Thanks for the heads up mate , simply report it using your email provider if it have any option to report (like gmail ...) and everyone else should do that too .
They probably shouldn't have misspelled instructions. Thanks for the notice.
I just received that phishing email:
Dear Bitcoin user,
When the New York Department of Financial Services officially announced (pg. 14) its "BitLicense" regulatory proposal in the New York State Register, it said in its legally required statement of needs and benefits: Extensive research and analysis by the Department of Financial Services ... has made clear the need for a new and comprehensive set of regulations that address the novel aspects and risks of digital currency.
Thus we are asked to update bitcoin transaction methods in order to facilitate more transparent bitcoin transfers. As of end of April bitcoin network WILL NOT support old transfer methods, but worry not this will be a smooth transition.
Please see the instctions how to configure your bitcoin client and full press release in this document.
Please note that attached document has been digitally signed and might require additional action from some Microsoft Office users.
Sincerely,
Jim Harper Bitcoin Foundation
