I also received such a letter.  I immediately send them to spam and do not open them.  But those who are interested in, and they pass by reference - money disappears from the wallet.  But only the person who at least once lost his money, he will treat his savings more accurately.

I received an email from MyEtherWallet to claim some tokens of an airdrop I joined. Hovering my mouse over the link,  I discovered it's a link to another cgi scripted site.

Interestingly you don't create MEW wallets using email addresses.

Guys be careful and be vigilant.

Good thing that you check and didn't click that phishing link, otherwise your MEW wallet will be in danger from hackers trying to steal our hard earn tokens from bounties or even airdrops.

And thanks for the warning, although I haven't received this kind of emails, I will be aware that such attempts have been used by hackers. Just bookmark MEW and keep your private key safe.

And I hope that everyone reading this should also be aware and be careful. Not just on our emails but around the web as well. Hackers are targeting us because of huge amount of money they can stole from everyone.

Thanks for the heads up. That's right, you don't even put your email on MEW. One should always be careful when opening emails related to crypto or never open them and delete them.

That surely a phishing site,mew doesnt send any emails from their users,also no airdrops should require your private keys if they require you to put an email you can use a dummy email so you wont get phished by these people.I know how these people works because i was once a victim by these phishing site,you can install metamask extension to protect your keys when you are transacting with dex or decentralized exchanges like etherdelta and forkdelta.

First: Myetherwallet will never send you an email. And second Myetherwallet warn you to bookmark their real address and use it only from your bookmarks and never from email.

I am sure users of MEW know this but out of curiosity some people will still click on the link and latter complain that their account was hacked. ones you are into online kinds of stuff like this you need to keep you tempo calm and read every message line by line before taking any action. there are many thugs on the internet that is looking for a slight mistake from exchange users in order to steal their coin from their wallet. so everyone should be careful

My first question when receving such an email would be how the fu*k does MyEhterWallet have my email at all? You don´t have to register nor give any info.

Beware from spam mails because Myetherwallet never send you email because they don't have your email id. Never open any email or link which you will get in email without confirming the source of sender.

Myetherwallet may never send email to anyone because they never ask for our email when we register on it. So this may be send by scammers to steal your information and your money. Kindly never opened the this type of links to secure your wallet and holdings in it.

Surely these airdrops are being used to shady businesses do not use your main email address when you are required to put an email within these airdrops because they will only send you spam and phishing links so you can be phished when you arent aware.You can avoid these by joining airdrops using your dummy email addresses so there wont be any problem,a lot of people will try to steal your precious investments that is why you need to be vigillant.

I don't believe the email comes from myetherwallet, it probably just pretends to be from them. So many phishing sites related to mew, everyone needs to be very vigilant!

It is scam,
Myetherwallet never send email or notification by email, if u received email just ignore it and never open mew it from the email link., 
You must bookmark link mew in your browser, or use metamask.

There is not necessary to indicate mailbox when you create MyEtherWallet. And you are not alerted that you received a message from MEW on the mail, right?

i received to. it looks like there's someone who randomly pick Mail address from ICO bounty spreadsheet and trying to scam people. or maybe there's a scam airdrop who sold our mail address.
we should always double check sender mail address to avoid scammers via Email.

You should always think before clicking on random links. In this case, does MyEtherWallet know your email? Of course not. In fact, it's very easy not to get caught by scammers.
