It will either just be a phishing attempt or something from a social network. Just ignore it either way.

hilariousandco, are you known to have a large amount of BTC, perhaps? Maybe somemone is following you, trying to phish for your money.
Define large amount haha. No, I wouldn't say I have an especially large amount of cryptos, but I guess any amount of BTC is of worth to scammers, especially when it grows every day.
big brother is watching you.
seriously though, what about other social media?
my email is on here and i never got such phishing email.

I don't use it. I don't even really use twitter, but I only logged on to retweet to get some free coins. I Have a Facebook but haven't logged in ages and not since I got involved with cryptos. I use a different email address for personal stuff and forums, so I don't know how they tied my personal account to my involvement with cryptos. It's perplexingly worrying.

I bet you mentioned @MtGox in a tweet!
Nope, but I did retweet somebody who used the hastag #bitcoin.
Ha that may be enough these days! Maybe someone somewhere in the thread mentioned @MtGox?
Nope, not that I can see, but the user I retweeted has lots of tweets about bitcoin. Still slightly paranoid about this lol.

So technically it's an email from Twitter and not MtGox - at a guess as this happens with any of my Twitter accounts regardless of whether they have an email address which is also tied to a MtGox email.

I've never signed up with Mt Gox.
It's a phishing email. Ignore it. I've had similar emails since joining BitcoinTalk a few days ago.Thanks. I don't know how they got my email address though because it's my own personal day-to-day one, and not the one I use for this forum.

Anyone else get an email? Got one this morning at 12:45 AM UK time, even though I've never signed up with Mt Gox. I haven't opened it, but it starts:
Any idea on this? Thanks.
