Unfortunately, a new wave of Bitcoin-related scam emails has recently been unleashed (in every language available to the world!)
Many of these are presented as warnings of earnings or income from supposed investments in BTC.
The scammers send out these messages containing completely made-up, and therefore fake, information, trying to make their potential victims believe that they can collect significant amounts of money by following a certain procedure.
The procedure actually exists, but only allows money to be sent to the perpetrators. However, the earnings or proceeds obviously do not exist.
In fact, the fraudsters invite those who reply to these e-mails to send them money in order to unlock the funds, with the trick of asking for payment of an amount much lower than what they promise to collect. In this way, if the victim believes these lies, he or she is particularly attracted by the promises, so much so that he or she unfortunately has no qualms about giving his or her money to the fraudsters.
It is easy to recognise the pattern though: convincing the victim to send money to the scammer by telling lies that convince him to do so. The type of lies told may change, but in the end the mechanism is always the same.
In order to protect oneself against such attempts, it is sufficient to be able to verify that what is being told does not correspond to reality.
Watch out and mark them as spam! Do not fall victim to these emails.
