I got an email this morning, asking me to log in with my seed to my ether wallet. Allegedly, if I didn´t, I would be using the old Ether Blockchain and that´s horrible and blah, blah..

Just spreading the word of caution.

This kind of phishing scams are very common these days. They just find a leaked mailing list and mass email everyone. As I always preach, double check the URL and check for an SSL certificate on top. Fishy links never have SSL and just by giving it a look you will be able to figure it out.

Specially that those hackers are really targeting unsuspecting cryptocurrency holders. Its like everyday I see a lot of email trying to phish someone. Yeah, almost check for misspelled or much better to bookmark myetherwallet to be sure that you are logging in to the trusted website.

Somehow I got on someone's list and I receive stuff like this daily. After reading some security threads I never click on email links. If I think something is worth looking into I start at the original website and try to do whatever needs to be done then.

LOL. Too bad for you mate. Its really on our own safety not to click anything we see on the website. Or much better if you can have a single desktop or pc dedicated for all your crypto activity only. Thanks for the warning by the way, OP.

I got an email this morning, asking me to log in with my seed to my ether wallet. Allegedly, if I didn´t, I would be using the old Ether Blockchain and that´s horrible and blah, blah..

Just spreading the word of caution.
This is getting pretty huge these days and hackers are really trying to target ethereum users account with that strategy.

It is very important to always pay attention to these mails most especially taking a closer look at the source of the email.
Someone shared on this forum few days back how they changed myetherwallet to myehterwallet ... just the T and H which someone who is careless could just easily fall for. I guess everyone just need to be careful. Thanks OP for the caution.

I am not sure how people can lose funds like this. Myetherwallet will never ask you for email it means that they can't send you email because they don't know your email.

Why do you click links in email without checking them?

And of course, even better to just open a new tab and go directly to the website in question, and login there.
