Congratulations

You have earning 0.1 BTC/ days. Be sure to keep this safe and stored separately from your wallet.

Top Tip
Backup your bitcoin wallet using dropbox. It's free, easy to use and secure.


Email address looks legit, but it is obvious scam!
Remember that Bitcoin is still beta software. Don't put all of your money into BTC!

I think it is easy to fake the "From :" part in emails, but the original address should appear somewhere in the next line or so?

My browser blocked it, but for sure it is some malware.
