I got an email today claiming to be coming from bitstamp.
It is rather fishy as it arrived at an email adress I never ever used for anything bitcoin related.

Maybe some of you got that same thing or are about to get it.

It is like the wild west in the movies, like russia in the 90ies.
It´s you, revolutionaries, scamers, gangsters, genuises, greedy soon-to-be loosers, billionares, and  big business at a global private party. It is bitcoin. http://nakamotoinstitute.org/mempool/dont-panic/

Forwarded to abuse. There was some other emails from codero net focused to mtgox users too so I think they got emails from this forum DB leak.

This kind of black humor may be assumed as part of total pressure to bitcoin community increased last days.

well apart from spelling hick-ups it contains ("replay"), it also arrived at an email adress of mine which is absolutely never used for anything bitcoin.
I just do wonder how this adress got targeted. They must have a database with peoples real names in it (the email adress is firstname.lastname@...).
