Such Phishing emails have drastically increased in the last couple of months. The very recent event is that Trezor's 3rd party support center account was compromised and the hacker now has approximately 66000 Trezor users' email and their nicknames. The users started receiving fake emails from the hackers and are trying to scam the Trezor users. Some of the forum members also received such emails from the hackers.
So, where ever you have used your email, either their email list was compromised or they sold user emails on the black market. Also, you may have published your email on the internet. It's scary that hackers are getting access to such important platforms like the Wallet support center.
BTW, Please resize the images, bro. It does not look good at all.
Topic: [WARNING] Spam Emails pretending to be OpenSea (Read 163 times)
This is an effective scamming technique, as scammers can easily lure people who are unfamiliar with Opensea into this trap. Scammers are currently trying to scam on a larger scale targeting crypto users on all popular platforms. The data of crypto users are now easily obtained by scammers from various platforms, because everyone promises that our data is safe but in reality no one cares enough about it, so hackers are easily able to get the data of crypto users. Thank you for posting this to alert the community.
That is obviously a scam mail sent to you op. Of lately scammers have been sending mails across looking for who to ripp off their hard earned resources. I received mails of that nature as well but I never bothered but rather I delete them immediately so I do not have anything to do with them or mistakenly click on them for any unknown reason. One just have to be careful these days as scammers are on the lose. As at last year, it was nft sent by these scammers claiming it to be e from opensea which is not true and if you are not familiar with the space you will be tempted to transact directly from your wallet where it is giving them access. I believe this post would be of good importance to the newbies here to see and read so as not to fall victim for their gimmicks.
I also get spam emails like this, I don't know where the person got my email address, even though when I checked my Open Sea account, there wasn't a single offer, for anyone, don't ever click on a link that you're not sure is legit in our email, it's definitely a virus link or something similar, just ignore it and report that it's a scam
They are probably targeting people who are not regulars of the OpenSea platform and also the greedy one whose judgement can easily be blinded by the fake 0.79 WETH offer. The fact the Opensea can also collect email addresses worsens the problem.
Of course their targets are people like that, I have seen many cases of link fraud like this, it's really sad that things like this don't stop, instead they continue to use new methods 
Thanks, it seems that these scammers already have the idea that you've got some NFTs. Do you remember where you've likely have input your email related to your NFTs? or they just assume that the victim has NFTs and they're just trying their luck with it?
I just got some basic NFTs but I think they got my email from a database hack or something and they probably spammed their email hoping for a victim or something. It's really desperate move from them but I think they are still getting their money from gullible people.Many breached emails, including some of ours, might have been sold underground to this hackers or criminals.
Most likely that it will never stop, they keep on passing these breached emails to the dark market and recycled for various typical scams being done by the new owner of such database. Actually not new owner but just additional owner where they'll send batches of phishing and scam emails and waiting for a few to fall for it.

It's really desperate move from them but I think they are still getting their money from gullible people.Perhaps the OP is actively participating in giveaways and airdrops that are NFT-related, and scammers concluded that he would list these NFTs on Opensea based on the email he provided in one of the forms or platforms. As for me, I would recognize it as a scam even without doing any research, as I am not interested in NFTs and do not have any active listings on Opensea.
I don't really participate in active airdrops or giveaways. I'm even surprised that I received that kind of email. I think it's really from a database hack or something. Maybe most of us here receive spam emails because we've previously tried various websites and platforms. It's even worse if the websites where we have accounts get hacked, and hackers obtain our information such as email addresses. Even though I check my emails every day, I'm always careful about the emails I open, and I only open those that I expect. It's important to stay vigilant and double-check the authenticity of such communications, especially when dealing with valuable assets.
I believe it's okay to open or read the gist but never open links or something. I hope no one gets scammed with this. https://haveibeenpwned.com/

Lately I've seen a lot of fake emails from various scams including this one, I've never interacted with Opensea if I don't have any NFTs in my wallet, except I've only seen dozens of phishing sites spread on X.com. Maybe it's because my twitter account is not blue checked so I can't filter out fake ads.
Where do scammers get these emails from? I believe there might be a data leak so the scammers know a lot of emails to send fake messages with airdrop/giveaway or NFT offers like the OP.

thanks for the warning
out of curiosity I checked the fake website that was shown in the image and it is very different on how it works compared to the actual opensea.com, what I mean by this is when you visit the fake website you are immediately greeted to connect your wallet unlike on the real website where you can browse without logging in or connecting your wallet. I wonder if people have actually fallen victim to this scam, I mean, anyone who has visited opensea.com let alone tried to sell an NFT there would know the difference between the fake and the original.

Yes, the email is different from how the actual Opensea email works but you understand this because you're familiar with the Opensea and how genuine the company email host shows when checking the sender.out of curiosity I checked the fake website that was shown in the image and it is very different on how it works compared to the actual opensea.com, what I mean by this is when you visit the fake website you are immediately greeted to connect your wallet unlike on the real website where you can browse without logging in or connecting your wallet.

However, the idea of the theft that sent the email was to attack newbies, and careless NFT enthusiasts. This is why it's important to be familiar with how things work in every ecosystem we participate in.

I agree with you. As shown in the screenshot I attached, you'll find a significant difference between the official domain and the phishing domain in terms of both the domain names and their main interfaces. Even on Opensea's official domain, you can access any collection without being forced to login or link your wallet, unlike with the phishing site that's only seven days old. Despite the ease of this scam operation, someone might hastily click and connect his wallet after being tempted by the fake offer of 0.79 WETH presented by the scammer in the deceptive message.

People who will fall victim to this scam are those who believe there are still some sort of free airdrops or money on the internet, reading the caption on the mail, "Make sure you connect your wallet." This is like telling those who will fall victim to the fact that without connecting your wallet, you can't view the NFT, so those who are in a rush to get free money without thinking twice will connect their wallet there and end up getting it wiped out.
It is sad that many will not learn until they experience the hacking on themselves. With the bull run coming soon, we anticipate that more of these scam emails and phishings will come not just to these people that are new to this but they might even try their luck with the old ones as long as they gathered these emails that they've got somewhere else. This is why it is important to have spare emails for specific things and task that we do.

People will fall victim to the scam, although we who are used to crypto scams can easily see the difference aside from the by-force wallet connection they want to false people. If you look at the URL alone, you can tell it is not from the real OpenSea.People who will fall victim to this scam are those who believe there are still some sort of free airdrops or money on the internet, reading the caption on the mail, "Make sure you connect your wallet."
