so the best advice is to stop opening unrecognized mails.
Yes, Even those scammers use some tools to check who are opening the email and who are not. And thus they frequently keep sending who open it. So better to not open. But we are all very curious when we see something like this, Smiley (because we are human)

Always such email is risky and it will more risky when it carry a link or a file. So always don't brother to visit the link or download the file.

Scammers/hackers knows how to attack men. Of course they'll be using a fake adult profile that offers nudity and stuff like that. Now, If you have a good bag of crypto and other important financial information stored on your computer, then you better be more careful on clicking links, especially in the email If not necessary.
As always better be safe than sorry.

Every time whenever I check my emails and the contents of such contain links leading to like a giveaway or porn stuff, I blatantly ignore them.

Just a question though, was there a time that you guys received an email containing a link and such link was really a legit giveaway or website? I'm really curious as I only tend to ignore these kinds of links given the number of scammers nowadays.

On a side note, it is always better to post these kinds of threads to at least inform newbies and naive beginners on what to avoid.

Those scammers have already a bunch of lists of their scams and they will execute their plan one after another if the other one didn't work. we just need to be careful and be vigilant every time we received such emails. Most of the time when I think of any strange about some emails, I delete them at once to prevent some scam script that might gonna run after I open that email. Things on the internet are scary, we need to consider our safety before jumping into our imagination. Just be careful when you press the unsubscribe button, maybe some of them will also lead you to some strange site. it is best to scan every link to prevent those scammers from gaining control of our system.

indeed, i also get regularly emails from prince of some kind of land in Africa, or some wealthy Chinese / American  about the millions that i inherited  Grin

i would say , use your mind , if something is good to be true then 99% is it a scam

and never ... NEVER give you your private key to sites / strangers  heck even to your family ...

I have to say this is unconventional method, the scammer avoid spam filter by visiting random website with live chat feature, enter your email, then fill the chat with malicious message.
~~
If it's on your inbox rather than spam, some people will open it. Besides, it's possible you got important message (such as hack attempt on your account) which you don't expect at all.
I want to share a little of my experience related to email.
before my blockchain wallet was hacked, a few days before I got lots of emails related to airdrops, and emails from websites that I don't think have been on there. I have clicked unsubscribe but there are still many emails like that, this makes me annoyed and finally ignores the emails.
Then when I wanted to withdraw BTC from a blockchain wallet, my BTC was gone and from the transaction history I saw that my BTC had been sent to another wallet, and for sure it was a hacker wallet.
This is really a valuable experience. since then I was really protective of my email. hopefully, this can be a lesson for all.

The best thing to deal with these things is just to ignore them, if you have received a mysterious email containing a link then ignore it and never tried to open it, a lot of scammers enjoying the world internet and searching for someone that they can pool by such things and only beginners would be the victims of such tricks. Be knowledgeable enough to determine if a scam is attempting.

Email is considered as the main source or tool used by scammers and hackers, so always be careful, or better you should use different emails for different purposes just like what I am doing.

Most of my emails are not being opened depending on the subject line and the sender. You would know if you want to read something because you are interested in it. It's doubtful to be scammed if you are not going to read it in the first place, right? So I believe everyone should know that it's better to be conspicuous about it and never be baited into such things.

Probably most of the time, people who get scammed by that are those who are gullible and easily shined by how amazing the "prize" is or something. You just have to give them your personal information or even the seed phrases into your crypto wallet.

Be careful.
