I received the following email:


By no means, it looks like an official mail from the forum. Even the link is a fake one too.
It redirects to a clone of the forum. The phishing site as I received it is: (DON'T VISIT)
Code:
http://www.martynparry.com.au/index/?topic=5169902.0&u=apoorvlathey

It is not sure who might be behind this scam.

Most probably the scammers are using hacked email list to send out these emails because my account once got hacked in the past. Not aware if anyone else received the mail or not.

/Edit:

Another case of sharing this phishing site, this time via personal message:

Make sure you don't click PM links coming from naufalbashar scammer.
He's using special character г which looks like r

He's PMing people requesting clicking on a phishing website to "reply to him"

Phishing website is currently hosted on www. martynparry. com.au/index/?topic=3243635.0 (DO NOT GO THERE OR LOGIN WITH YOUR BITCOINTALK ACCOUNT, IT'S A PHISHING WEBSITE!!!)

I have already reported him to bitcointalk staff and to website admins as well (looks like legit website has been hacked and added fake phishing forum)
The domain name mentioned in the picture is original it is of bitcointalk.org only then how can the Phishing attempt be successful? I am a bit bad at hacking and all but as far as I know you need to create your own domain and a replica site to compromise with information of users. Won't entering data on the original username redirect the data to original database only? or is there something that I am missing?
