You can even click it, no? You will be scammed only after you put in your details.

Lesson here is, verify the sender, and verify the url. You'd have to be pretty lazy to fall for this.

What the hell is going on? Why is he/ she just pishing-Nemster-accounts? I bet he/she is paid by someone to turn down the value of NEM. Did you see the price fall on coinmarketcap? He/she just tries to sabot NEM!

Actually it's quite easy to mistake t for l in url like this one. They look similar, but if you verify the sender and the url, you'll never be caught out by phishing scams. Alarm bells should ring when you open a link and it asks you to log in when you're already logged in.

He's not saying NEM is a scam. He's saying a scammer is sending NEM holders fake bitcointalk emails to try to hack their bitcointalk accounts.

Hi guys,
unbelievable but it happened to me (BierKoch). Never thought I`m that easy to trick. I created a new account (BierKoch77). Do NOT get involved with the user BierKoch (and do not buy the stake...)!
