Recently several slack channels have been targets of an automated phishing scam to try and get users to hand over their keys to crypto currency.
One such example is below - the perpetrators registered myetherwallet dot xyz and masked that link within the phishing scam.
Some resources to report further below - increasing risk of getting caught should in theory reduce this annoyance. In future I see a specialized anti fraud blockchain based community emerging to promote awareness and increase deterrence.
I'm sure there are others, but frankly I'm not convinced State Governments are as interested as they should be in reducing fraud. Perhaps this is an easy way for them to raise "off book" revenues to avoid accountability. A stretch maybe, but either way, fraud in the emerging blockchain space is a big obstacle to wider adoption (especially for those less technically savvy).
A reminder to never provide sensitive information when it is initiated by a 3rd party (even if that party seems legitimate).
