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?

I wouldn't be at all surprised if it was actually Yobit or their staff doing this on the side - such is their reputation. Looking up yobithelp.net reveals the following:

It's a different domain from the Russian one Yobit use, but it's easy enough for them to have created this domain with ionis.com & they have all Yobit users account details anyway.

Just a thought. It wouldn't surprise me at all.

Best option would be to report the domain, which Yobit could & should have done straight away, but haven't - strangely......

You have a very good point if this domain will ruin their reputation I mean adding more bad reputations to their exchange, they would have reported it right away, but it seems one of Yobit's head might be behind this or somebody that got all of the user's info in their database and now are trying to scam people, best advice is, stay from anything yobit.
