Watch out guys, some Russians are sending fake links to a new Multibit wallet.

First of all Multibit is .org not .com, then always watch the headers details of suspicious emails. As you can see was sent from a RU servers and nothing related with Multibit. Then a wallet company never will send you the link directly to a download. So checking multibit.com goes to a fake page.
Always make updates from the original page NOT EMAIL FROM LINKS!

Wow... some unsuspecting person might fall into the trap. Heads up for that alert. Don't be surprised, there are still people who would get conned even though it is a clear phishing attempt.

Thanks for the heads up and for posting this in the 'main' board. It's useful as many of multibit users (including myself) don't check 'multibit' board too often.
