Title: Multibit phishing, beware! Post by: williamj2543 on December 10, 2014, 02:44:10 AM Just got an email from "multibit" forwarding to a site that looks exactly the same and the domain is slightly different. Here is the email:

It gets really worrying when there are phishing attempts and you know that email addresses have been leaked. Title: Re: Multibit phishing, beware!

It gets really worrying when there are phishing attempts and you know that email addresses have been leaked. yes forward the email but dont send it, scroll down. Not only will it tell you who all the email went to but where the email actually came from. I can bet info@multibit.org is not the original email address this was sent from.

User #1 on the scammed list. I wonder how they do it, reading between the lines and scanning for the download button...Title: Re: Multibit phishing, beware!

MulITbit and mulTIbit .. not that easy. Quite good scam, just hm.. I didn't subscribe for multibit newsletter, so.. why mail? That would make me suspicious. Title: Re: Multibit phishing, beware!
