I don't know if any one have raised this alarm here. Avoid such mails they are all scam
I have been receiving this mail lately and I don't always give a f*ck to it because I don't have account with any platform neither am I expecting any form of payment from any one to any platform, so I total discard the message and trash them at the end even as they keep on coming in. Yesterday a friend of mine told me how he fell victim of the scam, he also got same email with a tempting amount 0.5+ BTC his greed could not let him let go off the mail he decided to open the link and undergo all their process, and the BTC moved from 0.5 to 1btc + which was worth about $38k according to the screenshots sent over to me when it was ready for withdrawal, he was as asked to make a payment of $64+ seeing the huge amount of money on the fake platform and his eagger to withdrawal 30k plus dollars he, made a move purchase Bitcoin from Binance and make deposit to their generated address. Since then it has been stories upon stories no payment received by him till now.

I don't know if any one have raised this alarm here. everyday new scam sites are made and advertised, and many members here raise alarm like that. Avoid such mails they are all scam yes, I avoid I have been receiving this mail lately and I don't always give a f*ck to it because I don't have account with any platform neither am I expecting any form of payment from any one to any platform, so I total discard the message and trash them at the end even as they keep on coming in. this type of mails are sent to me 100's, because i given my emails to too many PTC sites and some scamy sites, if you use your email at trusted places then you don't get that type of messages especially crypto related sites, (some small sites sell our email and data for their profit, they are small sites so it's obvious to make some money, not every small site, but some and don't just ignore and delete their emails, you can see at bottom of that email, their will be a "unsubscribe" button, you can press that you will never get emails from that site. Yesterday a friend of mine told me how he fell victim of the scam, he also got same email with a tempting amount 0.5+ BTC his greed could not let him let go off the mail he decided to open the link and undergo all their process, and the BTC moved from 0.5 to 1btc + which was worth about $38k according to the screenshots sent over to me when it was ready for withdrawal, he was as asked to make a payment of $64+ seeing the huge amount of money on the fake platform and his eagger to withdrawal 30k plus dollars he, made a move purchase Bitcoin from Binance and make deposit to their generated address. Since then it has been stories upon stories no payment received by him till now. mostly new users are get trapped in scams, it's common sense no one will going to pay you crypto or money for free, and education is important, you can tell your friend to join bitcointalk forum, he will learn many things and learn to how to detect scams.

Each time you are browsing on Chrome, some sites would want you to accept or agree to their cookies before you can be allowed to browse their site. Most of these sites use the avenue of agreeing to their cookies to collect our information, such as our email, which they then begin to send overwhelming scam emails. The thing to do to avoid such scam are: - On any website that is not trusted, don't interact with your email on the site.
- Don't sign up for the newsletter of any website that you are not sure is reputable.
- Don't attend to emails or links in emails that you are not expected to receive.
- black list any unexpected emails you receive

Pretty common and low effort scam but of course, someone out there will fall for it. However, I'm not entirely sorry for your friend as this means they were trying to claim someone else's money...
In any case, email addresses gets passed around a lot hence it's inevitable to not get a couple of scam emails in one of your mail boxes. I suggest keeping your email addresses private as much as possible and compartmentalize - create multiple email addresses to segregate important stuff to non important stuff. They will not solve the problem entirely but it does a good job at minimizing the damage.

Usually that type of email goes to the spam folder and you're unlikely to click the link because they're unclickable. But it's sad to see that there are still some people that fall for it.
That's what lack of awareness does. We just need to think of it that no free money will given away if that's a lot in projection. Even if you try to remember how you've won and got that such amount from other people, don't fall for it.
I just ignore these type of emails.

I guess the amount of newbies and relatively new members informing the public of bitcoin scams consequently increase in this forum everytime bitcoin rises in price yeah? Couldn't help but notice it coz I've been seeing posts like these a few too many these past few days. But I digress. Rule of thumb, if it says anything from this list - Get bitcoin for free
- bitcoin faucet
- Free bitcoin
- Earn bitcoin through surveys
- Earn bitcoin
And something along these lines, stay away from them. They are most likely out to scam and steal money from you, so stay away.

