How successful can these people be?

If you have 2 factor authentication, they will not be able to access the account?

Well the password on transfers, will not help you, if they could login successfully.

They hoping it's a newbie without 2FA then. Cheesy

Just another reason, not to save your stash on online wallet services. Keep it offline in a paper wallet.

Its known as a phishing site. They have also appeared on google search featured ads areas. Be careful what you click and youre better off typing a URL directly!!

Yes there are a lot of scamming attempts with blockchain.info, never click a link like this, or on Google ads, always login by typing the website itself or bookmarking it.

The bad English in the e-mail is a dead giveaway tho, but I bet a lot of people will fall for this when they see they will lose their wallet/bitcoins as described in the e-mail, however the real blockchain.info would never send an e-mail like this, it's just impossible every user of their site to respond in 24 hours before they lose their wallets/bitcoins.

I also haven't received any e-mail from fake blockchain.info scammers, but thanks for the warning.

Everyone beware of all the scamming going on!

That's definitely a scam, blockchain does not even have access to your bitcoins Roll Eyes

And the name that the real blockchain.info uses in emails is just "Blockchain". What email was this sent from?

I pulled up the header info on the email and it appears to have come from [email protected]

That's strange. There's been more and more Blockchain phishing sites appearing. I usually tell the difference by whether my Identifier is remembered or not. However, I haven't gotten any E-mails of these phishing sites?

I just got the following e-mail, supposedly from BlockChain.info:

Since our last update on our servers, we worried about the size of wallets. And many of these wallets are no funds, no movement and no logins.

Because to avoid future problems with our servers, we are requesting that all users wishing to continue with their wallets to make a brief confirmation.

If you want to continue using your account on Blockchain, please click the link below and confirm your wallet:

https://blockchain.info/wallet/confirm/

If within 24 hours we do not receive your confirmation, your wallet will be erased and all their bitcoins will be reset.

However, the URL shown in the e-mail actually links to:

http://x2host.biz/wallet_confirm_step_47f3445fd4565rtg23544555213f2ge23454ewj4hj45566gheehj4535hjgjd_activate457eweyu4234234jhf_id=3ybnj4555sddf3442237.htm

Just an FYI to anyone with a wallet over @ BlockChain.info.

Cheers!
