Because he is not used to the forum format of image posting. Here is the image in correct format...

Probably someone must have registered with your email just for trying it out.
Would be sick, if you log in, and have BTC in the account.

No - the link is fake (see the pop up overlay), it would take me to a fake site, where i would be asked to enter my login details to check my account, then my account would get cleaned out.

dammit man - have you never orchestrated an organised cyber-fraud scheme?

Its best not to open or move around the mail. Just delete it , if it wasn't you who created the account,.
Its the safest thing to do, and not claim the Billion Dollar Prize

phising is the most common practice to steal from others now in days, better keep that f2a on at all times.

It probably got your email address from some other bitcoin related website and is hoping that you will fall for the scam and actually have a LBC account with bitcoin in it. They likely plan on using the information you input into their fake site to access your LBC account and then withdraw any funds you have on deposit with them

Just got another one Angry

Sadly localbitcoins seems to be fading fast

have you signed up to any shady website in the pass month with that email address?

How is it that they are able to use "no-reply@localbitcoins.com" to send these emails? Huh

That's just bad Sad

. Anyone can pretend to be anyone this way. I see now why these phishing attempts are successful, user just sees the 'from' address and thinks that it is real.

How it's fake if the link used on that email is localbitcoins.com , or it has another link inside it ?
I'am not really sure why you guys get Phishing attempts emails all the time , I've never got any from BTC exchanges website or mining or bitcoin talk or whatever , be careful where you post your email.

If you notice the first screenshot carefully, you would notice that the clickable link directs to another site, not localbitcoins.com

Remember to report it. Google: report phishing
