Yep, I notice that too, since the beginning of the bull-run the amount of scam email was increasing. But in my case the most annoying one is Social Media DMs and tag, basically I am now unfollowing almost all of Bitcoin and Crypto related news account, thats might be the reason those scammers are sending me DM.

But I haven't found any new MO, all of them are using similar narrative with giveaway or airdrop with phising link, nothing fancy, at least for now.

As a notice, you have to know that these scammers are also individuals around us who may look normal during the day, but at night take up a second identity, or who look normal without a computer or a mobile phone from where they scam people. You have to be generally careful with people both online and offline. There was a story the other day shared by one of our forum members about how he saw a close family member trying to check his phone

These scammers online are sometimes our close friends, family offline. If they have no remorse stealing from people online, that evil heart will grow colder and one day will have no remorse if he decides to steal from you.

Be as vigilant offline as you are online.

Thanks for the additional tips, to add to the one that the OP emphasized on, saying that we should try as much as possible not to click unfamiliar sites, all these points must always be emphasized, no matter how many times we've heard them before. Because of the many scams and hacks in the crypto space, crypto holders must take every necessary precautions to protect their coins, especially now that we're entering bull run, a lot of scammers will be enticing novice investors to scan projects. My addition will be to see every unfamiliar links that is sent to you as a potential scam, even if they were sent to you by your loved ones, because they might have ignorantly forwarded it to you as received.

Great advice, and yes. Do not click on any link in your emails and never open and try to figure out the "Spam" Folder. It's literally spam.
And one more thing, do not open any PDF file you receive from someone. It can be malicious too and can empty your wallets (mostly Metamask and extensions).
So take care of your funds, and keep growing. <3

Yes you are right, Almost after every 2 daya I receiving mail from fake binance to update your app. App is apk files and I strongly believe that it's contains malware which could drain my wallet balance or at least access to my cloud storage. I have not cold storage yet for holding as I am a day trader and I am using Cex for trading but I have staked more than 1k$ for staking ETH in Metamask and 500$ in Keplr wallet. I have stored my phrases in hard copy because whenever scammers got access to your PC,they will steal phrase from your cloud storage. Scammers are active Telegram, Twitter and mail and mostly airdrop hunters are being scammed.

I've seen the same upsurge you're talking about.

While I receive the occasional "you got 1 bitcoin on this certain exchange, you need to verify your account and register to claim it" or something along those lines, as well as the Nigerian Prince email (LOL), I'm not quite sure if it's just me being very particular with the crypto scams during these instances or if they definitely increased in strength and numbers but the bottomline is, hackers are bound to get massive bags during this time period cause we got a lot of newbies who are just so ignorant about the crypto world, or people who are easily blinded by the prospect of a large sum of money which is the very thing these scammers hook them with. Perhaps besides actually acquainting yourself with these scams, and building common sense of course, you might wanna master self-discipline and skepticism cause 9 times out of 10 that's what's going to save you from losing all your money in the crypto industry, where you're a single click away from losing all your shit.

Be smart, be skeptical, don't do stupid things, do all of this and you're sure to never lose a single dime out of your cold and hard wallet, as easy as that.

To be fair, scammers are always out there trying to get to your coins. But this season of bullish trend and halving fast approaching, scammers are becoming more smart with their tactics. I have seen some scammers even creating new projects just to get you interested. New investors will surely be attracted to those projects with really huge promises but we must all stay vigilant. This is not the time to be relaxed and careless.

The biggest scammers are on ethereum, NFTs and other altcoins that is where 99.9999% of the crypto scams are taking place.

To avoid these scams stay away from altcoins and NFTs especially ethereum.

Sadly, Bitcoin is one of the best perimeters to be around as a Scammer.  There are only few things as hyped as a Bitcoin Bull Run is and the amount of hype is incredible.  Every body is so desperate to make money EXTREMELY quick during a Bull Run hype that they easily fall for traps.  Particularly when all Shit Coins pump hundreds of percentage in weeks and some body comes with an offer to double your Bitcoin for free.  Seems legit to some people, silly as it sounds.

So it is not only the Bitcoin price that attracts Scammers.  In fact.  I would argue the price is barely a motivation for them to push more Scams.

Instead.  The hype brings many more potential victims and to them Bitcoin is a much safer way of scamming than requesting people to send you money to your PayPal so you can double it.  You would get caught much easier that way.  Furthermore.  Some Scammers are smart enough to scam you out but stupid enough to believe Bitcoin is Anonymous.

Almost every Bitcoin Bull Run there was a HUGE hack on a large platform.  Wonder why.  This is why.  When every body is hyping Bitcoin up, a LOT of money is on Exchanges.  The jackpot is much bigger therefore for filthy Scammers!
