These scam ideas are old, but still work for scammers. If the scammers weren't successful in these scams they wouldn't be wasting their time. Because every day new crypto users come in the crypto market so they are not aware of such scams and will consider these mails as genuine. So by exposing these scams crypto users are getting warnings regularly and can be alert.
Yes these old ideas generate their money so they are sticking with these old scam ideas. Though I saw many new ideas and unique ideas of scamming, luckily I didn't fall for any of these. They tried so many times but failed all the time.
But I am curious about who are the people that fall for email scams, most of the time I avoid these flashy emails.
This is just like where they make their daily bread, which means they can't just give up; when one way seems to not be working for them anymore and no one is falling victim again, they switch to another. Yesterday, I came across a thread here where the scammer was there to manipulate the victim's mind with a few pieces of information that might have been gotten from an unsecured site that he might have registered on. The scammer tries a new way of scamming by telling the OP to pay some fee in order for the scammer to release the OP's private information online, but the OP being smart enough figured out the scammer's error and used it against him.
The internet space are filled with both good and bad, good and reputable developers and the bad ones who their main objective is spamming, it did not start now, and I definitely don't think it will end now, all we just need is to be careful in other not to be a victim of such one day.
