The bread that “burns fat” – amazing. It has no effect on your blood sugar level so is perfect for diabetics. Too good to be true? Of course it is – exercise burns fat and bread does not. Plus, if the bread has no effect on your blood sugar then it must contain no actual food. No thanks.

“Have you read about this crazy heart health secret that keeps heart disease at bay even if your blood pressure’s out of whack?” is the sales pitch in a latest scam email. Typical scammer language “crazy… secret” then says than tens of thousands of people are already using this technique. All made up rubbish from a criminal.

eFAX Corporate tell me there is a one page fax waiting for me to collect. I just have to click the link of course. There is a document attached to the email but I assume it contains malware so no thanks. Never open documents you did not expect.

Mrs Maureen Hinckley emails to tell me that her foundation is donating $550,000 to me. Shame she doesn’t even know my name but then she is a scam artist looking to steal from people rather than to donate anything.

A new email claims to be from CBS Health News and contains information on a new 1 minute sugar hack that slashes deadly high blood sugar overnight and reverses diabetes type II. Just the usual lies from an evil scammer trying to take advantage of people’s illnesses and desperation for an answer.

In the last 6 months, more than 61,959 people have been using this new Paleo cookbook and you can get a free copy delivered to your home in return for just your address. These kinds of emails quoting overly exact figures are always scams. Sometimes large businesses will send out free books etc. as part of a Marketing campaign but this scammer is just after your name and address which she can sell to other criminals.

Oh NO! An email warns me that a green veggie is making my diabetes a living hell and that it is banned in Europe. I just have to click the link to see the absolute proof. No thanks. I don’t have diabetes and there is no such vegetable.

A nice person tells me I am a beautiful soul and I am meant to manifest wealth and prosperity this month. Also, that the struggles in my life have been preparing me for this moment in my life when everything I want will come true. What I want is to catch this scammer and put her in jail for trying to con people.

Wow. David Allen M.D. has come across a secret resource used by doctors to treat themselves when mainstream medicine doesn’t work. It’s filled with scientific proof for each remedy and treats the root of any problem – not just the symptoms. I must click the link to get a copy of this wonderful book. I am laughing too much to continue this ridiculous story. Pathetic in the extreme.

I’ve been sent a link to a secret video that shows the 3 point death touch that anyone can use to protect themselves from any bad guy with almost no training. Rubbish like this occurs in bad martial arts films but not in real life and supposedly teaching people by video how to disarm a man with a gun would be a terrible idea.

“70 year old man has IQ over 140”. The writer of this headline apparently thinks it will be a shock to people, but there are plenty of people of 70 and older with an IQ above 140. There are 50,000 members of Mensa America and that takes an IQ of 130 to get in. However, the scammer’s message is that that scientists have unlocked a secret nerve growth factor and if you take it then your IQ will double. The scammer can provide the secret ingredient of course. There is no such product. If the scammer’s IQ was doubled it would still be near zero.

Apparently, a new study has shown that the diet of a small isolated tribe makes them immune to high blood pressure. You just have to watch the video (link provided) to prove it to you and this has already saved the lives of 24,000 people. Ludicrous rubbish.

David Jim Brown is Head Officer-in-Charge at the Administrative Service Unit of the United Nations Inspection Agency and he has discovered an abandoned shipment transferred into Atlanta airport. The consignment contains $8 million cash and I just need to confirm my full name, address and contact details and he can release the consignment to me. Your fantasy money is nothing to do with me – good job you don’t even know my name.

Timeshare Brokers offer a free Timeshare market analysis to help me sell the Timeshare I don’t have. Ridiculous. They want to find people with Timeshares to sell and then will con them into paying for their services which don’t exist.

As a man you spend 65,520 minutes of your life shaving according to a latest email selling a new razor. That number is too exact but we men do spend time every day shaving and it can irritate the skin for some. This new razor does away with the need for shaving cream or anything similar supposedly. Seems unlikely and the email is from lorofumloe5610ar.icu so is likely from a scammer.

Mr. Ryan Rogers wants to start up a business venture with me – it can be in medical, real estate, finance, energy, oil and gas, start up businesses, expansion etc. It seems it can be almost anything, but then he is a scammer so the choice of business area doesn’t bother him. As a supposed rich businessman with money to spare, he should do better than having email on a Gmail account. No thanks

A strange email arrived with the title “New price update for Funko form Funko” and its from funko@funkopopmall. The message is full of the word Funko and claims to be from a professional Funko manufacturer. Is there such a thing as a Funko? The email reads like a typical scam mail and is badly written but it turns out Funko is a real thing – they are bobble head toys and there is a big market in fake Funkos. Whether the email is from a real company or a copycat doesn’t matter – it’s just time-wasting rubbish.

A message from Carolyn Tornatore tells me I have won an iPhone X but she doesn’t know my name and has a Hotmail account. Just a pathetic scammer.

Nuri Hah promises me I will make $7,000 per month on cryptocurrency trading and investment with her help. No. I don’t think so. I think she is just a sad criminal and her message is so obviously fake it will be surprising if even morons reply to it.

There are always lots of phishing messages from fraudsters claiming to be well-known courier companies. This latest one claims to be USPS – obviously hoping people will think it is UPS delivery. “A package containing confidential information was sent to you”. Then a login and password box. Courier companies do not know what it is the packages they deliver and only an idiot would write Confidential Information on the outside of a package. All fake.

Stupidest Spam of the Week Amateur Scammer

The email claims to be from Maxine Snead which may be a real name but is more likely to be a random made up name.

Whoever the scammer is, they are pretty stupid as the message is full of very basic mistakes.

The message shows a list of dozens of people that the message has been sent to. Experienced scammers hide this list by using the “BCC” line rather than the “To” line when sending.
The message is about an account balance claimed to belong to me and it contains a figure which is supposedly the value of the balance. However the programming code used to add in a random number to represent the balance shows in the message rather than just the intended number.
There are two instances that are intended to show the same balance value but the code is different hence the values shown would be different.
The message says “Please get your money” – not exactly official bank language.
There is no attempt to make the message look professional and it starts with “Hi” rather than a formal greeting.

Ridiculous message from a scammer who doesn’t understand how to make the programming code insert values.

An offer of unlimited accountancy services for one monthly fee. The message is from bluehundredslynk.top which is not an accountancy domain therefore the message should be deleted. If you want professional services of any kind – do your own research and never trust unsolicited emails.

“If you or someone you know is fighting cancer, it is urgent you watch this video now” is a message from a particularly heartless scammer. The video is supposed to show you how to kill the cancer cells without needing chemotherapy or radiotherapy. There is no such method, just a nasty selfish scammer.

The next scam email is about diabetes and claims the real cause of diabetes has been found and is nothing to do with eating carbohydrates or sugar or any other food. We must watch the video before it is taken down by Big Pharma. No, we mustn’t watch videos created by scammers. Diabetes is heavily researched and answers may be found one day. But not by scammers.

Michelle Worsley sent me a message confirming our meeting on Wednesday at 11:30. A professional looking email but I’ve never heard of a Michelle Worsley so I know it’s from a scammer. Plus, the sender’s email address is noreply @turonames.net and noreply addresses are not used where you actually want a reply. It’s most likely from a scammer, testing if the email address is valid as she can sell valid ones for a higher price than untested ones.

An email from Amazon says my order number #74880 requires more information due to a mismatch in my card / billing address. The email has been spoofed to look as if from amazon but it’s a fake. I don’t have any outstanding orders with Amazon and if I did, they would know my name whereas the scammer who sent this message does not.
