Additional Notes: Don't fall for this scam. With the upcoming Spark (Flare) airdrop for Ripple holders we can expect comparable scam attempts in the future. Always double-check. Never enter your privat key! Better safe than sorry!

Topic: Commencing the Incentive Initiative distribution

Boosting our liquidity to compensate for the economic downturn
As economies around the world are hit by the global crisis, Ripple is moving firmly towards economic recovery. With 2 earth shattering projects being put to water - the Community Incentive Plan and the Support Program, Ripple is starting to unlock XRP clusters previously reserved strictly for enterprise clients.
By making available over 5.12 Billion XRP, both campaigns are entirely focused on the users of RippleNet.
Users can enrol by whitelisting their address in preparation for the Community Incentive and Support Program. The first wave of XRP will be redistributed starting November 26 and will be aimed towards current holders - in personal addresses or exchanges.
Register
Thank you,
Team Ripple
