    why would you post your email to your public forum profile? you are very prone to scam.

    I would say this is a scam and seeing that they bcc you, says that they sent this email to more than just you. I'd just delete it.

    Yes, this time it was a different mail, friends please beware and do not click any links in such mails, my account was hacked for atleast 20 mins and later realized that some random mails were sent to my friends from my email id :(
