How can you be "mercilessly scammed" by someone,if you didn't send him any crypto coins or money?
You are not scammed,you are just spammed.Your thread title is misleading,so you should change it.
I keep receiving such spam messages,but on Discord,not via email.
I wonder how the spammers got your email address.Did you submit your email on some shady crypto website or platform?
Simply mark those emails as SPAM and ignore them.I don't see a reason why you should create a topic on the forum and start whining about such small problem.
Spammers getting your email address doesn't require using your email on a 'shady crypto website or platform'. 

Yahoo alone has given up more than half a billion.

For bitcoin specific emails, if you polled a majority of bitcoin users, they'd probably tell you in 2011 that MtGox was the most reputable exchange. Someone managed to yoink the email list & then it was distributed to the public. 

Despite that, in 2013 & early 2014 it handled 60-70% of exchange activity. It also did some fancy price manipulation ... or maybe that's "alleged", unsure if it was ever proven. 

re; "I don't see a reason why you should create a topic on the forum and start whining about such small problem." ...   yah, I agree w/ you there.
