I am not into Ethereum or into DeFi lending. I today received an email from Summer. Fi, which I am assuming is a lending platform. As I have never used any lending platform in the past nor will I use in the future I was astonished to see an email from them.

Below is the email content that I am quoting and also adding an image of it.

That looked so real and it did convince me click the attachment and download the pdf file. While thinking about it I realized I do not use Ethereum based platforms. Then I went ahead and checked the sender email address which was not I had expected. It showed - [email protected]

I asked myself why would someone or the platform send me an email that has a different domain name? I got convinced that this is a phishing email. But, I needed more proof that is why I used my mobile phone ability to tap on the link and explore them

When I saw those links they were suspicious, I am not going to post those links her but I will share the screenshot for everyone to understand.

Below is the image of those scripts used by scammers tonsend me a malware on my device.



Beware of such shits as they as in those scammers are always ready to loot your coins. This is why you should have a dedicated email only for crypto and never use your orginal email for anything related to cryptocurrencies.
