Wouldn't it be easy for someone to figure out who owned that url and charge him with conspiracy to hacking and stealing?

In the past week I've gotten identical "Invoice Payment Confirmation" emails from "Cloudhashing" and "Cointerra".

No text in the email -- just an attachment with a file called "invoice_772.jar"

Seems a phishing attempt too.

Thanks for posting
A needed reminder that a single moment of inattention can cost us all dear!
No problem. I'll post again if I get another phishing attempt on my email. I also had one from  cavirtex.com, but that was a long time ago.

MOVED THREAD, could someone please sticky this for newbies and anyone else to be aware of?

Please post any phishing scams that you have seen related to bitcoin. I first started this thread to notify people of a blockchain.info phishing attempt, and the original post is below, and after other people started posting other phishing emails I decided to move it to beginners and help to help others to not fall victim to these scams. Always be careful, general tips are to check the original email sender, and whenever you click a link, check the URL at the top. Usually people say to check if there is a green lock, but I hate this rule. Anyone can buy a green lock for about 2$, so you have to click on the green look and make sure it is the website you are looking for.

ORIGINAL POST:

Today I received an email from "blockchain" saying my wallet will be locked, and I need to verify my account to unlock it. The email looks very similar to an email from blockchain.info, but I had NEVER got an email from blockchain like this so I instantly knew it wasn't from blockchain. I checked who its from, and the email was sent from: [email protected]
I think theres a bot crawling these forums for email addresses.
This is what the email looks like:

If you click on the link, you are directed to a website that looks exactly like the blockchain.info wallet sign in page, but the URL is a lot different, and is easily noticeable. The URL was: http://www.blockchain.0800co.co.uk/en/wallet/login/62608fc635ceb5435bc2f7d51445ec89c8ba72da9a64bce2b398170e907a841200a28aee6c5e25d388a01a4c04c91f31/login.php?page=Login?token=7777772e626c6f636b636861696e2e30383030636f2e636f2e756bb9ef8a71b399cfafd89524da6fb5524f
Don't click on it please, and be VERY careful with emails from blockchain.info. I would reccomend adding [email protected] to a blacklist or a spam list if your email provider has something like that.
