Be careful to ensure your really getting a true Bitpay message in your inbox
Bitpay announced there is someone using bitpay.org as their email address and trying to scam people out of funds. This phishing account has sent a mass amount of users a message and has nestled a funky link with properties to insert possible malware. Bitpay urges users to report the messages to their email provider so it can be dealt with and stop the usages of their name to attack their users.
Bitpay announced the following on REDDIT in hopes of warning their valued customers:
“This is not a legitimate BitPay email and is a clear phishing attempt. If you receive this email do not open its contents and certainly do not click on any link, button, or attachment.”
I actually use a Bitpay card and a very active user with their Windows Bitcoin wallet. One thing I have found about Bitpay is the fact they give great customer service and value each user they obtain. Hopefully this doesn't create issues for them, but overall I think their reaction to get the info to the public was just another sign as to why I have grown to enjoy their service.
Pass this along, I know their is a bunch of us Bitpay card holders in this community, figured in case you missed the news I would put this out there for you to be aware of. All official Bitpay emails come from bitpay.com not this impersonator that uses bitpay.org so if you see the org in there, report it or just avoid it!
