200% virus in the link. Stay away from it. A user got scammed by downloading a client for secure document exchange. The headers say it clearly. And who is the fool returning that much tx fee.

Be aware the email addresses used, exactly match my public profile emails on bitcointalk

Unless I was specifically targeted, there is a good chance other forum members will get this email today

Return-Path: <[email protected]>
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
[email protected];

subject: Lost 136,000 USD in Bitcoin? This Mining Pool is Looking for You

Dear Sir,
we are currently waiting for someone to reach out to us and claim their mistake so that we can verify them and send their bitcoin back, but so far as of this posting nobody has been able to verify it.

Best Regards.

Did anyone else get this email?
Based on the email addresses where I received this email, I can tell the sender got the list from bitcointalk forum profiles

The blockchain link shows a tx for 0.0001 bitcoin and a fee of 291.2409 BTC...

The block was found by BitClub Network... does coindesk even have a mining pool?

I did not click on the google drive file for fear it is a virus
