To everyone out there , there has been a big rise in scams in the last few weeks with emails being sent out from people using a near identical email from companies doing airdrop and sending a link via email to a site that is near identical to my ether wallet. Everyone be careful and never type in your private key and always contact the company via website email anytime you arent certain... stay safe

The number of scammers remains the same. The fact that you've experienced an increase is directly related to the number of airdrops and bounty campaigns popping out. People responsible are making money by selling email databases and those end up in the hands of scammers, advertising agencies, hackers, and so on. I have never been targeted by phishing scams, advertising and such simply because I've never given my email to these people. If you really want to try them out, make sure o use a burner email.
