Bitcoin Forum

recently i started getting phising emails from various well known businesses such as btc-e , minereu , and many other exchange sites.

Not sure if it is only me but is there something i am missing? I will get about 4-5 a week. Anyone else having this same problem?

I would say that it is likely that someone somehow found out that your email address is somehow linked to someone who has some level of bitcoin. This person probably sold your email as part of a larger list and people are trying to steal your bitcoin.

My advice is to simply ignore and delete these emails.

There's been so many bitcoin site hacks over the years that if you've been in it long enough it's all but guaranteed you have an email on a list somewhere.  If you're lucky, you used a throw-away/spam only address.  MtGox and Bitstamp both had database compromises that at the very least dumped a complete list of all their users emails on multiple occasions.

Just be careful about opening attachments as usual (aka: don't do it).  I probably get about a dozen a week with .jar files attached pretending to be invoices/miner screenshots.

Never download or open attachments in emails you don't know.   ;)

if i received some emails hose likely a phising attempt, just report it to google as spam
be careful with that, many people lose their bitcoin after open email's attachment from unknown sender
