I guess the swindler was just taking advantage of the situation. The fact that has happened lately is that Metamask is experiencing transaction disruptions due to problems with their technical partners. While this incident will not bother users globally, for noobs it will trigger their own skepticism so that if they are careless they will follow the instructions of this fake emails.

These fuckers thought that metamask is bullshit and stupid. Beginners gonna be confuse with this. It sound so real, so better yet we must spread the news about this, but if they are wise enough and indeed paying attention when they created their wallet, is no emails used in the process then they could avoid this.

Probably they were thinking its legit but emails got received by this most likely are airdropper with leaked email used in the past.

There's no way metamask would know our email addresses as they are non custodial wallet. It doesn’t require us an email address when we create wallet with them. Therefore, it's pretty easy to understand that it's a trick to rip off the noobs; & they are falling into the trap.
I have seen this earlier in twitter tonight. Someone was saying something like metamask will go public LOL & some other noobs were asking questions based on that. It's quite surprising that they never do their own analysis before falling into the trap.

You are correct, there is no way they can have access to our email address, Nobody provided email address when creating wallet address, pls don't try and connect your wallet to avoid lost of fund. Metamask will not contact you in anyway and also meta mask will not ask anybody to complete KYC. We just have to be very careful most expecially the newbies that are just joining crypto because they are the once that can be easily tricked.

"We are continuing to receive reports of email phishing campaigns asking users to "verify" their wallet to comply with KYC regulations, along with other types of "verification mandates".  These emails are SCAMS! MetaMask wallets are NOT ASSOCIATED with user email addresses!"
