Hi Marc,

I still can't import the private key and I have 51.973444 BTC. I see the balance on blockchain.info but something is corrupt with my bitcoinqt client and I cannot transfer the BTC.

Here is a zip attached with my wallet.dat, and the password. ************ Can you please transfer the BTC to the following address : ************************** ?

Thanks alot you save my life !

My name is surely not Marc.
Question is this... is this a new form of scam/virus related on bitcoin?
The link brings to a zipped file called walletBTC.zip
And why in the world I would send them to him? I'm like... keep them for myself, right?
Should I try to open it in a safe zone aka linux machine and be curious like a cat to know what the hell he sent to me or should I simply delete the email and let it go forever like it never happened?

And see what it says, 98% sure it is a virius...

Also, did you know the sender? What e-mail was it from?
