Firstly, why did I chose to talk about scammers? I don't have a blacklist!
Well, recently, I received an email that looked like this.

Please click this to see it.

This is obviously a scam, and PLEASE PLEASE don't fall for it.

Types of scams.

1. Phishing scam. This is when a person sends you a fake email that gains private info. Eg, passwords. Usually, the scammer will give you a fake link to a fake login and you will then login and give them your password!
2. Advance fee. Advance fee is a scam where people promise you rewards or benefits if you sent them some money. The email sent to me is a type of advance fee scam.
3. Goods scam. This is where someone gives you a really good deal. For example, brand new asus tablet for $300! This re dangerous scams.

How do I detect if it's a scam?

There are many ways to detect if it is a scam. Today, I will present to you some of the best methods. If you are still unsure whether anything is a scam, feel free to contact me as [email protected] or at steem.chat my steem.chat username is @jtfish.

1. Check the email of the sender. In my case, the email was sent by :

Coinbase_no_Reply_84kjsf78923tiqeyeoadjhv78963jsd987e3tghyar78tg79tg34t765290724ygjgb048r0fh204862io4y0rh723i07hi30r7hiy37h3907rhjwrh80w80rk@bistinvest.com

NO service will ever use a fake email like this. You have been warned....

1. Check the company website.
   When I searched for coinbase investment plans, nothing came out. Thus, I knew that this was fake.

2. English errors. Unprofessional emails are most likely scams. Look at this picture and you will know what I mean.

This picture also sums it up nicely
