[trysetya11]

My email was hitted by some mail, that named is myetherwallet with title "ETH HARDFORK" and when i click the button on the message its redirected to some phising/scam like myetherwallet site's.

The question, where they(the scammers) know my email? because i never linked my myetherwallet account to my email account.

No,it doesnt work that way.Your email might have been exposed where you might able to register or input it into other services/websites.
When theres a leakage or those email list had been solved out and been bought then scammers or hackers do mass sending with those phishing emails
just hoping for someone to be hooked up.

i think there is another way to easily knowing the phishing website by installing metamask.
With metamask every phishing website that you visit it will warn you like below

I was remember , few months ago.. So many people who got scammed by Myetherwallet scam or phising sites. They didn't careful to type myetherwallet site (maybe).. And so much Ethereum and tokens/coins on hacker wallet. After they got that , they just move it directly to exchanges.
And then.. Myetherwallet official team tweeted on their account to change DNS , Server , Appearance or something I dont know which hopefully all can easily access "the real one" myetherwallet site.
Maybe next time.. you must bookmark "the real one" myetherwallet site because until now , phising sites still exist. And thanks for this thread explain about myetherwallet phising sites

MyEtherWallet wallet is mostly being attacked by many users with creating fake added link with it.
When there is huge amount in any wallet and that user incorrectly accessed the fake site means they may face heavy loss. Only thing users has to realize the problems and be careful while accessing any sites.
