Another Phishing Attack through Emails - Blockchain.info (BEWARE)

[ryap12]

Hello everyone,

I would like to inform you guys that there is another phishing attack taking advantage of the blockchain.info XLM giveaway.
I hate to see someone loses their money so I want to warn you.

Below is the screenshot of the email I received.


And on that email it contains a form to claim XLM.
Here is a link to the form in case you want to see: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeK1WtoWzbA9F1JJmHGNAJV4h8sjjtcNQh_SxtqmhbIX1CU1w/viewform
I have reported the form twice but Google Support seem to not care.
And on that form it also contain a link to a fake blockchain.info when you click JOIN WHITELIST inside this link: http://www.get-stellar.site/
It somehow led me to enter my blockchain.info login credentials.
Hope I get to warn you guys.

See image for the Fake blockchain.info:
They look very the same.

Another cheap attempt to steal money from unknowing people. Good thing you reported it so others may also know. I personally do not open any email from addresses I do not recognize or those that I did not participate/subscribe.

I got scam email too, but its redirect me to stellar giveaway and you must need to put 12 seeds, since blockchain doing stellar giveaway, this time they probably got a lot people to scam. I forget the email since i already deleted it yesterday.

When you receive email from ANYONE that you didn't email first and they want to give you free stuff, DELETE.

Don't led greed win. If greed wins, you lose.


That's pretty much it.

We could go deeper, but why bother, right?

I think that most people will not think about who sent them this letter and will open it, and people hungry for profit will open it.

Everytime I get emails like this, I immediately report as phishing to protonmail. I would be surprised if some people are still falling for this kind of scams.

[shirackjs]

Thanks for the warning, I hope nobody fell for this cheap scam. Always be careful when receiving such emails to avoid losing your precious coins.

[Kang Bahar]

Damn! The irresponsibility people try to steal our money

Thank you very much because you have been willing to make this thread to remind us all.

Yep. How sad it would be if someone entered the fake XLM airdrop like this.

This idiot scammer will always stuck on that phase, they are never learning about it. Not only from blockchain but whole of scammers are creating phishing attemp used the name almost of all icos. I have received more than tens emails about phishing from scammer in a day lol

I don't think you have to keep preaching this to people because they should have known that already and if we see someone looking for a cheap way to make things happen let him fall victim, nothing really bad will happen only for him to learn some lessons.

[yescrypto]

I believe they never stopped sending those spam emails any one who has don several airdrops and bounty campaigns will surely receive that on a daily basis we are the ones who need to be more careful these days about those mails we received never be too move no matter how impressive the content of the mail is, check if the link address is secure and don't enter your private information like password or pk to anyone claiming to reward you with it.

That is a lot of phishing emails you're getting. I only get them like 3-4 every week. I dont know where they got my email too but I guess our emails are no longer private due to bounties and airdrops.

Everyone getting similar emails every time. Then don't enter your private keys, KYC documents details or any details to unknown websites. Please check out websites links twice.

[Callanta787]

There is no way I will ever enter my private key for anything else ,I'm the type who doesn't claim hardforks because it requires private key ,I don't take such risks ,people have to be very careful and stay away from spam mail as well ,its always full of phishing

[icalical]

I hope no one got caught by that fake phishing scam, however I think when you want to login to your wallet from new device or new IP, you will need to confirm via email, so as long as you don't submit your email's password, it will still be fine.

[Little Mouse]

Haven't you posted it wrong section/board? I think you should post it on Reputation, a sub board of Economy. Pleade move the thread. Anyway, those are available occuring daily. Be sure to check who is the email sender and his email address. No sites will send you email from unauthorized address.

[ccsang]

Actually I don't believe any link from email and I believe most of them just a phishing link, if the email "look like" important, I'll copy the link and open in vmware, double verify the link will redirect to which url, remember to check the sender’s email address and ask for help in official community group to verify it's fake or true.

[Yudhisthir]

1.) Blockchain.info, MyEtherWallet, MyCrypto, [...] will never send you any E-Mail as they shouldn't even be in possession of it (You never had to enter it except you subscribed to any newsletter)
2.) Always validate the Sender-E-Mail (header) - in this case it's not even a spoofed mail but rather a @yahoo-address.
3.) DO NOT open any links from unknown senders - fortunately the chance is very low but it's still possible getting infected without downloading and running a file (0day-exploits, exploit-kits)

And do verify the proper url of the site you are entering your login credential into. Also look for a valid SSL certificate.
Only enter your password or private key if you intend to make a transaction. For checking balance, the wallet address is enough for most address you bear the private key of.

I received three invitations just last week but after landing on the site, I just knew it's a phishing site, it's so obvious because the domain is very much different from the actual site, if you are a newbie here you will likely fall for this.

[adrianto1995]

Hahaha, I got emailed too by this f*cking scammers. I trolling them by filling out their form with pornhub email support and then I give them a new empty XLM wallet address...

Can't imagine how they reaction when received and reading my form reply... 
Be careful guys, don't be fooled by them. They just want to steal your money...
