Actually, spam emails should automatically end up in the spam folder. This one, however, makes every effort to be read!
Spam filters work by comparing the text in the email with known phrases from spam emails. However, these emails make it easy: They contain no text at all, just a PDF as an attachment that has the sender's name:
Many users will open the PDF with curiosity because it may be application documents. However, all you can see is this:
“See how thousands of Germans are already earning Bitcoin. Now it’s available to everyone.”

The text contained in the PDF is a link to a page that reports on an “underground banking system” whereby you can earn several thousand euros a day by investing at least 250 euros.
The link to the article also contains a so-called referral supplement, which means that the sender of the spam email also earns money if users register with that “underground banking system” and deposit money there!
Because of course the link in the article leads to one of the usual, dubious Bitcoin trading platforms:
Users who are interested in the offer should provide the website operator with personal information, such as their name or telephone number. During registration it becomes apparent that this is trading software. You first have to pay a certain starting capital (usually 250 euros) before you can start trading.

Warning about Bitcoin trading platforms
binary options online , as these platforms often do not, rarely or only partially pay out profits to users.
Apart from that, the operators of those sites are now in possession of users' sensitive data, which can be used for further fraud.
Two actions can occur with binary options:
- The predicted event occurs, whereby traders receive a predetermined amount.
- The predicted event does not occur, causing traders to suffer a loss.
Consumers can earn money by trading binary options if their assessment is correct. Online binary options trading involves numerous risks. For example, you may not receive a payout of your winnings, you may end up with providers who manipulate prices, or your personal information may be used for crimes under your name.
