I received this phishing mail two times and it's written in German.
and I never fall into it..
I banned his mail adress don't want to receive annoying mail a third time..


It's actually not an email. Do a Google search for Blockchain, it's the very first result at the top of the page, and it shows as Blockchain.info. When you click the link, you will see that it is using the old logo, and the address bar shows just an ip address.

Looks like that is a Google's ad.
Well then Google is likely responsible for this scam..

Did a little more investigating today, and found out that I was Phished! That's what I get for spending my Bitcoin after a couple cocktails!!! Today when I Googled Blockchain, I just clicked on the top link, and noticed right away that it wasn't right because the logo had changed, and also the address bar was showing the IP address instead of the https//url. I knew instantly what had happened!! Here's a thread talking about the site:

That really sucks now I understand why people would fall for the trap
Another reason why I remain suspicious of googles sponsored ads they can sometimes lead to viral places

Holy Mary Mother of Jesus, do yourself a favour and just do not ever click ads, no, no, no, no.

The google ad that literally could cost people thousands quite the scary thing to be honest

LouReed, when you log into the read blockchain website do you still see a wallet that sent 2 btc today?  That 2 btc only went into the wallet 7 days ago and you didn't send it so maybe you didn't really lose 2btc.

Actually, you are right, it was Startpage, and I now feel a little better about being dooped, since the same link is still the first item even in Startpage, but it doesn't say add next to it.

Edit: Actually, I see that it does say "Adds by Google" above it.

Nope, they're gone!! My transaction was the one for 2.2 Bitcoin.

A good friend of mine actually said the same thing today. How would one go about holding them accountable? They surely are!
