I just got this email, looks legit, right?

[MultipliedCombo]

The site from which the download is from is a Catholic foundation. Seems legit.

Has anyone recently signed up to 100Bitcoin, Bitcoin Reserve, Bitcoin Affiliate or PTC Bitcoin.

Negative.

I got it too, but while Thunderbird shows the small attachment icon, when I open the email there is no attachment.
I also opened it in my webmail and again - attachment icon present, but no attachment.

I assume the only way to get infected is by opening the attachment, right?
Just loading the email is harmless.

The best way to be around crypto-currencies is not to assume anything. Even opening certain e-mails poses risks, not necassarily to your coins, but other risks, trojans, key-loggers, etc. It doesn't take much, all you have to do is open the wrong email and your address can be turned into a spamtastic hacked account.

[klenker]

so how do we get those 30.2 btc out of that wallet !!!11

[Scamalert]

!!!
Beware people.
This is most likely a scam.
Proceed with extreme caution.
!!!

[Limones]

Thanks for sharing guys, that's worth watching for. Simple and effective, and just enough people would want to look at 30 BTC in a free wallet to make it worthwhile.

[BigMac]

Thanks for the alert.

People, do not trust any emails with strange attachments no matter how "legit" the sender's address looks. Also, do not trust anti-viruses and anti-malware programs - they won't detect 99.99% of the zero-day viruses, malwares and exploits that will really cause damage until that damage is already done. Your best protection is and will always be your COMMON SENSE.

[meliz98]

Most emails like this is a spyware. I also receive this email today.

[Buziss]

True.

[DeboraMeeks]

People should treat any message they receive claiming they won a prize and you haven't even enrolled to it or offering free money (or someone giving his money to you randomly)and if it asks you to download something be double suspicious about it.

[Colaman1]

hH totally

[toxigenicpoem]

nice thanks. glad I don't run any wallets on a windows machine.

[bccdn]

I just got this email too. I guess someone may fall for it someday. There are many other emails that people fall for.

[hyphenated]

...this is unusual, as it both engages greed and a love of puzzles (plus a modicum of technical knowledge).  Lots of people out there with just enough knowledge to be dangerous.

All it needs now is a smattering of altruism and fluffy animals: 

(the kitten orphanage working funds are locked in this wallet  )

[h31nz]

I analyzed this malware and put together a short blog post on what I found. If you're interested, take a look.
