Topic: Anyone else get this email from bitcoin.org (Read 702 times)

That is the most retarded scam attempt i've ever seen... 
They could have at least changed the 500% to something more reasonable.

btw, that address is empty lol

Lol its a scam. Many youtube videos are surfacing with built in algorithm to generate the scammer's address. And they promise 3x, 4x returns. And they even post fake comments on the video with there other "scammer" account saying it works ! 

never try this if you need information then send PM to thymos its better they has no project like this 

Even if it was not a scam (which it obviously is), it would be too late to participate anyhow.

Received. I will check it out tomorrow, since Gmail is very limited on the phone, and it is already 1:45 am (wayyyyyyyy past bed time!)

Sent

It is fake. Nowadays it is very simple to fake email addresses! If you forward me the email, I can tell you who actually sent it. You can find my email on my site: http://nahtnam.com

Lol, i got this too.

anything that looks too good to be true is probably too good to be true. who would in their right mind give you a 300% return in 1 hour? what would they be doing within that 1 hour in order to create 301%+?

I had my doubts so i posted it on here. Hopefully now that everyone will see it, it will be fair warning for those who may be new to Bitcoin and think its legit.

They are just spoofing the address. I've seen this thing going around for quite a while. Should be obvious enough, but definitely don't fall for it.

Good to know. It looks all scammy, but claims its from Bitcoin.org. Atleast put some effort into it.lol

I've seen this on a few other posts.... SCAM!

Just got home from a trip and had this email. Is this bogus
