Phishing E-mail Scam - November 2022

[dyli21]

Im still p1 and didnt play this week, could this be scem mail ?

 

[email protected] is the provider

[lrgnugs]

i think its a scam I also just received this

[Justin0317]

Stake is definitely try to scam us 

[Avisraj]

I got the same email.

But the domain is [email protected] this is the domain which stake use.

How scammer use stake.com domain to send email?

[girliegirl]

Why we weren't informed about this. Now it is only an email adress next time it are our funds. You have a serious security issue if these things can happen.

I'm also unsure as I have been inactive for a fair while and got the same e-mail, same time. Sent a message to support just to ask what it is otherwise I'm fairly certain it was an error sent out to every single VIP user.

I clicked at the link but didn't log in. Do you think anything happened and what should I do? 

[BOYGIRA]

Is that email contains a messages like “You now have additional VIP bonusses bla bla” ?

[girliegirl]

[Avisraj]

I think this mail is sent mistakenly from stake.com

E-mail spoofing is not difficult.

Are you sure it's a scam? It's using the regular stake mail server and looks legit 

[girliegirl]

As an IT practice, i said it would be happens.

Do NOT click the link. It seems that they used [email protected] but with a capital I instead of a lowercase l, since on some email web addresses it appears the same. It's a scam email...I've already forwarded it to my VIP host and sent it to stake support. Please notify the entire community. I opened the link on an incognito window and after about 2 minutes it goes to a third party site indirectly before showing you the stake homepage and oddly requiring you to sign in. Also note the messed up grammar in the last line

I already clicked at the link.. What could be the risk I'm facing? Are we talking about virus/Trojan issue?

It's not an I; it's an L. You can copy paste the address into word and change all letters for uppercase to check. The e-mail is just spoofed.

Same with me, dont worry no virus or trojan.. it was informed them that we are active with clicking that link. So, be carefull in future.

[girliegirl]

stake reacted in Telegram. But no word of security issue and how they were able to get all our email adresses.

I also clicked it but didn't provide any data. Do you think it harmed the phone?

It's a spoofed e-mail (not difficult to do) - the bigger question is how all e-mail addresses got leaked

I've looked at the link on a seperate computer and can confirm it's a phishing setup.

So how bad could it be clicking on the link from your phone which has multi important accounts open/password saved on it? 

[lrgnugs]

Shouldn’t be worried if you didn’t sign in to anything.
