NEM scammer on attack. Protect your NEM!

[jabo38]

A scammer is sending NEMbers fake emails trying to fish them.  

They look like this.

Hi dear,  Very important news about NEM Open Alpha.

Don't click.  The scammers name is instanem and many other names are being used.

If an important message comes to you, please double check the main thread.

they can't get anything from you unless you click the link.

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.

Actually it's quite easy to mistake t for l in url like this one.

Also got the message, reported it..

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!

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.

Can a mod ban certain links from showing?

Important Info:

There seem to be a lot of scam and phishing attempts at the moment. Please don't open any links sent through PM by unknown bitcointalk users. Official info and updates about NEM will be posted on the following thread by the dev team or trusted members of the community: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=654845.0

Be very careful and take good care of your username and password. You don't want to lose them right before the launch.

Thanks.

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.

Yes, to be clear. I really like NEM. This thread is to help people not get their NEM stolen.

[jabo38]

Some people have fallen for the phishing scam and lost their BTT accounts.  Please be careful!

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...)!
