POLONIEX Phishing; Beware and never trust unsigned e-mails!

in #gridcoinstats8 years ago

It's an old school trick by now, and Poloniex exchange earlier today posted a warning to their userbase that some of them has recieved an e-mail reading like the following

"We have received reports of phishing emails claiming that due to wallet maintenance, customers must send their funds to a non-Poloniex address. This email is not from us. If ever in doubt, ask a moderator or contact support."

You should never trust unsigned e-mail conversations and always check with the source in question before doing something you would regret.
