Total scam man, wow I wonder how many people will fall for this.
Open that zip and get your coins stolen simple as that. Common sense people!
The whole reason social engineering hackers continue to exist. Until we see the day where intelligence is equal for all peoples, social engineers will continue to manipulate the poorly educated. In this case, the hacker uses social engineering to convince individuals to open old-school malware. That's why i said to open it in a safe place and not in a random place.
If he/she had simply checked virustotal perhaps he/she would've been saved. |

I opened the file that you just posted. My computer started making a lot of noise from the hard drive but I couldn't see anything happening on screen. Now all of a sudden my wallet is gone and so are my 23 bitcoins.
Can somebody please help me with this? Is this some kind of joke? I'm really worried!
lmoa this better be a joke, if it's not you dont deserve to even hold 23 btc. |

Open the wallet in a virtual machine + a sandbox in that VM (can't be too safe) while running a vpn, check to see if it really has ~51 BTC. If it does take out a 15% fee for the transfer and send him 85% of the funds on the wallet. Nothing to lose, he gets ~43.35 BTC and you get ~7.65 BTC for conducting the transfer. Win-win and your morals don't feel destroyed.

There is no chance someone would send his real wallet to some random guy via mail. I bet the file is empty. |

OP I would delete the link to that file.
This marketplace is saturated with noobs and you are going to do more harm than good. It's obvious that it is a total scam. Let's just move on here...

Again: this cannot be true or you just won the Darwin award hands out. Wasn't your wallet encrypted? If you want us to believe you are not simply trolling post the transaction id. |

Avast is inferior for virus detection. If you have/rely on Avast you will receive viruses/malware. |

This is not some pseudoeconomic post-modern Libertarian cult, it's an un-led, crowd-sourced mega startup organized around mutual self-interest where problems, whether of the theoretical or purely practical variety, are treated as temporary and, ultimately, solvable.
Censorship of e-gold was easy. Censorship of Bitcoin will be… entertaining.
