FYI:

I just received this e-mail (I X-ed out the specifics):

-------------------------

Hello XXXXXXXX…
 
I just did what you advised me to do but the problem remains the same : importing the private key is not working…. drives me nuts!
Last time I checked blockchain.info ( https://blockchain.info/address/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ) there was still XXXXXXX BTC ! But no way my bitcoinqt client loads the key so I am stuck with those BTCs.
 
 
Thanks for offering your help with this. Here is my wallet.dat with the password xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. If you need anything else let me know.
If you can load the key please send the BTCs to xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
This would help me so much. Thanks XXXXXXX!
 
XXXXXXX

Google provided me a warning:

"Be careful with this message. Similar messages were used to steal people's personal information. Unless you trust the sender, don't click links or reply with personal information."

So, Google is apparently aware it is a phishing attack. Since not everyone uses Google, though, I thought I would post a warning about it here.

If you receive this e-mail, DO NOT CLICK THE LINKS!!! Delete it immediately.
