Reference Link: n/a it was sent via PM, however the PM id is msg2854628
Amount Scammed: none
Payment Method: n/a
Proof of Payment: n/a
PM/Chat Logs: The below contains a phishing link, DO NOT ENTER YOUR CREDENTIALS AFTER CLICKING THE BELOW LINK AND CLICK ON THE LINK AT YOUR OWN RISK
Hi bro! I have bad news for you! You can see about in there http://bilcointalk.org/index.php?topic=654845.msg7515541#msg751554
Additional Notes: The PM was reported to the mods, however I think the community should be aware of this and to avoid the possibility of having your account stolen. Note that the "l" is in place of the "t" in "bitcon" in the above domain.

I got the same PM and the same message.

Out of curiosity was it from the same user? or was someone making a lot of accounts to send the same message?

Another excellent reason to use a password manager such as Lastpass.  I would know something as wrong as soon as my username/password was not filled in automatically.

Ah, so maybe they are targeting people who use email to get notifications of PMs received. They would be less suspicious when they are being asked to login if they are not already logged in and posting/getting PMs.

I am paranoid about those kinds of programs as I am afraid that someone could find a weakness in the program and steal all my passwords.
