I thought that every e-mail user and especially the crypto enthusiast knows that 99.9% of emails coming from strangers to his or her email box are fraudulent. It's very strange that you still believe in spam mailings in 2020.

I never trust personal emails that I never opt to subscribe, it's bad marketing and unethical, that is why Gmail is flagging these kinds of mass email services, I never bother to read the whole content I just move it to spam if it landed in my main folder and I never read anything that is on my spam unless I expect email coming from sites that I trust.

I am a little bit curious that how they were able to get your email address in the first place?
Rather if you did not share your email address to anyone especially those some cryptocurrency airdrops that required an email address to participate or subscribing to some newsletter of cryptocurrency news providers or any.
Because for me, this kind of email becomes normal, I also received this kind of email.

I wanted to visit the scammer's website to download the app and scan it (despite being 100% sure it's a malware) but it seems to be down. Not sure whether it was temporarily disabled or someone reported it and was removed for good!

It is good that they are already down to prevent naive users or newbies from being a victim of this scam site. If only people that found a specific site a scam will report it immediately, we will lessen these scammers from further screwing users of their dirty tactics.

From the email used by the scammer, it looks like airdrops is not his only scamming technique. I wouldn't be surprised if he sends you another email asking you to download a trading bot Wink

I received this message from an email address which starts with "ntradingbot" the message contain Stellar airdrop announcement
Note : I covered the scammer email in other not to break the doxing rules stated by Theymos.

I did some few background check and I find out that 35% of the words wrote by the scammer behind the airdrop are draft from previous Stellar airdrop organized by blockchain.com which is clarified in the below image.

Went through their site, they didn't request for any fund but they ask people to download a Stellar rar app which is not from a trusted source and purposely to steal from people.
