This time i trust that email cames from phishing attempt. But i continue to have a bad opinion about Cryptsy
Indeed, this smells a lot of a Phishing attempt, the link in the msg harvests your e-mail address (or rather tries to "confirm", b/c they seem to already have that) for the presumed attackers in Australia (or wherever in fact they turn out to really be).
And yes, nothing to cause any "good feeling" about the current Cryptsy situation right now, though I'd still like to think that BigVern may be as much of a victim as any of us users: you guys may say what you want -- but to me, BigVern appears to be a good guy trying to get this properly resolved rather than "taking the money and run". Why wouldn't he much rather keep his business going after all the work he put into building Cryptsy; you don't want to end up hunted down like Karpeles. I also think, BigVern is far too smart to attempt any MtGox-style schemes. Everyone knows they get caught sooner or later just like Karpeles, and that's simply not "worth it". Also, I must say I'd hate to be in his shoes right now -- but maybe these Aussie whackos are digging their own graves and blow their entire attack this way now.
So let us wait and see how this thing really plays out before jumping to those all-too-common "Scam alerts" this forum and similar ones are so infamous for...
