Email scams can be very elaborate, and so can social media scams as well. Corporate email can often be faked, especially if a company didn't protect themselves specifically against it, so posing as an exchange asking you for updating some info or whatever is possible. YouTube accounts with fake giveaways might have a tick (verified status) next to the name of the channel, and sometimes real Twitter accounts get hacked and promote crypto scams.

not just some mate but many, because in this kind of moment that bitcoin is growing strong scammers thought that they can easily fool people by promising something to earn.
exactly , scams and hack comes from the links and  if we are lazy checking then we will be scammed.

The number of Airdrops increased significantly, and the social media influencers also promoted those projects. There will be some scam projects as well, and you should be careful with those projects. Always make sure you trust the source before you click on any links. People connect their meta mask wallet and other wallets to those websites to be eligible for airdrops, and they think that the website won't be able to drain my wallet if I do not approve it from my metamask. But the truth is, hackers are able to drain your wallet no matter you approve it or not. They will drain your wallet. So, It is advised to use cold wallet to store your holdings.

Yes, it attracts a lot of scammers when Bitcoin is setting a new ATH. So you need to be careful at all times, scammers are everywhere and they attack silently. We really need to more vigilant most especially to those who wants to start to invest in here or for newbies. Newbies are their favorite target, that is their easy target of scam. I remember my college friend she's been scammed, scammers using bitcoin name but the system is like pyramiding and I said that, that's not how bitcoin works and she didn't listen to me and she lost her money. So for newbies, please be careful if you feel something wrong just ignore it, and stay sharp.

Scammers will not remain silent when the Bitcoin market begins to grow rapidly, the drastic increase experienced by Bitcoin means that fraud against Bitcoin users also increases drastically. Each fraud mode has different characteristics, usually the most commonly used by scammers is using Phishing links sent via email or messages via other media. It is very necessary to anticipate early by recognizing the types of fraud in crypto to avoid all types of fraud by adding a layer of security to stored assets. Experienced Bitcoin investors always prioritize asset safety by storing them in the safest place that is difficult for fraudsters to reach, usually they use a Cold Wallet or Hardware Wallet because this type of Wallet has a high security system because it is separate from the internet network or Offline.

People always forget that part too, porn can definitely be a problem for someone that's trying to store their bitcoins safely as it's an allure to people to browse those adult websites without any care and they don't know that the more sketchy it is, the more likely that it's going to be riddled with suspicious links and adwares that might carry some problematic viruses and Trojans.

It's also worth noting that if you want a good browser that doesn't give you pop up ads, your best bet would probably be using Brave or DuckDuckGo since they're really good at keeping you browse safely. It's also helpful in preventing clicking on phishing links if you've got a work email that's not connected to your home devices and only used in your work, that way, you can easily filter out stuff that needs filtering, another thing that you can also do is remove junkmails in your inbox so it's much cleaner and unsubscribe to newsletters so they don't send you emails that you have no use for.

It's always good to reinforce this idea that the more value there is, the more people want to steal it... therefore, no porn, suspicious links, random emails... preferably have a clean and exclusive computer or notebook just for moving coins.

Caution and safety are never an exaggeration

If you can dispose that email where you've been receiving constantly scam and phishing attempts that's much better. Because it is not going to stop once your email has been on the hands and database of these scammers. They'll keep sending you attempts everyday until they get tired and not just that, if they pass on your email or their database to another scammer, they'll just rinse and repeat the process and that's why we've been receiving spam emails from these unknown people. Once your email has been exposed and recorded by these people, you'll always see them on your inbox. That's why it's best to separate your personal email, your crypto email and other stuff that you with such registrations.

Scammers are aiming for crypto right now since it is making a noise due to Bitcoin hitting a new ATH.
There would be so many newbies who would surely be a victim of those scammers, so many fake online traders who would try to guide them or investment schemes.
I heard one of my co-worker talking about investing in a trader he met online and told him that most of those traders are fake and he would just get scammed if he invest on it, then after few days he did confirm that it was a scam and thank me for telling him about it.

Yes they will try their best to get access to your coins and not only bitcoin but every coin will be beneficial for them if they get access towards it. Now it is the responsibility of holders that they should keep their coins secretly in safe place from where hackers will be unable to steal your coins.

Some people always clicks on random links because they are assuming that they will allow them a reward but actually they are hackers who are just in struggle to get access to your holdings. So it is important that avoid some sort of links that are not for your use.

Not only bitcoin owners are susceptible to the thirst for profit, but also hunters for the contents of wallets of bitcoin owners. There is nothing extraordinary in their activation.

This is a hot time - a gold bitcoin rush.

As has always been the case, the most vulnerable point in the safety of bitcoin is the owner himself. Owners will always be under the vector of scammer attacks. Therefore, must always be alert and not be careless with bitcoin.

The saddest thing is that some owners will be targets, having made a mistake and not paying due attention to the issue of safety and security of bitcoin. Even hot wallets can be relatively safe to use. For example, storing these wallets on a separate laptop, dedicated only for working with bitcoin.

Forewarned means protected.

As the prices of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin rise, fraudulent schemes become more prevalent. I believe that during this period, it is crucial to exercise caution and adhere to basic internet safety rules. It's important to be vigilant, avoid disclosing confidential information, and use secure methods for storing cryptocurrencies. Warnings about potential fraudulent schemes should be taken seriously, and precautions should be taken to protect one's assets.

Your observation is very correct. You are doing right thing by warning users but still there will be many who will fall for these scams. This is because majority of people are greedy in nature.

Not only phishing mails will increase, there will be new coins coming as well. Most of these new coins will be scams and attempt to fool them with false promotions.

Though there is nothing wrong in that, I wonder how can one stay unaware of Bitcoin and invest in all other cryptocurrencies but ignore Bitcoin for so many years when they could see what it could provide in all the cycles we have been through. If one can see Bitcoin hitting $100k, and getting back to $20k in the bear market and still doesn't buy for the next bull run, he shouldn't be considered sane in my opinion.
I know there are a lot of people that haven't made any investment in Bitcoin, but those are people that maybe don't know about it, they must have heard about an altcoin, invested in it and that is how they joined the industry.

The problem is that only long-time and experienced market participants know clearly about these types of scams. But newbies are the main target of scammers and inexperienced newbies, so falling into this trap is inevitable.

The goal of all of us entering the market is to make as much money as possible and as easily as possible, and scammers understand that mentality. They will launch thousands of high-profit promotions, how can newbies avoid them without the knowledge?

Like those of us who have participated in the market through 1 or 2 bull seasons, is anyone proud or guaranteed that they have never lost money or losses because of the high profit advertisements of altcoin projects? To be able to grow up, we need to have our own lessons, consider them as lessons, not as things that make us fall.

Nothing happens if we ignore these emails, we are already aware of their purpose.
For newcomers and those who are just about to start, better to be more careful and it is best not to deal with strangers, especially for emails that address us to exchanges. If we are going to invest make sure that we are using the right site and only reputable exchange and never make use of this exchange wallet as a storage wallet but rather use an appropriate one.

Scammers will fail if we know how to protect ourselves from them but if we make ourselves totally ignorant about the current situation, not too far from falling into their hands and tricks.

This is a season that beginners needs to be very careful, especially those that don't have the opportunity to invest in bitcoin. Seeing the way the price of bitcoin is going up some beginners can be so desperate to get bitcoin  and scammers can also use the means in deceive people by giving bitcoin, and still trick them to collect money as much as they will be able to gain.
