I have got so much scammed mails since I have started free bounty programs and still my email filled with many airdrops, some containing hacking link, some trying to steal your information, but I hardly open any mails as I found many instances where the malicious mails gone into hacking and stole your private keys from your computer.

They can only scam novices with this method. If you're still being scammed in this way, I think you should stay away from the crypto world or even from the realm of the internet.

I think that such a Scam can draw attention to either a child or an adult who knows only the basics of the Internet.All the rest I think are not that naive).Recently, more and more often I hear in the media about new fraudulent schemes and that surprisingly a lot of people take part in them voluntarily.When will people stop being so naive?

HODLing is an art, not just a word...
this is only another proof that all the information that you willingly gave to the ICOs you participated in has been already sold on the dark market possibly to multiple people and they have been abusing them ever since.
now you should think how much you betrayed your own privacy and safety by participating in these ICOs in first place! for most people it is just their email, bitcoin and ethereum address and thinks like that. for others who were more foolish it is their personal documents, drivers license, passport, social security number, and a ton of other things they willingly gave up because they lied and mentioned the word "KYC" Cheesy

Everyone that joins ICOs, bounties or airdrops might recently be receiving some emails purported to be from a project administrators informing you of that your earlier contact of the support has been escalated and you need to be a certain sum of bitcoin or ethereum in order to abade the problem otherwise, you lose your investment or earnings.

It is a scam. Beware!!!

Of course, it is a scam. Who falls for that?

There are way harder to understand scams. This one is like "hello i want to scam you, can you give me your money".

I haven't received that kind of message yet on so many ICO and airdrops I've promoted in the past, can you name those altcoins, any ICO that will do that can be tagged as a scam, we just have to ignore this and contact the team of the ICO that sent this, of course, they will deny this, they only target newbies.

This method is too obvious and it is not new at all. Be ready for even more hardly-thought scheme which you can't realize easily that you are aboit to be scammed.

This I believe is an old scamming method tbh, though personally I can't fall for such cheap scam. Anyone who falls for such need to go back and learn about the internet more. With the rate people talk and complain about certain scams is enough for others to learn from and be careful not to be a victim as well

There are a lot of people. In the market they do not yet have the information and want to make money. That's why they fall into this kind of trap.

Anyone can understand they are a scam. Everyone should block them in email and report them as spam! Every bitcointalk bounty and signature users receive such email almost every week. Because some lazy Bounty manager don't hide email and eth address from the spreadsheet and then scammer got people's email and they start to scam or spam with shitty airdrop and bounty email!

No. That was from another scammer. Somehow, the developer is trying to get the funds so they are selling the mail list gotten from the bounty, and its sold to the scammers. CMIIW. Classic.

Of course. Anyone who demands money from bounty hunters in any form should be considered fraudsters. There are certain cases in which we may be asked to provide assistance, however this should be on a voluntary basis and not be related to our earnings.
The fraudsters will continue to show their activity in this regard and we need to be very careful.

we must avoid something like that. And 1 more, when we submit our email to anything, make sure not use our primary wallet email. Like, we must split email which one that we use for projects and which one we use for primary wallet.

Scammers are smarter nowdays, they always have new and fresh methods to make people fall. No wonder they do something like what you have written here. That's why we need to be always aware and try not to trust anyone.

All of those scammers is damaging the reputation of crypto with their tricks and they keep making a new scam method to get more victims. I hope someday there is a project that focus on tracking these scammers and put them in jail forever.

Yes it is a scam ,you don't have to be warned about it because it doesn't sound right,how can you be asked to pay ETH or Btc to received your rewards for promoting there projects ? Either airdrops or bounties don't send any coins to anybody

"STAY IN THE DARK"
When someone have little bit of common sense then they won't fall for these scams.No one will ask for little amount of money to give huge amount back to us this is very silly form of scam attempt but the sad fact is still lot of people falling for that.
