It's a virus .. you don't download it Roll Eyes

lol... when I first started using the internet, I used to download such files (12-13 years ago). I don't know what happened to the systems in which I used to browse, as they were library desktops, shared by hundreds of people. Grin

A much more effective one -

Dear sir,

We apologize for the late delivery, our database crashed and we had to manually rebuild it.

The following attachment contains the porn you ordered last week, we have decided not to charge your credit card due to the problem with our database.

-------

It's amazing how many smart people fall for that one (or similar) - the thought of porn and a reasonable explanation for why they are receiving it makes a lot of people lose their wits and run the file. Which should, btw, contain porn so they don't suspect they've been had for some time.

It took me at least a week to figure out where that damn virus came from.

As a Newbie on this message board I'd have to say that looks incredibly "legit".

What a pathetic attempt. if anyone does fall for this they don't deserve to be allowed any where near a computer.

If they send out the mail to 1000 bitcoin users they will surely get at least 10-50 users who might download it.
I hope OP reported that mail to Gmail as Phishing mail and blocked that particular mailing address.

I don't think they would get over 10 users to be honest. It's a silly attempt and most Bitcoin users are aware of phishing attempts and know that you should never download anything from a unknown source.

What do you think? Should I accept the congratulations?

I'm sure that this is fake message and very likely virus!
Just stop and think seriously are you really so important that FBI would send you any message.
In fact, i don't think that they will contact anybody in this way, it's funny, not serious

Just delete it and forget!

He won the silkroad seized coins auction , they had to contact him !
They used their message scrambler software to make it look like it came from China , so that if you intercepted it you would not find out how to get the Bitcoins !

OP , please open it and share some of the Bitcoins with us ?

Look at who sent it. Does it look like [email protected]? No, its from some random chinese scammer. Is the FBI in cn?

Ha, woot! I wonder if all the agents over at the FBI actually have email addresses that begin with "agent..." Ha, that'd be awesome! What if they've got multiple agents with the same name, though?

Man, I believe that's some fake right there. The English doesn't sound right and what's that mail address? Sounds pretty fakey! Better get some virus protection, they might be after your B T C !
