You actually did well by informing folks who are likely going to fall victim of the scam.
Whenever you receive any mail containing a link, if you are not too sure of the sources, it is advisable you do not click, because you never can tell, it might be a phishing site.
Some people who have been scammed in the past, were scammed through phishing links sent to their emails.
So you need to be careful, if you so much value your assets.

Usually, I don't open such letters from unknown people. And of course don't click on their links. Hackers always want to get your passwords from exchanges and your private keys from wallets. Be careful

These is very right and it is also one reason why I never click any link from my emails
They are unsafe insecure and phishing

For any updates or password reset, you can simply go back to your bookmarked link

I also got an e-mail like that and I was lined up to fill out the form, but fortunately I did not have a balance there, now I have changed the password. It's a pity that there are people who do this.

It is good that you warn us about fraudsters. But to be honest, new messages from scammers come to my mail every day and I just don’t pay attention to it.

Everytime I get emails like this, I immediately report as phishing to protonmail. I would be surprised if some people are still falling for this kind of scams.

Unfortunately many do, some get blinded by greed 'free money' and some newbies get scammed being not aware.

I received three invitations just last week but after landing on the site, I just knew it's a phishing site, it's so obvious because the domain is very much different from the actual site, if you are a newbie here you will likely fall for this.

1.) Blockchain.info, MyEtherWallet, MyCrypto, [...] will never send you any E-Mail as they shouldn't even be in possession of it (You never had to enter it except you subscribed to any newsletter)
2.) Always validate the Sender-E-Mail (header) - in this case it's not even a spoofed mail but rather a @yahoo-address.
3.) DO NOT open any links from unknown senders - fortunately the chance is very low but it's still possible getting infected without downloading and running a file (0day-exploits, exploit-kits)


And do verify the proper url of the site you are entering your login credential into. Also look for a valid SSL certificate.
Only enter your password or private key if you intend to make a transaction. For checking balance, the wallet address is enough for most address you bear the private key of.

Actually I don't believe any link from email and I believe most of them just a phishing link, if the email "look like" important, I'll copy the link and open in vmware, double verify the link will redirect to which url, remember to check the sender’s email address and ask for help in official community group to verify it's fake or true.

Haven't you posted it wrong section/board? I think you should post it on Reputation, a sub board of Economy. Pleade move the thread. Anyway, those are available occuring daily. Be sure to check who is the email sender and his email address. No sites will send you email from unauthorized address.

I hope no one got caught by that fake phishing scam, however I think when you want to login to your wallet from new device or new IP, you will need to confirm via email, so as long as you don't submit your email's password, it will still be fine.

Everyone getting similar emails every time. Then don't enter your private keys, KYC documents details or any details to unknown websites. Please check out websites links twice.

Hello everyone,

I would like to inform you guys that there is another phishing attack taking advantage of the blockchain.info XLM giveaway.
I hate to see someone loses their money so I want to warn you.

Below is the screenshot of the email I received.


And on that email it contains a form to claim XLM.
Here is a link to the form in case you want to see: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeK1WtoWzbA9F1JJmHGNAJV4h8sjjtcNQh_SxtqmhbIX1CU1w/viewform
I have reported the form twice but Google Support seem to not care.
And on that form it also contain a link to a fake blockchain.info when you click JOIN WHITELIST inside this link: http://www.get-stellar.site/
It somehow led me to enter my blockchain.info login credentials.
Hope I get to warn you guys.

See image for the Fake blockchain.info:
They look very the same.

This idiot scammer will always stuck on that phase, they are never learning about it. Not only from blockchain but whole of scammers are creating phishing attemp used the name almost of all icos. I have received more than tens emails about phishing from scammer in a day lol

That is a lot of phishing emails you're getting. I only get them like 3-4 every week. I dont know where they got my email too but I guess our emails are no longer private due to bounties and airdrops.

I believe they never stopped sending those spam emails any one who has don several airdrops and bounty campaigns will surely receive that on a daily basis we are the ones who need to be more careful these days about those mails we received never be too move no matter how impressive the content of the mail is, check if the link address is secure and don't enter your private information like password or pk to anyone claiming to reward you with it.

I don't think you have to keep preaching this to people because they should have known that already and if we see someone looking for a cheap way to make things happen let him fall victim, nothing really bad will happen only for him to learn some lessons.
