The email says I have had 0.7 of a Bitcoin transferred to my name and I just have to click to accept the payment.

The value of Bitcoins goes up and down dramatically but 0.7 Bitcoins converts to thousands of dollars.

Who wouldn’t want such a windfall?

To accept the transfer you click the link, which does not get you any Bitcoins but rather the website of crypto Code and a sales pitch for their software.

“Unleash The Power Of CryptoCurrency and Earn $15,000 in 24 Hours”

So, it’s just speculation on the price of cryto currencies of which Bitcoin is the most famous.

Is it possible to make lots of money speculating on Bitcoin? Yes. Many people have done so.

But the price can go down just as easily as it can go up and then you lose.

There is a disclaimer at the bottom of the website page

“Trading can generate significant profits but is also highly speculative and involves a high level of risk which can result in partial or full loss of funds”

The email claimed I had Bitcoins transferred to me and that was untrue.

The website claims you can make $15,000 in a day but the disclaimer warns you might lose everything.

Not a good deal to make. For most people it’s safer to choose another investment, but if you’re going to invest in Bitcoin then do your research first and don’t respond to email offers.
