Another thing got me curious, how did they get your email address ? From the little time I have operated trust wallet you don’t really require an email to sign up there since it’s a non-custodial wallet so how did they send you an email?
That's the first thing I thought, too, because I've played around with many different wallets (Trust being one of them, and I'm not a fan) and I can't think of a single one that requires an e-mail address--and certainly Trust didn't.
What I'm thinking is that these dipshit scammers got their e-mail list dump from one of the big data breaches in the crypto space, maybe Ledger. Hell, maybe even bitcointalk if e-mail addresses were accessible. With so many of them, the chances are that there would be a decent number of recipients who use the Trust wallet, and it would only take a small number of suckers with large balances to make the scheme worthwhile.
But I wonder if anyone did fall for this shit. Sometimes I see various crypto subreddits in which people confess to getting scammed by methods like this one, but they aren't numerous as far as I can tell.