Been receiving the same email over and over. I just ignored it because I didn't expect to receive anything as well. After 3 times of sending emails to me with different amounts of BTC, I already know it was a scam. A newbie with greed would fall for it, especially with the expectation of $38k thinking what is $64 when you receive such an amount.
Felt sorry for him not receiving anything. Lesson learned that the internet is full of scammers. $64 could have been saved if he talked to OP first.

This should serve as an example to those newbies out there who are still contemplating putting their money into a random website that has promised to give them a huge sum of money for free. Note that there are no free money here on the Internet, and if a service promise to give you money for free that's a sign that you should rum far away from it.
I think you should educate your friend more on how to avoid phishing and also how to be conscious of his/her privacy and security online. I'm sure if your friend had known about phishing he could have been more skeptical and his $60+ would still be in his wallet.
P.s. I think this thread should be moved to beginners and help board.

I think it's a good idea to use separate emails for Bitcoin activity compared with the rest of your emailing... This makes it very easy to see what something is a scam immediately. I have to say though, I've been in Bitcoin for a long time and I've never had a single reason to respond to an email with a Bitcoin payment ever. I can't even imagine the circumstance that would make me receive an email and think to myself that I need to click a link and then send BTC. The ease at which crypto can be scammed and the impossibilities of recovering it are one of the biggest challenges that onboarding new users will face.

I get those mails at least once per week, it would be kind of annoying if they were not sent to the spam tray as soon as they arrive. To be honest, I am not even sure who would fall for such an obvious scam. At this point it is just matter of hitting the "delete spam" bottom without reading the email. I have also received those stupid extortion emails, asking for Bitcoin in exchange of not distributing embarrassing information about me, even though such information does not exist. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)

This is a very clear scam that he would have avoided it if he was a smart guy. Op thanks you for the information. This will help plenty people who received different emails from unknown sources. Your friend would not learn from this act because the buddy is greedy and he wants to be rich at all cost. If not that screenshot is clearly stated that he should deposit money to his account, as how? Repeated emails to your mail box is definitely a scam or Spammers so you just have ignore it and if possible unsubscribe from the channels then everything will be normal. Op the only thing you will do to safe this your friend from such again is to advise him with warning. I'd not he will still fall again from another method because those scammers are wiser has the serpent.

I do get mails like this; safety is one thing all of us in the crypto community should always be conscious of. If your friend was fully into crypto, there should have been about 40–80% chances that he could have sensed out that such an email can only be a scam. There are lots of scammers out there who have different kinds of targeted victims, and this kind of scam focuses on those who are newbies to the crypto industries; they might definitely not know how to get them in person, but I believe they have specific places where they buy all the mails from and send a bug mail to all their obtained mails.
If your friend knew that there was nothing like free money in these crypto spaces, then he should have been conscious enough to avoid this kind of scam. Since he has already made his first payment, for which they charge him for withdrawal or whatever the title of the billing may be, if you happen to not hold him and educate him on how all this works, he will come up to you next time with another story of the next deposit made.

On a normal situation, I do not advise anybody even my friends I onboarded into the system to use their official email but a different mail when it comes to Crypto activities because there are lots of unwarranted emails flying up and down all coming from unknown destinations sent by scammers to gain access to peoples emails all in the name of cookies.
OP, this mail is not new to me neither is it a surprise though. I have long been dealing with this type of mail from different senders some claiming I won BTC some saying I won a BTC coupon and lots more. I do not waste my time anymore opening such mails. What I do is just a click mark as spam, block and delete that is what I do now.
As for the emails, it is not reasonable you use same email you use for Crypto activities for other official create a different mail for Crypto so as to protect yourself and your information from hackers.

Sorry, but who would believe 0.5BTC were deposited on their accounts without any apparent reasons? Money doesn't fall from the sky, even in crypto universe. Every emails which look too absurd to be true must be taken with suspicion by the receiver. Even emails claiming you had an account hacked on an exchange or bank must not be taken as true at first glance.
One hint I give you is to right click the button of the link presented on the email, then copy address of the link and ctrl + v on notepad or any other place, so you can see to where you would be redirected. Usually it's a strange URL, which has nothing to do with the service they claim to be representing.

