I received an email an hour ago stating this:



Notice the hidden link behind "Start the verification process here."
Also notice the grammatical errors.
Beware of these kind of emails as this email went through Gmail's spam filter and reached directly to my inbox.

Also they are trying to trick users by using this domain for sending emails:



If you have received these kind of emails, kindly report them as phishing attack for Gmail's spam bot recognition.

I just received the same message on my email address, the link was not from blockchain. I'm not sure where did they get my email address. The sender email can be easily manipulated but the link they sent is hashocean-refunds which is phishing/scam link.

This link with ponzi with referral, it has user name in referral, maybe someone can do something about it.

I received the same email like yours as well. But I don't think its coming from Blockchain.Lnfo because there can be no TLDs with "Lnfo". I think the sender is somehow tricking the sending emails. Blockchain staffs need to be more concerned about the user's security.

Wait, this phishing email is linked to Hashocean scam as well? It seems that Hashocean is some hardcore group of bitcoin scammers.
First they conducted Cloud Mining scam for a long time just to gain huge user base and stole more money and not they want to steal BTC from ours online wallets?

Never click suspicious links in email or with a high probability your bitcoins will be gone out of your wallet if you are using an online one. Remember here a few months ago a person clicked a doc document via his Mac and lost quite a lot of bitcoins and litecoins. Play safe and never click any suspicious links, nowadays more and more hackers are turning to the oldest trick to the phishing emails or links.
