All direct links to potential malware are blocked - be careful navigating to the site mentioned below as it may contain further malware!!Hey guys, I just received an unsolicited email from "Martin from 4BC" <
bitcoin@4bc.co> which is full of links and contains a zip file with a .exe inside, plus an attached PDF.
4BC's launch thread on this forum shows the founder has a very negative Trust score. His
Trust summary mentions malware and phishing.
His email to me claims he sent the message to me because I'm a member of 4BC, which I am not.
This has all the signs of foul play. He probably got my public email address from this forum.
Here is the email text:
"
Dear users,

and the factors that make for such a nervous economy, I have some
ideas you should seriously consider.
Or maybe everything is perfect. And you are totally happy with