The topic of this thread is better suited for the Scam Accusation board. Nevertheless, I frequently receive emails asking me to download items like private keys, but I ignore them because I am not interested in free money and simply delete spam messages regularly. If you have a desire for free money, you may become a target for scammers who obtain email data through hacking various cryptocurrency websites. They use such tactics to target crypto users. By controlling your greed for free money, you can also protect your funds.

@Dr.Bitcoin_Strange, @Potato Chips Are you aware of Salesq, kloser, growmeorganic, skrapp, kendo, getprospect and many others. All this tools are use to extract mails from popular sites like linkedln, minds, and any other websites they want. Those tools are specifically design for email marketing. Even with all the procedures you mentioned about scammers can still your mails providing that you use them to make registration on sites. Something they even go as far as buying those mails from places you use them for survey, spreadsheet registration and so on. In one way or the other we can still get all this mails their is no way which we can completely ignore them, even when you blacklist the first one they will still come up with another email and continue sending. The only things to do is to completely ignore the mail even when we receive them it's better off than way, but it's only few who know that those mails are truly scam will be able to resist such tempting offer. They say greed is one thing that push someone to be a victim of scam. Usually that type of email goes to the spam folder and you're unlikely to click the link because they're unclickable. But it's sad to see that there are still some people that fall for it.
Not all does, the ones I receive come directly into my inbox unread mails no kind of warning from gmail at all to identify it's a scam or something. Mails which goes into scam folders are those that's has been repeatedly reported as scam, which Gmail or any mail provider will now likely flag them as scam mail. And another thing there as well is that, the scammers are already aware that the mails might likely be sent to spam box so they use other means, like using an old gmail or any mail account which have been created for several years and has been active for long, using such old mails to send scam mails most of the times mail providers over look it because they are old account that's to say they don't expect old account to be use for such new generational scam.

We sometimes need to read about scams such as these in order to educate the readers about how to avoid such incidents in the future. This scam idea is not new and I don't fall for it.

I got such emails as this for several months, I completely ignored it knowing fully well its all scam, at some point, they started sending the emails every day, I had to block the address where the emails were coming from, they continued to sent it through another address, I continued to ignore until they eventually got tired and stopped sending the emails..
what am I saying in essence? you will never lose your money if you just allow them send the emails and not take action on it, My sincerely sorry to your friend for falling a victim to this, he actually did due to his greed, trying to reap where he did not sow, I believe he has learnt his lessons, and also that many coming to this thread would also learn from this and never fall victim to such a cheap scam strategy.

I don't know if any one have raised this alarm here.
Avoid such mails they are all scam
I have been receiving this mail lately and I don't always give a f*ck to it because I don't have account with any platform neither am I expecting any form of payment from any one to any platform, so I total discard the message and trash them at the end even as they keep on coming in.
You are getting the email because you have used your email to register on crypto-related platforms that verbatim sell their user email addresses or you participated in some airdrop. Yesterday a friend of mine told me how he fell victim of the scam, he also got same email with a tempting amount 0.5+ BTC his greed could not let him let go off the mail he decided to open the link and undergo all their process, and the BTC moved from 0.5 to 1btc + which was worth about $38k according to the screenshots sent over to me when it was ready for withdrawal, he was as asked to make a payment of $64+ seeing the huge amount of money on the fake platform and his eagger to withdrawal 30k plus dollars he, made a move purchase Bitcoin from Binance and make deposit to their generated address.
You ought to spank your friend's butt really bad. How could he believe there's a chance for him to get 0.5BTC he didn't work for out of the thin air? The strategy used to scam your friend is a Bitcoin bonus scam on another level.

I think it's a good idea to use separate emails for Bitcoin activity compared with the rest of your emailing
It truly is. You'll get to filter all of the activities that you're going to do for those emails and you'll get track those potential websites that are sharing their database or leaking it to those scammers. And that specific email will be clean from these type of email scammers/phishers. I guess everyone should start doing that for them to protect themselves and avoid these unnecessary emails that we're getting from wherever we have signed up.
