Honestly, these types of phishing scams are very common.

And this includes not just phishing emails, but also phishing accounts/impersonators on social media platforms as well. But one common thing across them all is that they are promising some form of monetary reward, which either requires you to send coins to their address to access a higher reward, or to click on a link to a phishing exchange site and enter in login details.

Most people are already aware of this type of scam due to how widespread it is, but obviously, people still get scammed. When you receive any correspondence to your email, use your common sense. If the offer is unrealistic, then don't take it up.

Best we secure our major emails used to register on exchanges by avoid using same emails on randomly. Such phishing sites are getting rampant recently and investors need to weary as well.

I have lots of e-mails that I use for registration purposes only but somehow they get to my 3 main e-mails too. I feel like my e-mail being very old was somehow added to some bulk e-mails database.

Most likely. It's almost impossible to trace down to the exact site that leaked your info, though.


They are common because many still think it can't happen to them, they are too relaxed and relay on their security measures too much, measures that don't really matter for the attackers, they can still get to your info, especially to the ones that don't have 2FA activated for their wallets/accounts.
Only noobs would fall into these very basic kind of scamming. Sad to say this thing is already very very common but there are still several people who do fall out for this scam.Its way too obvious even
email providers do already flagged out that it is suspicious then why would consider to continue if you can see those alerts? and just only asking out yourself why you have received such email even you are not a Binance user then you should already think twice. Email can be easily accumulate and leaked which can be sold of to hackers/scammers so its better to neglect and dont ever try to read or open up those kind of links
if you arent sure on what you are doing.
