I don't see nothing unusual for emails. I am receiving 20-30 spam posts every day and they all end up in spam folder.
It is important to not open and not click such links, don't be tricked you will lose your funds. Change subject to scammers instead using word spammers.

I remember seeing scammers posting ETH address in Telegram and Slack to misled people to send funds. Another way is to spam plenty of messages in slack with discounted price to invest. This is the main reason why I am reluctant to use Slack nowadays.

Crypto itself has so much new things to learn kind of makes us vulnerable in so many ways. I seriously considered moving out of this crypto world but that would be like quitting which i felt bad about so started fighting this.
I think more people will come only when we can ensure ICO's can be done in a better and safer manner or create more awareness.

Today i happened to hear about what happened in APEX..the site was hacked and the NEO contribution address was changed to something else.

APEX team agreed their site was hacked and they have promised all those who sent their NEO will get their tokens
