I've received fake emails from cryptsy, mintpal, bitfinex, poloniex and kraken. There is a plague of scammers trying to get people's BTC with missleading emails. My recommendation is to download NoScript and enable whenever you are going to open any email. You never know if they managed to get some script to infect your computer to steal your coins.

Can you explain "NoScript" thing in more detail please.
How can we use it to protect ourselves?

Is this the link from where we need to download it >>>> https://noscript.net

I am quite sure there are people who still fall for these phishing attempts- and this is why the scammer are still using the same tricks again and again.

Also receive in poloniex email and kraken but i dont think if they are real..
Because i heard china people are doing phishing that can not detect by browser i think its called punny code phishing attack.
So beware about those hackers.. check this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wc3rnj5NDg4

I got the same  email too, i was about to create a thread regarding this email and attachment when I see this thread.  Lucky I did not download it since I got suspicious about it.  and it seems I was right that those emails are some kind of phishing attempt.  The email is about BTC-e vouchers and said that I have 3 days to use the code with attachment along with it.
