ALERT: Liberty Reserve phising email

From August last year I haven't receive any phishing email from Liberty Reserve... Last one was on Liberty Reserve - phishing emails - watch out. Today I received new one. It really is annoying when I see such emails, which can be very dangerous for Liberty Reserve users. So if you have money on Liberty Reserve, do never click on any link from email or suspicious websites.

Even if it looks like it is directly from LR, it just looks like. Even if link seems to be correct, believe me, it is just text, the real URL address behind is different and will take you to hostile site where they take your credentials.

Here is how it looks the email I got (links removed of course):

IMPORTANT: Your LibertyReserve account has been suspended! (

Greens Finance - dirty scammers

Some may noticed that I was not online for couple of weeks. The reason was my business trip I had in Latin America. Most of time I was offline, but I managed to request withdrawal of all money I have in Greens Finance. It has been now 5 days until that and I receive nothing from this HYIP.

Funny thing is that when I am now looking back, this HYIP was certainly noted as scam in my post on this blog: Liberty Reserve - phishing emails - watch out. And yes, I should never ever reinvest in HYIP or any other kind of investing thing when I have at least some doubt about credibility of system, pool, broker or whatever.

But what makes me really angry is, that I received again a PHISHING EMAIL! One day after my withdrawal request I received the following email:

***********End of copy paste************

In attachment there is a HTML file with faked URL, which links you to fake Liberty Reserve site. This is now another (new) way of how to try to get account credentials from naive people. Since you really did request a withdrawal, you may believe that there really was something wrong with your account, and you go and try to restore your account... And give your information to dirty scammers from Greens Finance.

I wasn't get tricked, but some may get. My question is, how would you punish such scammers?

Liberty Reserve - phishing emails - watch out

After long time of holidays I've checked my accounts yesterday. The best option was Greens Finance , despite I announced it as a scam earlier in on Twitter. Since one investment period was over on GreensFinance, I had profit and initial deposit ready to withdrawal. I requested withdraw and reinvested; up to now, my request was not proceeded yet, but what is most scary - I got a phishing email. My feeling is, that GreensFinance is scam after all, since they are the only one who know, that I made withdrawal request in last hours. Phishing email is very good copy of Liberty Reserve official emails - but link is obvious fake and lead you to phishing site, which is there to take your credentials.

Lesson learned again: DO NEVER CLICK ON URL ADDRESSES FROM EMAILS!!!

This is an email I received couple an hours after my withdrawal request:

ALERT: Liberty Reserve website down

Despite advance notification from Liberty Reserve, that their service will be offline today on 09 January between 08:00 and 09:00(GMT), the site is DOWN now for more then 12 hours. This is not good for HYIP world, as it is not possible to do the transfers. Even I am waiting for important deposit I simply have to make, and this downtime already make me impossible to do profit.

Guys at LR will have to explain that, nevertheless they made a warning of possible DDOS attack Since December they obviously received quite some threats from hackers. Last one was on 3rd January this year... their message to users was short:

Possible Outages

We apologize for any possible outages in the near future due to a possible DDOS attack. This time, no specific threads or demands were made.

Apparently LR has some problems, either with hardware or software, or they have been dosed. WE should give them some time, I am sure they'll be back with an explanation.

DON'T CLICK on links if you got such an email. This reminds me on Blue people case, but this time the service producer (in this case LR) has done everything correctly, as there was no break into e-mail database.
