I mean yeah this ain't really too surprising to me. Since I took interest in bitcoin and signed up on some websites and stuff - or maybe its just due to my search data being used/sold in a particular way, I found myself getting more and more spam emails that were related to crypto in some way or the other. Invest in this, buy that, click here to get x BTC! I mean its obvious that this is going to happen - specially with a decentralized currency like BTC - which people still know pretty less about and aren't completely aware of how it works. Hell, you see these kind of scams with fiat/netbanking transactions - ofc its going to happen for crypto aswell.

But I'm afraid that NFTs have actually made this worse than it ever needed to be, and ofcourse the ICO for shitcoins - which people blindly invest in without looking into their history and then the project just up and vanishes. Its pretty much our duty to educate others/who are new to crypto about these to make them less gullible to these scams.

Only awareness can protect us from being scammed. People themselves should be able to identify scams and avoid it.

If you analyze how people learn from their mistakes, a lot falls into place. Most of the time, they just don't learn. As an example, I even recently watched a video on the channel of the Amarkets broker about the safety of my finances on the network. But despite the fairly well-described information, people still often make mistakes and lose money.
