Was it ever ascertained where the scammers obtain the email addresses from?

If someone had funds on Bitsler and found this email while being inactive on this gambling for a while, he would be affected by the panic. With Spear Phishing from the official email, the casino player may feel that the message is from a trusted source and rush to log in to his account through the phishing link.

Attention and caution are two important factors when dealing with these emails, whether the messages are related to a casino, exchange, or any other financial company. Any platform could be vulnerable to a breach of user data or other methods through which scammers could target the affected casino players. I will now report the phishing domain that ends with .info.

I stopped using bitsler more than a year ago. I think I received the same time but I can't remember the details also, I have not checked the URL as I had stopped using the site. And I had just deleted the message and as the message was more than a month ago the trash has also gone.

Same for me as far as I stopped using Bitsler more than a year ago. I do have the phishing email but I'm not dumb enough to click nor did I care to login and check anything.

I hope Bitsler didn't get breached somehow or sell any info. I always got the feeling they were pretty good as far as security on the site went.

Not a bad attempt, considering that there is such a thing as dormant account fee where casinos and centralized services charge your account a fee if you haven't used it for a long time. But it's usually much longer than 30 days. 12 months is more likely. I have also had dummy accounts at online casinos deleted for never using them and only creating them to check certain data for the threads I have on Bitcointalk.

The scammers were a bit too hasty with their message and contradict themselves.
They state that your balance will expire soon, but also that your balance is 0. Not only that, but they warn you that they will charge another dormant account fee next month (from an account with a 0 balance). Roll Eyes

I have never heard or seen a casino account with a negative balance.

Other than that, I believe this could trick careless players and beginners.

That's why it's important to always scam the URLs you are going to before you use them. VirusTotal helps a lot here, but I am not sure if it can consistently detect phishing pages, as opposed to malware which it finds really well.

Your thread is a very important warning and message for those that do use Bitsler. If they click the links and enter their details they are going to make huge problems for themselves.

Not specifically related to this email but in the general sense, sometimes the scammers work very hard to try to fool potential victims and the attempts are both elaborate and sophisticated. People have to always be aware of possible phishing before they click any links no matter how genuine any emails might appear to be.

This looks like a typical phishing attack but it is a bit strange if they actually used real Bitsler email account.
It's more likely coming from similar domain or scammers used punycodes for that, but I would always check destination link before clicking on it.
Every time we register on some website we are increasing chances of our email and personal information being leaked, so be careful everyone.

How do they get your email? I’m just curious because if they have your email, and you only use it for your Bitsler account, then it’s possible that it was leaked from Bitsler. I’ve received some phishing attempts as well, but mine were from an exchange, Coinbase. I wasn’t too surprised, though, since I use that email for various online activities.

I do not remember that I used that username anywhere else, so there is high probability of user database leak.

Also, note that link to bitsler.info is exact scam copy of bitsler.com

Actually, I just checked my email to see if I had a similar message like the one you posted, and surprisingly, there was one - it was an old message from 2023. So, these scammers have been doing this for quite some time. Luckily, I didn’t have any balance in my Bitsler account back then, so I just ignored it.

Anyway, thanks for sharing! It’s a good warning for those who have accounts to be cautious and not fall for these scammers.

The username in e-mail is the same I have on my Bitsler account. It is good idea to check spam folder too, e-mail could be there.

Checked all, and nothing suspicious for now.
If the campaign has just started, scammers may be working in batches, maybe in time other Bitsler users will receive similar emails.

Please keep us informed if you receive anything, so we know if the scam is still going.

How do they get your email?

You have to assume that the people who buy these email address lists in bulk try to correlate emails used on crypto related sites like for example coinbase to casinos that use crypto like bitsler. It is how scammers usually approach and if you are trying this in real life at least 10-20% will be correctly corelated.

Hence they send these scam emails in mass and those few people if they are frightened they will fall for the trap. The only way to prevent this is to learn how this scam works and delete those emails as soon as you get them.

I recieved e-mail from scammers that looked like it was sent from bitsler.com casino.

I did not receive anything similar to the email address I used when registering on Bitsler. It seems that not all users are affected, so either someone reached a partial number of users or this is coming from something else.
Is the username that you use on Bitsler specified in the critical email or is it random?

It seems that today was launched phishing attack that targets Bitsler casino users.

I recieved e-mail from scammers that looked like it was sent from bitsler.com casino.

What triggered my caution was that it said that my account went dormant, because I did not logged in for some time and because of that it will deduct funds from account until I log in

In e-mail there was also log in button and I checked log in URL on that button , but URL was not bitsler.com (legit casino) but bitsler.online (scam webpage).

Scam message:

Quote

Hello (name deleted),

Your Bitsler account has been dormant for 30 days.

As mentioned in our previous email and our Terms and Conditions (clause 13), we've charged your account a (0.009189056149) USDT administration fee from your balance.

Your remaining balance is: 0.
If your account remains dormant until (09-01-2025), we will charge a monthly administration fee from your account balance: either 5% of the remaining balance or 10 USDT (whichever is higher).

To make your account active again, simply log in at Bitsler.com.

Scam message that urges you to log in Bitsler asap.

Log in button leads to bitsler.online scam website.

E-mail was spoofed so it seems that it comes from legit bitsler.com service.

If you recieved this e-mail DO NOT click links and try to log in!!! You WILL lose your funds if you proceed with logging in!
