New Way of Scamming the bitcoin user I received it ???

[btcdevil]

Today i received an email from Blockchain@s8.koddos.com,

the email is saying that:


Payment Received Notification

A Escrow Payment has been received into your bitcoin wallet.
 TX hash and details:
792db5c70b3ed969bc9a8280b8ce8d83dedc59770319f6eca7074419dd8644d1

   39VqQWXEtEURiGxYMhufkFjXTDmbuZo5g3   95.18373457 BTC

                                        This bitcoin balance is held until you pay the fee.
In order to receive this Blockchain Escrow Payment on your Blockchain Wallet you need to pay a 1.00% fee (0.95183734) Bitcoin to: 1H4Mk94nsE84T6UwFtcExnagFpDHHfVpoA
          "If at Maximum 48 hours you don't pay the fee, the funds will send back to Sender."

And when i saw the transaction it was sent the said amount of BTC but when i checked the wallet address their it is transferred to some other wallet address. and i clearly know that this is the new way of scamming the users, that is why i checked the all linked address where the money is sent and after some 4 or 5 transaction it is staying the bitcoins


" SO GUYS BE ALERT OF NOT TO SEND THE SAID ESCROW FEES TO THE WALLET AS IT IS ONLY A SCAMMING WAY TO GET BITCOINS FROM YOU"

So be careful guys with this type of emails. Dont get greedy and lose your hard earned bitcoins

Well it's pretty obvious it's a scam. First thing I do when I receive an email is look at what the domain says, in this case we have @s8.koddos.com which is a really strange looking one.

If you aren't expecting a bitcoin related email, in general I would ignore and it delete it... you never know what's inside. Maybe it's a javascript exploit.

Even looking at the email address i can be sure that this is not from any legal service.

If you have never asked/deal recently than when you receive this types of email out of nowhere that shows clear sign of scam attempt.

I have never seen or got this type of email so find this quite unique way scammers are trying to scam new bitcoin users. Thanks for letting us know...

You rushed your actions, you should not get hot-headed and wait, verify it, then react accordingly.
Its most famous nigerian scam, but converted to world of bitcoin.  Some nigerian prince died and wanted to give you 1 000 000$, u need only pay a legal fee of 5000$ to claim it. If someone fall for that, and there are many people like that, what can i say, they must think before taking action.

I have got phone call before with similar scam attempt where they asked to pay legal fees/custom fees and when asked them to which account than they have given me some personal account details. Which make me doubt about them and i try to search for the mobile number from which i have got call, i came to know that it is fake/virtual number which you can buy and forward your phone through (UK phone number).

@OP better not to subscribe everything you go through and never use your personal email address to register in random sites.

I recieved different emails like this scenario from my other email(which is a disposable email) that they have some rates that's good to be true, which is obviously a scam, but in this post I never received from this this kind of site s8.koddos.com.
Anyways they can only scam those noob persons that will be hook by this common trick.

[Kprawn]

As a rule, I do not reply to anything that promise me money for nothing. I hit the delete button as soon as I see stuff like this. I also never use

my main account to signup for everything. This prevents a lot of spam in your mailbox. I have several Alt accounts for the different things I

experiment with. Those mailboxes are constantly full of nonsense, so it makes it just easier to delete.  This scam is way to obvious... 

[carlfebz2]

If i saw this email then i would really disregard it because seeing the email of the sender really indicates a sure scam for me and where in the world does that amount escrowed came from since you know you didnt make any transactions? and also the amount of bitcoin escrowed is too large and even on 1% fee is too big,im not crazy enough to fall for this crap scam attempt.

[Juggy777]

It was a scam in the face of it. This scam trick is actually nice for them. We all will know this is a scam cause we know how to check it. Now say there a newbie that wakes up with this message he will first pay the fees, when he does not sees the money he will search for answers and he will be deeply sad. Thanks to you, many will be saved. Keep this thread active so more people will be aware. People understand there's no easy way to make btc.

[chesatochi]

The first signal that is a scam, they asking you to pay the fee for the escrow, that is very strange. When someone sends you money for something you have done, the sender will pay the fee accordingly. The best way to handle it, don't click on any link on the email and stay far far away from it. I don't understand how people continue to be trapped by those attempt to get the money of honest people

[calkob]

That email address alone should be ringing bells with anyone who receives it.  Thanks for the heads up man.  with bitcoin having so much hype recently i guess we can expect these sort of things to increase. 

[Woodie]

A problem shared is a problem solved! Thanks for sharing this hope the scammer does not get a single satoshi from any one and I just hope nobody falls for any suspicious looking domains.

[bitbunnny]

Another scam attempts and you have recognized it but I'm sure there will be people who will fall on this without much thinking. Scamers are getting new ideas every day and because of reckless and naive people they get easy money. This is so sad and if this warning helps even to one Bitcoin users it's done something good.

[thepo1m]

Nice of you to notify the public about this scam, it is only greed people that will likely fall victim of something like this

[fikihafana]

beware for phising too. Sometime they got our email from free services like faucet, non reputable cloudmining and hyip, i don't mean all of this stole our email address

[Cereberus]

Looks like the bitcoin world is starting to look just like the FIAT world. I am sure many of you here remember those yahoo emails claiming were from some rich prince of Nigeria or Senegal and that they died but left a fortune. They need you to provide them Name, Address, Phone so they could make a fake credit card with your data.

This time someone with the same intention is here to steal your coins so be safe. No one can get rich overnight (unless he/she wins the lottery).

exactly. but probably there are people who forgot their transaction or just want to try the transaction. so it maybe scam them.

however, it means that we need to be carefull when we receive an email. it can be scam or virus anyway. well thank you for the information.

[Shiroslullaby]

LOL. Nigerian Prince scam has made its way to Bitcoin. Do they also need your photo ID and bank account information?
I doubt anyone will fall for this if they know anything about the way Bitcoin works, but maybe if they send it to enough people, one will fall for their trick.
Making $800 for sending a few thousand emails isn't bad I guess.

[deadsilent]

Its pretty obvious that its a scam. Look at the fee. Thats almost a 1 btc. Thats too huge for a fee. But thanks anyway for your concern. Its a new tatics of scammers since they cant fool other people anymore. They are really creative. This is a warning for all of us. Dont be greedy. Stay safe.

[xuan87]

It is really good that you share the story, I ever almost being scammed but not with bitcoin but with payeer, the email sound almost the same, it said that somebody had deposit money to your account, please log in to your account, and inside the email there is a link that "said" connect to my payeer account, imagine if somebody enter the link and input the password and the ID, then all of your money will be gone
