BTC-E scam / phishing email

[Justin00]

i'm sure it will get a few people.... and if it hasnt been discussed before their seems to be some btc-e phising email going round. Figured I would mention it as I have never recieved a phising email regarding btc-e or anything bitcoiny in 2+ years

The email tells you to set a withdraw password by march 1st or lose funds (or something like that, didnt read it properly).
the link says btc-e.com/woteva but when you put the mouse over it so you can see its really going to btc-e.co.in or some .in addy.

bit obvious when the admins of the site have never once used as much english as there is in the email, nor has their english ever been that good.

but ya, take care ppls.. and dont click on anything.

I'm abit concerned how they got my email addy to be honest.... but perhaps/hopefully they got the list of users from the forum here in the recent hacks and emailed everyone ??

[Justin00]

oh ya the email is from like btc-e@live.com or something stupid like that @ live.com

least forge the 'mail from'... and by forge i mean.. enter it into the mail client..... talk about lazy.

Got this one.
My question is where the heck have all these phishing / spam Bitcoin related emails come ffrom?  I've received 10x more in the last 2 weeks then I had in 2 years prior.
