I received an email with a message ;
"Hard fork...
MyEtherWallet code will be forked to create MyCrypto Service!
Hard fork is comming soon. As we roll this out, please be aware that we will not be able to recover funds sent to incorrect wallets / addresses.  We are excited to let you know that your new wallet address has been generated. We advise that your future transfers are sent to your upgraded wallet address."
There is an ether wallet adress and a private key at the bottom of the mail message

I am not sure what is that ? This seems very weird to me. Could be a phishing attempt maybe ?

MEW team had some problems so some of them decided to leave and make another project: MyCrypto, thats their twitter https://twitter.com/mycrypto that previously was MEW twitter as I remember.
MEW is still working fine but the part of their team is now working on the new wallet. But anyway this e-mail is a bit strange because you never leave your e-mail while creating a MEW wallet.
They had a conflict inside the tram, there is some more details from the offical sources:

Wow thats a new thing an exchange fork?seems to be more shady because the mew team has some factions right now because some employee of mew has changed the official mew twitter into mycrypto.com which is the new exchange of those people who split from the mew's team.Lets have some confirmation team from the myetherwallet.com team so we could be sure that this is official and not a scam.

I guess it's just a phishing attempt. Is there any link at this mail? Take a look at the URL of that link. It would probably be something like mycryplo.com or some another piece of shit.
