Hello, everyone
I want to share a recent experience with scammers pretending to be from Yobit support.
The scam email comes from mailer@yobithelp.net Which is not affiliated with Yobit in any manner.
When checking yobithelp.net it takes you to a Google support form, which clearly does not belong to Yobit.
The Scam message was related to coin listing offer, where they claim that you can apply for listing for a certain fee, and apply from inside yobit.net website, which looks very fine so far.
The coin listing form requires you to purchase a yobicode and put it in the form.
Then the idiot scammer asks to 'confirm' the information entered in the form including the code Cheesy

Of course no one should fall for this but it is worth writing about the experience.
After I replied to them that this is against Yobit instructions the scammer replied:
"Actually, I demanded for none activated code, but you cannot provide.
Its nothing to worry about, Im no longer interested in your deal.
Sorry for inconvenience."
Anyway, it added some humor to the day...
So, we aware of mailer@yobithelp.net and scam site http://yobithelp.net
Good luck all

They're taking advantage of the fact that yobit support has such a bad reputation. That's why they're hear in the first place. If yobit had a robust and functional support system then we wouldn't even be here talking about this site.

But yes, it's clearly a scam, I don't think that it's necessary to even confirm with the mods on yobit in order to see it.

From what I know, Yobicodes are irreversible, so treat it as so. A legit customer support representative has absolutely no business with dealing with money, or asking for investments, so that should be a huge alarm bell going off as soon as you see that email. And as you said, the domain name on which the email is hosted on also isn't owned by Yobit. Whenever you see an email in your inbox that is addressed to you by an exchange - make sure you verify the person sending it to you is the actual exchange.

I'd be interested in knowing how they obtained your email, though. Do they have a list of yobit users somehow, or just a database taken from some other scam crypto site?
