Idiot... Title: Re: Beware bitcointalk.org Post by: Normandoyle on December 23, 2014, 08:12:42 PM Scams like this are older than dirt. Why do people even try?
If somebody is going to be a scamming dirtbag, why not just create a mining virus? lmao Title: Re: Beware bitcointalk.org Post by: Vod on December 23, 2014, 09:58:46 PM HAHAHAHA is this for real? Maybe the only way for people like you to learn there is no free lunch is to let you get scammed. :-\ Title: Re: Beware bitcointalk.org Post by: hilariousandco on December 23, 2014, 10:09:24 PM HAHAHAHA is this for real? Yes, this is a real scam. Try it out to confirm if you like :D. Title: Re: Beware bitcointalk.org Post by: Chemistry1988 on December 23, 2014, 10:36:07 PM The content of the email is very much like https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=342018.0.
So the scammer has been doing this already for over a year... Title: Re: Beware bitcointalk.org Post by: hilariousetc on December 23, 2014, 10:50:53 PM It might not be the same person and just a copycat. These type of scans are very common and very easy to pull off with little effort.
Title: Re: Beware bitcointalk.org Post by: catena5260 on December 24, 2014, 01:57:48 AM How did they get the emails?
From site's database or by another way? Title: Re: Beware bitcointalk.org Post by: bitcreditscc on December 24, 2014, 04:36:40 AM How did they get the emails? From site's database or by another way? that is a good question Title: Re: Beware bitcointalk.org Post by: rammy2k2 on December 24, 2014, 11:04:46 AM i received it too, i guess forum database was stolen
Title: Re: Beware bitcointalk.org Post by: gogxmagog on December 24, 2014, 11:23:51 AM Judging by the style of writing it's a collaboration. Each account puppet and shit-poster running a purchased account in this forum gets to write one sentence each. After they run it through Google translate a couple times it makes perfect sense. 100% legit. I would invest but all my btc is tied up in a EDM festival scheme right now.
But seriously, I might have received that or at least similar mails. I get them on my phone and just delete, but last week I got caught off gaurd and got some exploit on my PC which robbed my hot wallet before I managed to catch it and fix. These guys are targeting us. My security has been much tightened and moving more so but it happens pretty quick. I still don't know for sure what I clicked on, it could have been a total look alike sight for all I know. Be Ever Vigilant!

Maybe the only way for people like you to learn there is no free lunch is to let you get scammed. :-\ Dorian Nakamoto got free lunch... Title: Re: Beware bitcointalk.org Post by: hilariousandco on December 24, 2014, 11:33:12 AM i received it too, i guess forum database was stolen Have you used your email address anywhere else? On any other forum? I haven't recieved anything. Title: Re: Beware bitcointalk.org Post by: The Bad Guy on December 24, 2014, 11:43:22 AM i received it too, i guess forum database was stolen Have you used your email address anywhere else? On any other forum? I haven't recieved anything. I haven't received anything too , beside who those spammers/scammers are able to get the email adresses of the users here ? It dosen't make sense , I'am pretty sure it's not manual and all done by a BOT so how do they get emails of the members here to send such a thing Title: Re: Beware bitcointalk.org Post by: hilariousandco on December 24, 2014, 11:49:37 AM A few bitcoin/crypto related sites have been compromised in the past. I think the Feathercoin forum possibly had their database compromised after a hack. I do occasionally get bitcoin spam so someone got my address from somewhere and they even unsuccessfully tried logging into it one time (there's nothing of value in there anyway).
Title: Re: Beware bitcointalk.org Post by: Shogen on December 25, 2014, 01:59:24 PM For those having received the email, you should list the sites you have previously registered with that particular email address. With enough people doing the same, we should be able to determine the site.

With enough people doing the same, we should be able to determine the site. Correct. You should compare pages where this email is registered. Someone sold your address to scammers. Title: Re: Beware bitcointalk.org Post by: HeroC on December 28, 2014, 05:15:15 PM Yep, it is just a scam. I got a similar email a while back
