As a cryptocurrency enthusiast and investor, I'm always cautious about the possibility of encountering scams. Recently, I received an email claiming to offer me a lucrative bitcoin investment opportunity. However, I'm suspicious of its authenticity. Could you please advise me on the steps I should take to verify and handle such a bitcoin scam email? Should I immediately delete it or is there a way to report it to the relevant authorities? Additionally, what are some common signs that indicate an email is a scam, and how can I protect myself from future such scams?

Additionally, it is important to never send bitcoin to an unknown sender demanding payment via email. Such requests are often fraudulent and should be disregarded.
