Seriously, come on guys anyone who would click a link from this kind of message has to be very disturbed. I mean i am no english perfectionist by any means, and my spelling is horrible, but this message just screams hacker.

too much hackers attacks with pishing and stole logins

You will need to use your logins info (foreigners ALWAYS pluralize things that should not be pluralized) (very seldom does a real business abbreviate the word information)

These info will be locked (LOL these info)

and no one will can change it (I dont even think we have a rule for this situation, I have heard of double negatives but, no one will can, what rule does that fall under.)

If someone hack your account, him dont will can stole you, (So by hacking script.cc accounts they can "stole" us personally, I would love to see this)

I have to ask this, because their are so many people from this country scamming in crypto right now, I wonder if this was sent by a Russian.

For future reference, whenever you ever get a questionable email or any business is asking you to "update your account info" or "verify your account info" never click a link, go to the site, go to your support area and email them directly and tell them you received an email about account verification/account update and you would like to verify/update your account. Problem solved.

The real question you should be concerned with is, if these Phishing emails are going to a majority of Scrypt.cc members, how and why? Was their database compromised?  Was the emails stolen and they did not tell their investors? Is it scrypt.cc actually sending the emails? I mean you have to ask, because a stolen account is a perfect way to scam someone without the fingers being pointed directly at you. Imagine the benefits of a company Phishing their members accounts and emptying them.
