I want to warn you , I already opened my account on gmail , I watched a message from poloniex
this is the message :




check the e-mail address .

I have clicked the link and inserted my password , but after I while I checked the e-mail who sends the message and compared it with old message from poloniex , they are different , so I recognized that it is hacking attempt , and fast , logged in my poloneix account using google search ( for more ensurance ) and changed the password . I hope I am safe now because they have the old password .

please be careful because there are a lot of hacking attempts as Bitcoin price is increasing .

The best insurance against this is to never click a link in an email. Always either type in the website url into your browser from scratch, or google it and click from google.

Hello, please be careful when trusting links that are sent through the mail.
To verify it is a real email, please look at the RAW html code of the email and read all the text. Once u see that the host is not the real poloniex mail, then u know it is fake and that u should report it as spam and block that email address. Don't fall for phising sites.
