Thank you DireWolfM14, I appreciate your reply. I had 2.2BTC on the way to me and I was about to notify the sender to not send the BTC. They sent and I transferred to Trezor with no problem. I'm glad you explained that, I agree with you and was also hopeful also that 3.3.4 be skipped. Thanks.

  Last week I lost several BTC to the Phishing scam, I was using a older version of Electrum. I told my story on this forum and received several responses that I appreciated. I like to hear from intelligent people. I like hearing what they think.
I downloaded version 3.3.3 onto a new PC and now I am getting a message in lower right-hand corner that says "UPDATE TO 3.3.4 IS AVAILABLE." I thought version 3.3.3 was immune to the phishing scam. Can someone explain this? This is a new pc with version 3.3.3 downloaded just yesterday.

Lucius,

  I was referring to people/scammers sending me messages to my Bitcoin Forum inbox, telling me they know who the hacker is....Then asking me for money.
  At this point I know the btc is long gone, I learned my lesson, a very expensive lesson at that. Thanks for your suggestions, I appreciate that.

Altcoins enable the people who missed out buying Bitcoin when it was $200 a coin, to dream. Its like purchasing a few lottery tickets.

Lucius,

   I already have scammers sending me messages. Crazy how someone so smart, the Phishing scam operator,  would choose to use their knowledge in such a bad way. I feel for people that have lost what personally to them is considered a substantial amount of money. This phishing scam operator is ruining lives and there's nobody out there to stop him.

Calling all skilled hackers etc, 20 bitcoins to you, identify the attacker who jacked my coins.

Bitmaxz,
The address I was sent to was  https://github.com/electrum-official/EIectrum/releases/tag/3.3.4

 The error came from Electrum, when I tried to transfer to Trezor. The error is the exact error that is shown on the page that warns of the scam.
The Electrum version was 3.2.3. The scam turned my 3.2.3 wallet into the 3.4 scam version.
Now when I try to find my wallet 3.2.3. wallet, its gone, I can't locate any of the transactions at all that were on the hijacked wallet, I checked the other 2 versions I have on my PC and nothing.
When it hijacked my wallet and ripped off the coins, it would show the scam 3.4 wallet and it would show the coins still there and say "processing" on the bottom even though the coins were already gone.  I deleted all the 3.4 versions off my pc, they had a .tar extension.

I really hope my story can prevent some people from losing their money to this scam.. Although I was very busy and doing a few things at once, I should have known better when the error message popped up, I should have known better! $30,000 is $30,000 is $30,000 is plenty of money. I'm more upset that I fell for the scam than I am about losing the money. The bitcoins were from winning Clemson on the moneyline in the National Championship plus the NFC champ game. This is why I'm not greatly upset and crying etc. I learned a lesson the hard way.
 It could have been much worse. It would be great to hear these people who are doing the scam eventually get busted.

  After losing $30,000, buying a new laptop for a few hundred dollars will give me peace of mind.  I learned my lesson the hard way.
When I say discard, yes I am 100% referring to chucking this laptop into the trash, absolutely no question about it. Even if a new install fixed the problem, I consider it a bad luck PC now. Thank you for telling me to do a new install, appreciate the help.

HCP , Thank you for answering the question, that is exactly the information needed. I probably will discard this pc since it was/is still infected. Thanks, I appreciate it.

 Two days ago I lost 8.55194 to the current phishing scam. Is there any way to make sure that it's 100% gone or is that a silly question?  I have a few different versions of Electrum on my PC? 
 While attempting to transfer the coins to Trezor I received the error message and was taken to the fake Github page and idiotically downloaded the scam update. Instantly my coins were transferred to address: 3JY8E6o77H8xWnhtQtAKnUPa2YFE3PA5BH. What a ugly way to start off 2019, by being a careless fool, it hurts to be so so stupid.
