts to malicious spam messages senders.

Yes, the scammers are very active now, but I would remove this link, I understand you are warning, but people are curious and they will open the link. You can replace it with a screenshot.

Classic phishing attempt. Similar scams have already been made with Coinbase and other exchanges. The crypto community is quite well aware of these types of scams, but still most of them are targeted at classic bank users. Either way, it's always good to have double protection - 2FA or similar.

From that link that you have posted, it's a very suspicious link that I would never click in my life. With that pattern of links that we mostly receive in our emails, I'll just have to delete it or just do nothing with it. AFAIK, blockchain.com wallet doesn't even support Dogecoin so that's already a red flag.
Why would they give Doge if they are not even supporting it? the logic.

you should make the phishing link in your post off mate
because its risky if someone click the link and forgot if the link was a phishing link
please make the ink unclickable my friend
anyway, thanks about this informations

when i used blockchain.com wallet i received this kind of email a lot, it took me a long time blocking and deleting them every day. it was boring to have to receive a lot of emails a day like that and where it irritated me was that i only used my blockchain.com wallet once a week so there would be no reason to have too many blockchain.com emails so i didn't fall for it

Got scammed 2 weeks ago, clipboard malware.  Went to send some coinage (~$600) to binance and didnt double check my address on the outgoing when I copied and pasted it.  Apparently theres a virus that will change your intended wallet address to some other guys and I got GOT.  Fuckin A  :o

Pro tip, always double check lmao

Just report or block those Email senders , I don't Pay attention to those
sending emails coming from people i don't know.

Specially now that we already knew how hackers are getting into our accounts or from Google lists, better never give them a damn .

my mistake in following the bounty or airdrop campaign. some may also sell spreadsheet files complete with e-mails to people who wish to take advantage of them.
I also get an email like that. and even a lot of incoming email spam provides recommendations for airdrop and event campaigns.
what is worse is that some are on behalf of a large exchange platform that is holding an airdrop.
I will ignore it.

Appreciated the heads up. As other will still fall for this scam tactics, we shouldn't be tempted to click any links containing free coins on it as we know this might cause some problems at the end like hacking or scam activity.
 
 Just don't fall for any of kind of suspicious way of scamming like this one. Free coins on email are 100 % scams. Phishing links shouldn't also be clicked as some links contains malware when you click it.

Good catch, there has been a spike on blockchain attack recently, I recently saw one myself, when I try to search from Google. And if this kind of email goes to your inbox, think twice before giving your credentials. You don't want to be the next victim of this kind of phishing attacks. Used our common sense, don't hurry on your decision and be wise.

Scam were posted in any social media sites to attract victims but sad to say that there are still a lot of people fall from this kind of trap aiming to get a free crypto coin.  Grateful that this kind of thread were being talk here in forum to warn each and everyone about this scam tactics so we could be aware of this, we couldn't prevent it i guess but the awareness that this had brought to us was a big help. Maybe we should also do some research about it, if somethings smell's fishy to us.

It's very slippery when I see the phishing link that is displayed, I'm not even worried, it's just that those who are stuck can't see the difference between the real Blockchain link and the fake link.
teiti is important, especially if you can still be tricked with classic phishing as said by @bitgov.

We have to be careful about what we are asked to stake, claim or to play faucets. Lately with the Doge bull and any other altcoin that has bulled, scammers would like to use them as trap because they know people will be interested to have them, this is simple mathematics.

Thanks for the heads up, that's why its advised that we should separate our wallet/work emails with anything that would put our email address in the public domain. Better yet avoid crypto wallets that don't give you access to your private keys to avoid such.,if you have to, bookmark your sites.

This is not a new way to scam people, this is an old yet effective way for them since many are still biting this and putting too much information on that link.

If you received any link that is not familiar with you, don’t click anything and never share your important information. Don’t sacrifice yourself just to get $5 bonus free money that’s not worth the risk.

Good thing that you have used your own common sense and not able to fall for these cheap tricks.These modus had been known wayback where phishing do sent out through emails

and if you arent that aware nor not be careful then you would really be get victimized if you wont really be giving out second thoughts when something you do received some offers

came out from nowhere.This is should how people do behave out when they do saw something suspicious.If you dont like to lose money then use up your own common sense that will
save your ass up.

Scammers are always on the loose. There are so many click bait emails offering some rewards or free money. It is up to the user how he will take it and check for the authenticity.  And most of them time, they will lure you to sign up for small amount of money.

Just to give a related example, has anyone here received email from fake "PayPal" account saying your account is suspended? But if you checked the originating address, it is fake as it can be. Now, these scammers already infiltrated crypto and they will do anything to deceive you especially now that crypto is trending in the market.

This is not new scam though, this is one of the favourite way, broadcast email with phishing link inside.

The best thing to do is for you to create a separate and fresh new email. Your email account might have been leaked already that's why it is included in the email blast.

I will also suggest to the OP to put the link in inside a [ code ] [ /code ] so that members here will not inadvertently click on that malicious link.

Not new it's an old way of scam which is phishing email but still many get victims especially the newbies. We must read carefully before to click the link because the internet is not safe many hacks and scams going on, better to bookmark the site that you always use.

It is obvious that anyone who checks what they are doing would be smart enough to know where they are, it could be exactly the same website but you would know from the links of it and phishing of it as well.

I have received a million mails probably from "apple" that was fully fake, all they wanted was for me to connect my apple to their website so that they could buy their own app from store and get money from that, it has been a tactic for years, probably over a decade, and same mail phishing is something that we do for a long time now as well, there is really no way to spot the difference unless you check the link itself.

I am smarter now so instead of actually clicking, I just hover my mouse on it and on the left bottom side it shows where it directs, so I understand that its phishing even before I click the website because you can see it when you face that too many times and gain experience.
