Stupidest Scam or Spam of the Week

This scammer is ridiculously over the top – maybe she isn’t having any luck selling her product so thinks let’s make the claim bigger and bigger or maybe she’s been advised to go bigger.

The email opens with:-

“What if I told you that you hold the universal power of anticipating life-altering encounters with strangers tapping into your unlimited frequency predicting upcoming challenges and lucrative opportunities and following through on your BIG goals without any hesitation or uncertainty”

So, she claims you have a universal super-power.

You can tap into unlimited abundance.

You can predict lucrative opportunities.

And you can follow through on your goals without hesitation.

The supposed big secret is just numerology.

Time-Wasters Update

So, what rubbish emails and calls have there been to Brooklands Radio station in the last few days?

“The Betting Experts” make $120,000 – $160,000 per year and want to teach me their method. Expert scammers more like it – so no thanks.

Apparently I can reduce my energy bills by 75% and it’s so simple a kid can do it. Sadly the only easy thing is in how easily people fall for these scams.

An email tells me a simple overnight trick will have my hair growing like crazy – Yeah! Right!

Search Work From Home Opportunities. So many people want these opportunities to be real but more than 95% of adverts for home working are scams. This email is from nties.loan so it’s fake.

An email claiming to be from Jessica Gonzalez but actually from hickory @ollerza.loan tells the story of how Lauren gained more fat but actually got slimmer and more toned just by drinking apple juice. So this juice which is full of sugar supposedly made her slimmer and toned her muscles at the same time. And there are people who believe this kind of tripe. Unbelievable.

Scammers With Stupid Email Addresses

Imagine you’re a scammer or spammer and you plan to send out millions of emails covering dozens or hundreds or fake products/ phishing attempts, viruses, ransomware etc – anything nasty.

You cannot keep using the same domain name i.e. the Internet address, as people quickly block spam and scam messages from the same address and the email providers such as Microsoft, Yahoo and Google also spot these messages and block them.

So, you need to keep creating new email addresses by the dozen.

Some stick to Gmail or Yahoo or Hotmail etc. and just add different random numbers to make the addresses new e.g. mailtrap101.com then mailtrap102.com. mailtrap103.com etc.

But in time, the mail providers spot these so the scammers have to be more creative and many create random names e.g fitz234ger.com – a totally meaningless name.

One recently invented a new approach of using silly names, that included

Davidangrymoney.com
Albertnoisyroom.com
Archiesnicehome.com
Joshuasroughgirl.com
Chriscolddoor.com
Jaysnervousyear.com
Hayleyslargeservice.com
Georgeseasymoment.com

You can see the pattern – a first name plus two random words.

What were the messages about? Everything from free car repairs to portion controlled diets to solar panels to winter barbecues to telephone lines to mattresses.

If you receive an email and you’re not sure if it’s genuine – look at the email address it came from. If it’s not the one you expect and certainly if it’s a stupid one – then beware a scammer or spammer.

Stupidest Scam or Spam of the Week

The Hot Water Detox.

Strange title for a message considering the message is about soup. Not just any soup though – this one makes you lose weight at nearly one pound per day regardless of what else and how much else you eat.

This soup is so good it can ‘burn away’ 37 pounds in just 20 days.

Wow – that’s a better weight loss than complete starvation.

The soup reprograms your natural hormones to burn more as you get older while eating as much as you want.

The scammers seem to compete to outdo each other with more and more ridiculous claims for weight loss.

Could anyone possibly believe such drivel?

Time-Wasters Update

So, what rubbish emails and calls have there been to Brooklands Radio station in the last few days?

“Give your business the gift of love” email – turns out to be boring rubbish about gas bills.

An email claims I can earn $13,000 in exactly 24 hours – by robbing a convenience store maybe. Standard drivel designed to make you click a link.

A Mrs Jones wants to offer us a business loan for any purpose up to $50 million and states that it doesn’t matter if we are blacklisted by the credit industry. Safe to say there are no loans, just a phishing scam.

A message from milli @foodservices.com about placing an order. But the purpose of the email was to deliver a virus infected attachment.

An email proclaiming “The biggest Turmeric Breakthrough in 4,000 Years”. Well if you’re going to make up rubbish – you may as well make it spectacular rubbish.

The Lottery Method Scam

A nameless moron keeps emailing that she has won the lottery (unnamed lottery) multiple times and so can everybody else if they follow her method.

The email is from winfantasy5 so that should tell you she has a sense of humour as methods for winning the lottery are obviously in the realm of fantasy.

The email message starts off with

“I gotta tell you … it makes me SO MAD when people say I’m lucky because I’ve won the lottery grand prize 7 times.

I’m sorry, you don’t win 7 lottery game Grand Prizes by luck. That would be like saying I’m going to get struck by lightning 7 times in my life.”

She claims to have cracked the code for how to win the lottery and will share it with you.

Unusually for this kind of scam email, there is some detail on how the method works.

