The campaign profile link you shared looks like a phishing site, I click but it won't load.
Regarding email you received, you know what is scam or not, so disregard the scam emails because we have plenty of that in crypto space.
You might have use your email somewhere else, if you are participating an ICO, use a disposable email or email that you don't use for your personal consumption.

If someone gave his/her private key, then the hacker will get all of his/her coins.
Hence, you need to differentiate ETH address and Private key.
That was pretty obvious they wanted to fool weak people especially in newbies, that's why I really hate of being airdrop hunter aside from multi-task they gather your personal data before you've been qualified and asking private key is totally shady activity.Hence, you need to differentiate ETH address and Private key.
Airdrop hunter is prone from hacking and scammed incidents, OP if I were you join an only legit project or those well-known project that manage by a reputable manager.
18 Days ago, I Got an email and the email address was not real. I have some proof and look at those pictures link down below. Clearly, you will find out that they are scammers. There email Address is not the same and They even ask my private key if I would share my private key then they would have the full power to control my Wallet. So be careful from the attackers.
Some campaigns will also ask about your "Private address" or "ETH KEY"
this term is used to confuse newbies between ETH address and Private Key.

This is one of the things that happens when you subscribe to any type of airdrops and also those bounties that do not hide your email on the spreadsheet. As a rule of thumb, ignore emails that offer airdrops or other incentives.
Did you give them your email address? On this forum email addresses are hidden so they had to get it somewhere else.
Some bounty requires a user to register with their email address and they showed it publicly on the spreadsheet. I got a lot of crappy emails after one of the emails that I used in the past days got published on a bounty spreadsheet. Pretty sure they're scraping user data from there.
Other than that scammer can get the list from buying or simply scanning through various databases. It might takes time but if they're serious it can work.

OP performs a lot of social reporting, and likely subscribes to airdrops often. When you do these things, you provide your email willingly, thinking you are getting something for free. Sometimes it’s like that, but others are fake airdrops, that collect people’s personal data such as the email to perform scams such as the one displayed the OP. Novice people may easily fall for it, since they may not be aware of the importance of not providing your private keys (although they are called private for a reason).Concerning Emails on the forum, by default the profile provided email is hidden, but some people untick the “Hide email address from public”. I make it around 55K accounts that are currently showing their email, and they are not all just old accounts: around 19K were created in 2018 (I don’t have 2019 data).
This is probably one of the most obvious scams in the cryptocurrency space, ever. They're pretty much asking you to hand over your funds. Unfortunately, since scammers are still doing this, it looks like this scam is still working.

My guess is that it's from an airdrop site.

This actually usually happens in some airdrop and targeted newbies that isn't familiar on it.
They even ask my private key if I would share my private key then they would have the full power to control my Wallet.
This is ridiculous yet funny, they're now being straight forward in their motives and really thinks that there's a lot of stupid people.Quote
So be careful from the attackers.
I really don't join airdrops especially it's worthless nowadays.
