I got this PM from a newbie, ElectrumwalletTeamAssist, and it causes me to suspect he's trying to pose as a representative of the official Electrum team.  He's not.  The subject shares similarity with the title of a thread pinned in the Electrum board, and the username itself is an obvious attempt to mislead those who may not know any better.  The official representatives of Electrum on the forum are ThomasV and ghost43.

Subject: How to Safely Download and Verify Electrum [Guide]

Hello there! We apologize for any inconvenience caused, kindly let us know if you still need any help?



I have reported the PM to admin.

Suspect? Be sure in your tag cause he's not suspect but deffo an imposter rep. Looks like they took your topic to be a question, and hence offered the, 'support'.

Obvious imposter!
And indeed a bad one. What kind of scammer still does this in this present day and age, especially via Bitcoin forum  Grin

I am tagging and flagging them using this thread as reference. Thanks, DireWolfM14.

We have seen numerous attempts like this in the past years, especially when we are in a disoriented state like this.  Every petty thief wants to take advantage of the recent hacks and we all need to be careful. You wouldn't fall for something like this, neither would I but I get it, that's exactly the point of making this post and leaving a tag on that moron.

Hundreds, millions of people's money have been stolen allegedly and the exchange/ casino involved have only given a feedback that assures the protection of the leftover. Years of hard work has been lost. The scars are still fresh and then another shows up with this. I wonder how many people they have reached out to already.

I have reported the PM to admin.
I received a very similar PM, but from a different account. Is this some new scam method?
User: OfficialSupportTeambitcoi
I cannot remember that I have ever participated in a similar discussion as the subject of this PM
