It's the end of the year again,where the pressure of wanting to "flex" or look fulfilled for the year,while in reality the year might have not gone so well.
So many people look for get rich schemes with ridiculous percentage gain,this scammers know there's an increase desperation by people this period.
So they ride on your greed to make it quick and rip you off your hard earned funds.
It's imperative you take your time, know what you're getting into before venturing into it, remember all that glitters isn't gold. If it's too good too be true,my friend I can tell you for free, it's most likely to be too good to be true.
Stay safe my friend.
Indeed, all that shine is not gold, you are talking about phishing attacks and I agree with you that on events like Christmas, Halloween, etc. scammers will try to spread as many phishing links as they can. You might can receive an email from any airdrop that you might have joined a few times back or maybe not joined, but that email will have a Christmas theme and will be saying "You won this prize to claim it click on the link and verify it" etc.
These types of email scams are so common at Christmas and people are in emotion feeling so happy and ignorant that they mostly wear off the thoughts that there is a term scam and we have to avoid it. Scammers are utilizing this emotion of people, mostly of old people because they know this is the right time for grandparents to scam them, as most of the grandparents save money for their grandchild to buy them gifts but when they click on some link send them via email that if they buy this one product they will get 100% discount 50% discount, etc. And they fell for it.
