If you participate in bounty programs, you must make a separate email address for this purpose. In addition, never click on the links that are specified in the emails. Use only those sites that you have previously added to your favorites for your work.

Something to add, use two emails one for services you know are legit and other for the opposite.
I don't think just two emails will be enough. For example if you use use the same email address for banking and social media, you will get bombarded with crappy emails from your social media-related activities. They are both legit services, but I don't think they should be connected.

For bounty hunters, they'll sign up to those because they treat it as a free money although there will be no assurance that the token they are about to receive will have value. They go with the promises that turns out to be a failed project. Us, who are aware of such, we tend to ignore them but these scams are targeting newbies.
Oh, I also forgot this, bounty hunters especially in Altcoin sections are also vulnerable to this kind of attack.
I think some of the bounty campaigns there require you to fill up some forms, and maybe some of those asking for your personal information, like email addresses or links of some of your social media accounts.
They do ask for it.

And that's why the bounty hunters should be aware of what they're signing up so that they wouldn't be surprised if someone emails them with an unusual promotion or advertisement through their email. If they can remember that they didn't signed up for any other thing except the bounty, that's where the conclusion starts.
But for sure, some of the bounty hunter veterans already aware of this, they have some solution for it, like they are creating separate email addresses for their bounty campaigns, separate from their personal or whatever. The difficulty here if some newbie started to join some bounty campaigns and entered their email addresses, then that's the start they got some scam emails and fall for it.

They use a variety of emails to join Bounty and the number of scams increases More emails are hacked at Bounty That's why we need to keep the keys well to keep our email safe No one can easily scam without knowing the key. Also, avoid new links or sites. The sites need to be monitored closely In case of doubt, it is better to use a new email instead of personal mail No one will be able to easily scam it.

One of my mistakes when I was a newbie and didn't care too much about my privacy is using my main email to register on different platforms. I even used the same password  Undecided

It is something that many still practice today, one e-mail and only one password on all sites. And what the bad guys realized a long time ago is that there is a very simple way to hack someone's e-mail account. They simply create eye-pleasing pages where they organize some giveaways/competitions, and all you have to do is register with your e-mail. In case the user uses the same password, the hacker invisibly logs in to the victim's e-mail and tries to do as much damage as possible in the shortest possible time. If there is no 2FA or other way to fix it, the hacker gets full control over the email and all other services related to it.



If people bother check sender's email address and domain of the link in the email, they could avoid most scam/spam email.

Just to learn not to click on links that look suspicious, or at least to copy and analyze them on pages like virustotal before clicking on them.

I often get SPAM messages from scammers like this. Usually the message will go to the SPAM folder so it is very easy to know that the email is a phishing email that will trap us to click on it.
Although there are several emails that come in the main message, but still must be vigilant and pay attention to the intended link.
Most importantly do not publish personal emails that are very important for your account. Use a backup email address if you have to include email in a few posts and airdrop, bounty and other projects.

These emails include
* you should change your password, follow this link
* follow this link below to change your password
* your password needs to be changed. Click here.
*  you need to change your password to be able to access your account
Beware of all these

I don't think that listing 4 possible email templates will help protect people.
There are limitless ways of creating email that people will click. Often using natural disasters or world-known events also. But possibilities are endless, so no point listing them.

I would say not only beware scam emails but also fake sites (phishing).
In general everyone involved in Bitcoin should study computer security a bit. Read basic articles, then more advanced ones, anything you will do will help here, you set the limit how much u want to learn.

Yes, they might be but out of desperation and luck they can still do it with those methods that you have said.

That's the problem that most newbies did, they are not aware of who's the receiver of their emails and what's next after signing up. They don't know that it's being passed to another people or group that earns or benefits with those emails

Great reminders for the newbies ,p
Other people with more experienced in this space are more aware of these things and cannot be fooled easily with the style that you've said.