The method is that you make a list of all of the winning numbers (at least the last 7 winners) and feed them into her calculation and that uses statistical analysis to predict the winners.

And this method applies to all lotteries supposedly.

Lottery machines are designed to be random, so no amount of analysing winning numbers has any meaning.

Plus if the method did actually work then you’d find everybody picking the same numbers and that would not end well.

You may remember the scene in the Jim Carey film ‘Bruce Almighty’ where he gets sick of hearing prayers and says yes to everything. A lot of people asked to win the lottery so he let them win – and instead of hundreds of thousands of dollars for the win they each got a few cents because so many people had won.

Lotteries are random chance – there is no way to increase your chance of winning beyond buying more tickets.

So, what rubbish emails and calls have there been to Brooklands Radio station in the last few days?

Someone trying to sell Canada Goose Parkas at 68% off. The email address is clearly just random letters and numbers so this isn’t a real offer.

Apparently I’m due a tax refund of £375.56 . How nice. But clicking their link would take me to a wiki site with an Argentinian domain name. No thanks.

I’m due yet another tax refund, this time for £198.74. This one is an obvious phishing scam as it’s sent to a made-up email address.

Apparently, a car industry engineer had just revolutionised DIY projects. This person’s ‘trick’ makes it possible for anyone to produce works of art from old junk. Yeah – and watch out for those flying pigs.

A very insistent advertiser desperate to sell us bollards, wheel stops or bike racks. We can live forever without needing any of those things. No thanks.

The Betting Experts Scam

An email pops up titled something like “The Betting Experts team”.

But it’s from bettingexperts.faith which means it’s a scam as “.faith” internet addresses are obviously meant for Churches and other faith organisations. Betting does not qualify.

The email says
“ I’m so glad you opened this.

The Betting Experts have just opened their doors to new members and you don’t want to miss out.

These guys consistently bring in$120,000 – $160,000 per year – and it’s no surprise with their combined expertise”

It goes on to promise you can make $2,400 in your first week. And they have just 50 spots to release.

So, it’s a typical “Something for nothing” scam but in fact you get nothing for your money.

There’s lots of ways they can make money out of this – the simplest being to take your money and provide nothing but the more cunning ones do give you something.

Imagine you pay just a starter fee and in return get a list of winning bets to make each week. If you lose then tough luck but if you win, then you pay them 10%

Sounds like you can’t lose. Of course you can as it’s really only them who cannot lose.

The recommended bets are just random chance – you can do better on your own.

And paying them 10% if you win – is money for nothing.

No wonder they claim to make $120,000 – $160,00 per year. It’s from idiots who buy into their scheme where the only winners are the scammers.

Talks With a Japanese Cat

The email is dramatic

“You Can Now Communicate Directly With Your Cat”

“Researchers in Tokyo have found this lesson through careful scientific analysis.”

“The Japanese researchers found that cats understand humans, not just by voice tone but also by identifying certain words including their names, the owners name and certain commands”.

Now, if you’re a cat owner then you already know that cats learn their name and certain commands so the above statements are nothing new, just some moron trying to sell junk by making it sound new and exciting when it’s just common knowledge.

How to communicate with a cat

Rattle tins of cat food – the cat can hear this from 8 miles away and will suddenly appear next to you, purring and expecting to be fed.
Shower affection and cuddles and tickles on your cat as they know they are worth it and the cat will be pleased you’re finally treating it as you should.
If the cat does something you don’t want it to – then shout NO or STOP and it will get the message
If the cat rubs up against your leg then it wants to be stroked.

Now is that so difficult it takes researchers to find it out?

I think not. All cats have their owners trained within a few weeks. No problem.

Reiki Energy Healing

Reiki is an ancient Japanese art of energy healing.

It is quite common in the West nowadays. It’s quite easy and cheap to learn and very relaxing to practice. For many it does work, but that’s not to say that it works for everyone though.

Reiki is taught by various Reiki schools across the UK and is usually taught over a weekend some book work but mostly hands on practice and exercises.

However, it is like many ancient arts something that must be taught by a person face to face not through a bunch of PDF documents on the Internet. You cannot learn energy healing from a PDF – you need a person in front of you to demonstrate and to know whether you’re doing it right or need further guidance.

There are numerous lazy stupid people – scammers and spammers who will jump on any new thing and try to make money from it for their own benefit and so is the case with Reiki.

A recent email titled “Hollywood Crazy Over This New Esoteric Practice”

Trying to sell this by use of celebrity endorsements is ridiculous – Angelina Jolie, Nicole Kidman, Sandra Bullock use Reiki according to the email. Plus Phil Mickelson the golfer, Doctor Oz and more.

Top sports people like Phil Mickelson maybe add a little credibility to the story (his name was probably picked at random by the scammer) but actors – they are not generally seen as the most level headed or intelligent types so why should anyone believe a product is good because of a celebrity endorsement?

If you want to learn Reiki – contact a Reiki school and learn properly and do not be conned by the scammers and spammers sending out millions of pathetic emails.
