I got an email today from a fake EOS and it said they are offering free token bonuses 1:1 for EOS holdings and 30:1 for Ethereum holdings. [email protected] was the email. I followed the link and followed the instructions. Scammers put some smart contract to just wipe out all of my ERC20 tokens. I lost 25,000 AirToken coins valued at $155. USD, 96 Stox valued at $43.50 USD , and 4614 PowerLedger coins valued at $1544.51 USD. I guess it is partially my fault, as I failed to notice the website was not www.eos.io.
Here are some screen shots of the scam email.
Here is the link to the bogus scam that is sent after you click the claim button.

I checked Youtube first to see if EOS was doing an Airdrop. I don't know if these guys are part of the scam.
Here is the link to the transfers (Stolen Tokens) on Etherscan.

The crypto-currency space is constantly being eroded by these scammer assholes. Scams like this just make the whole space look bad, and thus threatens the future of it being adopted by the mainstream. I'm pretty bummed out to lose these tokens. It would be great if some white hat hacker found my post and helped me recover my tokens.
