Same message but different user:

Ah, so maybe they are targeting people who use email to get notifications of PMs received. They would be less suspicious when they are being asked to login if they are not already logged in and posting/getting PMs.

Another excellent reason to use a password manager such as Lastpass. I would know something as wrong as soon as my username/password was not filled in automatically.

I am paranoid about those kinds of programs as I am afraid that someone could find a weakness in the program and steal all my passwords.

I got the same PM and the same message.

Agree, it's a phishing link.

Well spotted.. Also reported the user. Sad

Out of curiosity was it from the same user? or was someone making a lot of accounts to send the same message?

Hi bro! I have bad news for you! You can see about in there http://bilcointalk.org/index.php?topic=654845.msg7515541#msg751554

Additional Notes: The PM was reported to the mods, however I think the community should be aware of this and to avoid the possibility of having your account stolen. Note that the "l" is in place of the "t" in "bitcon" in the above domain.

EDIT: make warning message bigger font
