Yes they are sending out XLM emails too, it is the same team behind the scam. With the XLM email they were being diverted to the now parked fake domain with a malicious download to the PC, thankfully for now at least the website is down.

UPDATE #2: The same scammers are using stellar.org.vc to use a variation to steal XLM (malicious download link) but nevertheless the domain registrar has also diverted it to a parking page too.

Probably this/these is/are the scammer/s who keeps sending XLM emails via users. Now after using stellar they are now into xrp.

Good find mate. This is really enticing to newbies and users especially the giveaway is a major coin that is popular. Now these scammers are wise now, maybe they thought that if they used unknown projects no one will get attracted anymore so using bigger worms to catch some fishes swimming and tempted by Free tokens.

UPDATE #1: The website is no longer operating, it seems the domain registrars have taken it down and diverted it to a parking page.

UPDATE #2: The same scammers are using stellar.org.vc to use a variation to steal XLM (malicious download link) but nevertheless the domain registrar has also diverted it to a parking page too.

These are two websites these scammers were using to steal funds but thankfully they have been put out of action. Sooner or later they will use other domains to continue with the scam but for now at least they have been neutralised.
