You think that's a scam? No shit it's a scam
I get maybe 5 or 10 emails about this Solana thing per week (to my spam folder of course), saying I've been granted some crypto that I need to claim. I'm not sure what they're actually trying to do - gain access to crypto wallets maybe?
Yeah, I got it too
