Looks like somebody is piggybacking on an old database leak from a Bitcoin site and sending a phishing email from "[email protected]" (it is not coming from any of my servers, it is fake).  It mentions trying to contact you over a failed transfer and has a link to an "attachment" (virus).

Obviously it's a damn fake, but I've gotten over 70 email replies from people this morning, and a good portion of them are believing the contents or providing extra information.


EDIT/ADDITIONAL INFO:  This is NOT coming from a leak of email addresses at BTC Guild.  I have about a dozen replies from people stating they have no account with BTC Guild.  I'm sure if I scanned through all the email replies and compared them to my database there would not even be a 50% match rate.
