I just received this email from what Gmail tells me is "theymos@bitcointalk.org via wedos.net"
This is a fraud.
Don't fall for email like that.

Hi Jan,

My name is theymos (administrator of Bitcointalk.org),

I wrote this application for a contribution to improve the forum because I believe that there are people who are interested in this forum and who are interested in the Bitcoin community.

As you well know, our servers are sometimes very slow. As a result we were forced to implement (time) protection of the registration, login, posts, search, and more.
Also lots of other stuff does not work as we would have liked, so we all like to eliminate these shortcomings.
To do this, we do not have enough funds (as you know, a forum is completely free), and therefore we ask for a contribution.

For this cotribution we set up a new address, and we'll watch the addresses from which contributions go.

CONTRIBUTOR BENEFITS
- 0.1+ BTC = Donors crown before nick (everywhere your username is shown)
- 1+ BTC = Add a trusted mark from theymos ( a dmin)
- 5+ BTC = Write your nick to the footer of forum

Each contributor is considered to be honorary member of a forum. Those user gains respect from others and will be an important figure in participation in the growth of this forum.

After submitting your contribution, please write a private message to theymos, stating the address from which you sent the payment.
Then we can apply the benefits of your user.

BTC address for donation: 1JTDTfgEixS41vqwKAu9rMHZRhujowTJ6a

Thank you on behalf of the whole community of Bitcointalk.org!

Sincerely,

theymos

Mycelium let's you hold your private keys private.
