AFAIK, most of these scams don’t result in you getting murdered or kidnapped. You just lose a lot of money.
I doubt if anyone is targeting you specifically. You probably once gave away your email to an untrustworthy site.
This happened to me as well. At one point in time my inbox was getting buried in these sort of emails. Eventually I created a new email ID and didn’t give it out to anyone except friends and family.
