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.

This kind of scam attempts is not new though, there have been very rampant years ago, you can go in this thread to check out other scams too:  Scam Accusations.

As a rule, "if it's too good to be true, it's probably is".

The problem with many newbie in this market though is that they think that they can get rich very quickly and when they see this kind of enticing offer, they quickly bite on it and become greedy. Let this be a lesson to your friend and others as well so that you won't be a victim.

It's no wonder that most people get hit by crypto scams because they are tempted by the value of the assets sent to their email. They couldn't hold back their greed and in the end they fell into the scammers' trap. Even though this is very easy to prevent, by ignoring emails from unknown sources and don't be tempted by "honey" tricks which are usually very tempting. Therefore, now it is very important to be vigilant and learn about security on the internet, so that we can avoid scams like this.

Wow, 0.5+ BTC is definitely tempting, anyone would find it hard to resist, but common sense plays an important role in controlling greed. 0.5+ BTC is a huge amount of exchanged to $, it is impossible for a person or a company to give 0.5+ for free without any connection whatsoever.
A clear mindset is needed when addressing a trap like this. Remember, there are no big rewards free, especially when you receive notifications via email instructing you to open the link and go through the whole process. Scammers always offer something with an unreasonable amount, oddly enough, some still fall into their trap.

This is obviously a scam without being told by anyone, even a newbie should be able to know that this is unreal, what the scammers did wrong is using 0.5BTC which is too high for the easy giveaway, I know greedy idiots can still fall for this but 0.5BTC is thousands of dollars, without doing a thing.

Furthermore, who still checks their mailbox for unwelcome emails?

Scam and spam emails don't always go straight to your Spam folder, but honestly, there's no reason to open any email you are not expecting, that's the easiest way to get phished.
