What a stupid question!

Scams are indeed rampant.

Barely a week goes by without some shyster attempting to scam me by phone call or email. Some of them are so obvious that you'd need the IQ of a baboon to be taken in, but others are more clever. I never respond to or open anything if I have the slightest doubt.

An example of one of the cleverer ones include beauties like this....

Either knowing that I have an amazon account or just taking a punt on the fact that I might do as many do, I received an email telling me that my Amazon Prime subscription was about to be renewed automatically unless I contacted them on a certain  phone number. Now I had never actually subscribed to Amazon Prime so suspected a scam, but it is difficult to be certain that Amazon themselves might not be the ones in error and about to charge you. The correct thing to do of course if you have such a doubt is to contact Amazon directly through the official channels, but it is such doubts that are played on, and some might be daft enough to respond to the details provided.

Would you like to be a Bitcoin millionaire? Here is the formula.

This was an email just received. Now I have been trained well and just binned it but I admit that with BJ threatening to bump up my survival expenses until they choke me it was tempting. What would I have learned if against all advice I had opened it? Oh well...

AS with all such things Toots why would anyone want to share a genuine profit with anyone and not simply want to keep the profit and the system that generates it to themselves.
If anyone offers to share such with you, it simply means that you are the profit and that you will be mined for every penny they can squeeze....

In common with everyone else who opens these type of email NOW you would have learned the world is full of scammers and little else. Had you been mining the stuff fifteen ? years ago you might be wealthy now (if you had not binned the hard drive) but today machines powered by hydroelectric dams do the "mining" so you lose the arm wrestle for the rewards, and "trading" apps react to changes ten times faster than you. In all aspects it is a mugs game
