It's actually the first time this happens to me, but I just received an email, stating that “17.099848400 have been credited to your account” (it doesn't even mention the currency, but I assume it's Bitcoin due to the link shown).

I got it also. Wonder where the email dump came from. Everyone needs to report the email to Google for being malicious and they'll block it.

I wonder why so many such emails are coming in daily. I mean, this could very well happen with Fiat as well.
So why only with bitcoin ..

It does happen with fiat, but your email spam filters are too good and you don't get to see them anymore.

I've just checked my spam and I haven't received anything like that. We shall look for common things between those who have received it.

I used to be a citizen and a taxpayer. Those days are long gone.

Its Normal My spam folder is filled with these type of emails. I dont give them a f*. Because once i got scammed by this type of email. Once i received email pretending from PM that your information has been changed please for checking it click on this link. And when i clicked the link, How big fool am i, I didnt even check the link....And when i entered my password and username they taken it and withdraw my all money in PM.

So please dont open these type of email they are all scam.

Thanks

Yeah, these emails plague a lot of folks inbox. The ones who are less-knowledgable about phishing attempts and their tactics are the ones who really need to be careful.

I'am really wondering to be honest .. how do you guys get those Phishing attempts emails , you should ask this question to your selfs guys and share the last websites where you posted your email or registered or whatever . Because this phising attempt seem to be targeting BTC users only .
I personally never got anything on my email , only attempt to hack me was on Bitcointalk via private message which I posted it on the Meta section and a lot of people had that .

I'm at the same page where you're at. Why would these emails target btc users? Or maybe there are also other non-btc users out there that has received the same message but we here at btt first discussed this matter.

Well whatever happens, don't click on that link. Just to be careful and sure.
