This isn't any new kind of scam attempt. This has been around for a very long time. The hard-drive one seems different but the wallet.dat file was certainly around since forever. The advanced version of this scam is asking someone to recover their bitcoins and sending them a wallet.dat file along with a virus which after executing steals your bitcoins or gives the user access to victim's wallet.dat file.

My emphasis was in the hard-drive one though.

This is double win for the scammer:

They get money for selling the wallet.dat file
They also steal whatever you have in your system once you try to open the wallet.dat file.

Scammers are now on the moon before the Bitcoin to land there LOL

How does this sound to you?

I'm a professional mines player. I have made over 500 BTC from playing mines. I won't tell you how or show you evidence of my profit for numerous replies. Invest 0.1 BTC by making an account for me and letting me play on it.
