Not sure where else to post this.  E-mail got through my gmail spam filter, and appeared to be from info@mtgox.com.  Could tell it wasn't legit b/c when clicked on mtgox.com link, got sent instead to: http://www.mtgvx.tk/users/blocked.  But I did think it was real for a minute because I did post some criticism of Tux here earlier in the day.

Aye, which is why we never use the links in emails if its account related...

You wanna know whats funny to do to those guys. Grab your favorite brutn' software and the LARGEST dict file you can create and fill that DB of their's to the brim with bogus login details. ;p

If you're not excited by the idea of being an early adopter 'now', then you should come back in three or four years and either tell us "Told you it'd never work!" or join what should, by then, be a much more stable and easier-to-use system.

HAH! Good Idea!  And you could use the official leaked mtgox user list to get the usernames so they think it is for reals.
