Yeah I got a PM too, looked suspicious though.
No indication what the number was...
Why not redeem the codes yourself (Anyroll) and send the Bitcoin's straight to the address of the winner? (this is what Bitcoin is about, ease of moving money, no need to login to a trading site)
Stupidly, I clicked the link but my username was not already in the field, chrome puts it there for me. Then I looked at the URL and saw why. Thanks chrome. I can't even remember my password anyway. Haha
Oh well, too good to be true! Statistically you could play a unique number once per day for a year and still have a more chance of losing than winning...

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

Can't emphasize how disgusting this is. I'm relatively new and I've received a few phishing links as well via PM. Bitcoins are getting big though and as much as we'd want to think that the quality of the community would remain high, the more people that adopt bitcoins the lower this will fall until it averages out.
Anyways... If it sounds too good to be true..

I hope you guys at least clicked that "Report to admin" link on the bottom right corner of the message.
I requested a ban for him, it would help if you guys reported the PM's.
I got it too. Just reported the PM to theymos. This guy needs a scammer tag and a ban NOW! Also, can admins do anything to disable the links in these PMs? It'd be awful for this scam to actually work... |
Bitcoin is the first monetary system to credibly offer perfect information to all economic participants.

I got the same private message too. I did not believe I had won because I had the same number as someone else so I kind of figured something was up. Also, I figured he could just use the wallet address I had posted if I really had won. I have learned to be very wary of any emails and not to open them. My husband is really adamant about that after having to clean up a few viruses. I try to be extra cautious now.

Good job, I have contacted 000webhost, the site where the phishing website was hosted and requested it be take down. The hacker nearly gained control of my email, luckily I had phone verification which is what tipped me off I was being hacked. It ringed with a verification code to reset password.. Im sorry any of those who were affected by this hopefully no one fell for it. You will need to proof that your account was hacked. (Maybe some admin can check your IP address and the hacker one). |

Why don't you PM everyone back and tell them not to click the link? |

Your kidding right? What do you not understand about I Was HACKED. Right now im trying to put things back together.. The hacker hacked a secondary email of mine and changed the password. I've been on the phone with my email provider for 20 minutes.
I know right? I mean, if you said it, it must be true, as people never lie on the internet  |

While you were posting on the forum you were hacked you were still sending out fake links. Explain. |

Guys, I'm new to btc-e.com so I'm seeking for advice here. I did click the link but I didn't enter any information since I had another tab opened which was logged into btc-e.com. This was how I knew that the link points to a phishing site.
Anyway, I checked my mailbox & saw a "successful authorization" from btc-e.com. Is this email something to be expected if you're logged into from another device?

Probably not change your password just in case Assumes you need to user activate it yourself Since I just made a btc-e account when I thought this was legit was expecting a mail but should leave it to another user to know best Just writing quickly in case anyroll just did that just now and you need to be fast to change your pass before some bit is sent |
