got email from localbitcoin for investing, beware (needs opinion)

[lumeire]

Much better if you show us the details of the email you receive if it's really from localbitcoins.com

There are so many scammers right now using the name of big company or services to trick people simply to scam, they are using the same site's name but differs from its domain extension. This is obviously a scam attempt, beware!.

The sender of email was from this address localbitcoins-no-reply@localbitcoins.co without m
i am sure it is trying scam and the real website localbitcoins.com and the sender of email use (@localbitcoins.co) without m

Got this email too in one of my email accounts, and it went straight to the spam folder. Not sure how they got my email though. It's an obvious phishing attempt.

If they care about their customers they're gonna warn them - and I'm sure they do.

they assume their customers are not stupid and that they do not have to hold their hands over the stupidest things, i am sure that they do not warn their customers to not hand out their credit card information to anyone and everyone.  this is the reason that people need to be intelligence tested before being allowed to do business

No need for a discussion here. It is obviously a scam. Do not trust people who seem untrustworthy. They may even have high trust ratings and great previous Works but that doesn’t make them trust worthy in bitcoin World. There was zenhash in this World where everyone put so much money into and defended them to the core and thought they were the saviors of bitcoin and so on, they happened to be scammers. Just because most people believe in a website or a person (look at mt.gox) doesn’t mean they are trustworthy, you need use your gut feeling about these things.

Totally a scam attempt, no reputable company would say send here for investing or something along those lines. If they really needed some sort of investments, they'd probably be going and asking for it on the LBC site itself.

If they did that and sent that type of email, it would make it look less scammer-ish. Though, I wouldn't send a dime to that address.

Its easy to get someones email specially when you do use phishing or any web site do have email subscriptions or something like that because those sites are just getting up your email and if you are careless enough they would really get your email and be part on their target email list to send those scam attempt.

this email has been circulating for at least 3 weeks now
they just change the company:localbitcoins,blockchain.info etc.
and needless to say that you mark them as spam and don't open,there can be malware inside
this what happens when you join "cloudminings" or HYIPs of dubious reputation,they will sell your email address to spammers and steal your coins,too

This is a scam. Instead of asking us please post the email address and all the other meta data that came with this email. Dont pretend to be wondering about it. You know at first look that this is a scam.

But thanks for posting it here. It spreads the news. The next step is to inform localbitcoins.com.
