I hope you rewarded him for his honesty.  Can you change the topic of your post, so people don't get a bad impression of syabiz?  If people only read the first few posts he will end up with a tarnished reputation.

Well, that wallet.dat was mistakenly left by me on a public server a year ago.

Just found by mistake by Mr.syabiz.
Apologies.
Case closed.

i assume the "wallet.dat" is some trojan?
Wallet.dat is usually a wallet file that contains the private keys to an (what the scammer is trying to get the OP to believe, a 100 BTC) address.

If I had to guess, I would say that the file is not a wallet.dat file but rather some kind of virus of some sort.

I might open the file in a VM to see if it actually contains anything useful at all.

syabiz is from malaysia as you can see his posts in this forum, but still I dont understand how he supposed to cheat on you with that email, I didnt see any links to click except the file attached.

did he really attach a wallet.dat file in his email ? have you scan it with virustotal ?
Even if it was a virus, unless it was exploiting some previously undisclosed vulnerability in Windows, the Windows loader can't execute non-exe files by doubleclicking(not to my knowledge).

What about the JPG keyloggers I've heard about? Or I guess these were hidden EXEs.. Can't this be a hidden executable file? Like wallet.dat.exe but the exe doesnt get shown and the warning gets ignored by the user because he's excited to get the 100 BTC wallet.dat

Possibly Malaysia or Indonesia

.003 in that wallet. I hope it isn't people actually falling for this stuff. It reads like a variation on the old Nigerian scam.

Why are you even asking? Obviously a scam of some sort, unless you have lost a wallet with 100btc in it?

Hi,

Today I got this letter:

"Hi [my real name]

Some time ago I found your Bitcoin wallet contains 100 BTC.

Do not ask me how I got it because as a developer you'd know it.

After I seek to know, I am sure It belongs to you. and should I return it to you. had the intention to take the bit trying to crack the key ..

Although for some time I may be trying to break passwords to gain bitcoin in it. But I do not have ethics because you certainly will not stay silent and certainly able to keep track of where I am.

So how much better I return something I do not belong to the original owner ...

I hope that if you are kind enough to give me some BTC for use as commercial capital if you kindly about this ...

I am attaching a file with the "wallet.dat: you belong with this email

If you intend to donate to me for some BTC you have, please donate to me via the following address my wallet.

Thank you"

So... what do you think about it ?
