Bitpay hack confirmed today, /r/Litecoin community member states he ONLY used his email for Bitpay before this was public (I think)

It is a scam,
Got 3 of this but all different than other
But the same e-mail.

The page http://www.globaladvisors.co.uk/ is giving a phishing alert:

"PHISHING ALERT: PLEASE TAKE EXTRA CARE IF YOU RECEIVED AN EMAIL RECENTLY PURPORTING TO BE FROM US"

Be aware guys

Interesting piece of information here https://www.reddit.com/r/litecoin/comments/3l3v8x/phishing_attempt_from_global_advisors/cv37dlk

Sadly, people fall for this and its the main reason why these emails are sent out. The idea of striking it rich in such a short amount of time paints a good portion of the threads here.

I got it also and I simply reported it as spam/suspicious

Got one as well


If you go to the site it states its from, there is a message stating the following:

PHISHING ALERT: PLEASE TAKE EXTRA CARE IF YOU RECEIVED AN EMAIL RECENTLY PURPORTING TO BE FROM US



EDIT: If you guys want to see it, dont be dumb enough to click on the links in the email, google the site and go that way.

Yep, Received the same retarded e-mail also and cmon 50% monthly!

I did a quick search, and it appears the only way to report a spam to Google is through the Gmail interface. 

Yeah I received this.

I think he is, since he mentioned that he already reported the post to Google. Is there a way to do that without having a Gmail account? (Not sarcasm, I'm actually wondering.)

My friend you need to get a gmail account.  Googles does the best job of sorting out spam.  I hardly get any; I did get this one.

ex-GAW customer only used emails for their service and now getting that spam as well


are you as well ex-GAW customer?

op if that's the only bitcoin related spam you're getting, then you're one of the lucky ones. I'm getting upto 20 spam mails per day with phishing links,
mallware links, attached exploited files .. just to describe few of them.
It seams that many bitcoin related sites are selling mailing lists, and the forum hack didn't help either.

My advice is; just ignore it, it goes into the spam folder anyways, i'm reporting spams as well, but i doubt that helps, since they still keep coming.

cheers

reported to google for spam

got this too this morning was wondering what it is because i never get btc related e-mails to this inbox

Done.

not legit.
most people will not even consider investing after reading half of the message. send btc to their address and get 50% return a month later? yeah right.

Ever since the Forum has been under a DDoS attack, even I'm receiving these ponzi scam emails. Report them to Google so that the sender's account is blocked.

Of course this is scam. Ponzi.

Just got this email. Looks like a scam to me. Anyone else get it? Also it looks like I am getting more of these since the forum was hacked?
