Just received a new scam message via email. It has been sent by
noreply@ethernetwork.com and in general contains a notification to let`s
upgrade the ETH Wallet to support new SMS featureIT`S PURE SCAM (fishing) and is sending You to a fishy MEW-looking page, where they will collect Your privkey!Note, that MEW has no any details about your/someone`s mail address and could not send You any kind of email notifications. As well they never recommend to be used privkey instaed of other more safe access ways..
Do NOT even follow the scam link as
the webpage may have integrated even other methods to access Your hardware and get Your data! In case Your antivirus miss that, You can be infected!
Thanks for the warning. Remember that Myetherwallet does not have any sort of email integration. So they will never send you emails or sms notifications saying that you need to upgrade your myetherwallet account details or whatever, because they simply do not collect your email info.
And it doesn't only go for Myetherwallet, phishing scams are common with any crypto wallet. Blockchain.info has seen its fair share of phishing emails as well.
In general, just use your common sense. Hover over the link that you're clicking and verify it first, and search up whether there is actually an official versions of the announcement of whatever the email tells you.
