Of interest from the email headers: Return-Path: <fewfewef@xm33.hostsila.org> Received: from xm33.hostsila.org (xm33.hostsila.org [194.28.87.253]) ... Received: from fewfewef by xm33.hostsila.org with local (Exim 4.69) (envelope-from <fewfewef@xm33.hostsila.org>)
I sent off a quick message to the .TK abuse email letting them know about the issue.

Well, I tried that link just now and it redirects to a Romanian blog site on a .ro domain. hxxp://www.niuzer.ro/Botosani/IMPRESIONANT-Testamentul-Reginiei-Maria-a-Romaniei-2637509.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

I got a copy, too. If you use gmail, use the 'Report phishing' function (in the Reply drop-down menu).

How often do you get the chance to work on a potentially world-changing project?

Is there any indication that this is a widespread campaign among more than one Mt. Gox user, perhaps using the database leak data from the breach a while back, or are you the only recipient as far as you know? I'm just wondering if this is more targeted spear-phishing or if they're casting a wider net...

could tell MagicalTux or someone over there about what fake info you reply with, (just put in legit looking info) then could use that to possibly identify them or at least block the addresses.

I think it's just difficult for PhishTank users unfamiliar with Bitcoin to decide whether this is a real site or a phish.

I received a response from the hosting company from which the email originated stating that the account has been closed. Unfortunately, the phishing site itself seems to be hosted elsewhere (fwef33.tmweb.ru.)

Am I the only person that got redirected to a Romanian blog? What's the problem if the link no longer goes to the phishing site?
