Bitcoin Forum

It's actually the first time this happens to me, but I just received an email, stating that “17.099848400 have been credited to your account” (it doesn't even mention the currency, but I assume it's Bitcoin due to the link shown).

I got it also. Wonder where the email dump came from. Everyone needs to report the email to Google for being malicious and they'll block it.

Yes, I've already marked it as spam.

I also got that, in the spam folder...

I  got it today,

but in my inbox.

I wonder why so many such emails are coming in daily. I mean, this could very well happen with Fiat as well.
So why only with bitcoin ..

It does happen with fiat, but your email spam filters are too good and you don't get to see them anymore.

I got this too but i clicked on the long link but the link was broken any suggestion what to do do i remove cache of my crhome ? help plx

I've just checked my spam and I haven't received anything like that. We shall look for common things between those who have received it.

Its Normal My spam folder is filled with these type of emails. I dont give them a f*. Because once i got scammed by this type of email. Once i received email pretending from PM that your information has been changed please for checking it click on this link. And when i clicked the link, How big fool am i, I didnt even check the link....And when i entered my password and username they taken it and withdraw my all money in PM.

So please dont open these type of email they are all scam.

Thanks

i received the same email today, i didn't open the link because it's too good to be true

but how did you know it's a phishing email?

You can try it by clicking on the link you will get your answer lol  ;D

LOL ;D
yeah i'll try and open the link, who knows may be i'll get 17 bitcoin ;D

Got the email,too.I reported it as spam.

Yeah, these emails plague a lot of folks inbox. The ones who are less-knowledgable about phishing attempts and their tactics are the ones who really need to be careful.

There was a guy yesterday over here saying he would give 10 btc for free if you sent him an email.. ofc i didnt sent him an email.
Probably trying to collect emails from btc users to do phishing.

I'am really wondering to be honest .. how do you guys get those Phishing attempts emails , you should ask this question to your selfs guys and share the last websites where you posted your email or registered or whatever . Because this phising attempt seem to be targeting BTC users only .
I personally never got anything on my email , only attempt to hack me was on Bitcointalk via private message which I posted it on the Meta section and a lot of people had that .

I check email not such message, btw thanks for the information and I am the more careful :)

I'm at the same page where you're at. Why would these emails target btc users? Or maybe there are also other non-btc users out there that has received the same message but we here at btt first discussed this matter.

Well whatever happens, don't click on that link. Just to be careful and sure.

Yes let me tell you from past two days im getting this email:

Subject: Update your gmail information


Please dont ever try this link they will hack your gmail account.

Best of luck

Thanks

yes I often received a phishing email is not just one time, but fortunately I was very careful. thanks for this information :)

I also just found this mail in my "Promotion"-task in gmail.
I am wondering, where they got my e-mail-address from

Its Obvious these scammer buy our email address from different sites where we are Registered using our email addresses.

Here in the UK, I have been receiving phishing emails as well from an exchange company coinfloor.
Definitely not good for a few days.

Anyone going to help me out ?

what was raw email header/body?

Be sure to triple check that the email address and url on the links are legit...

thanks for sharing this. i always ignore such Emails with titles like this. you have won, you have been credited, Nigerian prince loves you :D

There is a huge mafia of guys trying to find clueless people to launder money from then and they are sending tons of emails now. Take caution.

Hopefully all the people who have not discovered BTC yet are clicking these links, getting their computers bogged down with malware, going to get computer fixed, and learning to avoid these phishing attempts BEFORE they get into BTC and lose any BTC. Nothing like getting robbed in a hack to turn a n00b bitcoiner into a staunch anti-bitcoin evangelist.
