Bitcoin Forum

I just got the following e-mail, supposedly from BlockChain.info:

Since our last update on our servers, we worried about the size of wallets. And many of these wallets are no funds, no movement and no logins.

Because to avoid future problems with our servers, we are requesting that all users wishing to continue with their wallets to make a brief confirmation.

If you want to continue using your account on Blockchain, please click the link below and confirm your wallet:

https://blockchain.info/wallet/confirm/

If within 24 hours we do not receive your confirmation, your wallet will be erased and all their bitcoins will be reset.

However, the URL shown in the e-mail actually links to:

http://x2host.biz/wallet_confirm_step_47f3445fd4565rtg23544555213f2ge23454ewj4hj45566gheehj4535hjgjd_activate457eweyu4234234jhf_id=3ybnj4555sddf3442237.htm

Just an FYI to anyone with a wallet over @ BlockChain.info.

Cheers!

That's strange. There's been more and more Blockchain phishing sites appearing. I usually tell the difference by whether my Identifier is remembered or not. However, I haven't gotten any E-mails of these phishing sites?

That's definitely a scam, blockchain does not even have access to your bitcoins ::)
And the name that the real blockchain.info uses in emails is just "Blockchain".  What email was this sent from?

I pulled up the header info on the email and it appears to have come from xushwwhi@lima.rivalserver.com

Definitely a phishing site, do not believe it.

Yes there are a lot of scamming attempts with blockchain.info, never click a link like this, or on Google ads, always login by typing the website itself or bookmarking it.

The bad English in the e-mail is a dead giveaway tho, but I bet a lot of people will fall for this when they see they will lose their wallet/bitcoins as described in the e-mail, however the real blockchain.info would never send an e-mail like this, it's just impossible every user of their site to respond in 24 hours before they lose their wallets/bitcoins.

I also haven't received any e-mail from fake blockchain.info scammers, but thanks for the warning.

Everyone beware of all the scamming going on!

Its known as a phishing site. They have also appeared on google search featured ads areas. Be careful what you click and youre better off typing a URL directly!!

How successful can these people be?

If you have 2 factor authentication, they will not be able to access the account?

Well the password on transfers, will not help you, if they could login successfully.

They hoping it's a newbie without 2FA then.  :D

Just another reason, not to save your stash on online wallet services. Keep it offline in a paper wallet.

That is a really sneaky one. Let that be a lesson to all of us not to blindly believe. One thing I do if i get email like that. If i do decide to go to say blockchain.info I make damn sure I type it in myself and type it correctly never ever just trust the link.

Clearly a fake email and a scam, report it immediately and mark it as spam.

Obvious phishing email IMO.
Whenever you receive an email from your bank, bitstamp, blockchain.info, etc, don't panic, and don't click the links in it.

Nothing new, another phishing site
Author of this thread, good job

Thanks for the heads up dude, phishing sites these days have really gotten more and more convincing. That's why everyone should use 2FA for their wallets.

That's scam mail, delete it and don't open any possible attachments. Typical mails with time frame: you have 24 hours or you have to do this and that, blah blah. Just delete it and forget about it.

This is definitely scam. You shouldn't open it

As soon as you log in its fine I guess.

If you have logged in using that phishing link, your password would have been leaked and your bitcoin would have been gone if you don't have 2FA enabled.

If its not linking to blockchain that message is just used a boiler template.

And yes this is a obvious red flag if the origin is different.

Just ignore it :)

Scam 100%

if you find another email like that
don't forget to report it to google so they can block it and mark as spam too
it will help another user

clearly not blockchain.info link

Big thanks to the author of this thread. I never got any emails like that but now ill be prepared and if i ever get smth it not gonna cause any confusion.

tks guy
I got it

Should be a scam.

You can even tell by the language that it's a scam. :)

some time hacker's send this kind of phishing mail to hack your account :P so be careful about those spam mail if you don't want to lose your wallet and your money BTC. ignore that kind of email in your mailing account :) be aware from scammers here :)

Scam blockchain only store your wallet in encrypted form. I get many scam messages in each day. Just ignore them.

Exactly. The decryption and encryption of the blockchain.info wallet are done on client side, but not server side.
