I never got that. But:
- your emails are public (here, on this forum).


So my guess is that they spammed you from that.

You can put your emails private in your profile.

Anyway, you know that it is a ponzi/scam and won't do it so ... Just delete it.
And thanks for sharing it.


Hopefully it might help some newbie to NOT send them coins.

Dear God, this spam email is almost as bad as the Nigerian Prince email. Although saying that, I am still waiting for the Nigerian Prince who actually had a name to send me my 5 million dollars...

That email is very obvious scam. No one in their right mind would fall for that email.
