Another American scammer offers free electricity using some device you can make at home for free. It claims the secret is only known to a handful or people but also says that 72,512 patriotic Americans have already built the device and have free electricity for life. Confusing – not to the scammer offering the non existent device.

The message says I deserve an extreme Dewalt drill and CONGRATULATIONS. It claims to be from Last Minute Giveaway but the sender’s email address is random rubbish “259oldupd761amp41400d59” and its @segmatchno.com This is a simple phishing email with a link to click to confirm my acceptance of the prize. The link is labelled CONFOrmation Required.  That’s to try to evade email scanning by the Internet provider and  it also then has a page of supposed offers for dresses and lots of links to each dress but the links are all the same. Just another tactic to try to fool the automatic email scam filters.

Microsoft has a business product called SharePoint which is about people working together and managing content. An enterprising scammer is sending out messages using the domain name in the person’s email address and adding portal on the end then claiming there is a message witing on that SharePoint portal and you should click the link to receive the message. It’s just a phishing message – trying to get your login and password details. Always read emails carefully before clicking anything and if in doubt – do not click. Contact the sender by another means to verify if the message is genuine.

An email claims in big letters that I have won a $500 Shell gas card.  With the price of fuel raising so much it’s no wonder more scammers than ever are offering such non existent rewards.  Just a simple con trick – do not engage with such criminals.

“Do you think NASA knows everything when it comes to new technology?”. That’s the opening line in a scam email offering super cheap new power. There is a picture in the email but it just shows someone fitting a plug into a multi way extension lead. That happens in every household and is nothing to do with new magic technology that is too advanced for NASA. Pathetic.

Another email arrives claiming we owe an overdue invoice of unspecified amount. This one is from floridapythonhunts.com which sounds like a fun company but never heard of them. They claim to have an office in Leadenhall Street, London. Seems unlikely. The sender says she is Jane Campbell but that doesn’t match her email address of “chudsi”. Just a dumb scammer.

Yippee – I have won a donation of 2,500,000 Euros from the Open Society USA. Apparently my email address was chosen at random. No-one in their right mind would believe an organisation (if it exists) is giving away millions of Euros to random email addresses but the scammer clearly believes someone will reply and is then open to being scammed.  Strangely this scammer keeps sending out the same message then resends it with the other scam messages included so it’s a chain of emails in one. How dumb must this scammer be?

Oh No!!! My Cash App is blocked according to the latest scam email. What must I do? The email says I must confirm my PIN number, email address and name and update my billing details i.e. financial information. Hang on a minute. I don’t have a Cash APP and have never heard of one. Just a scam message.

Docusign is a well known and trusted service – you receive a document , sign it and return it to the sender. This may be part of a recruitment process, contract agreement, verification of something and so on. But the scammers also send out emails pretending to be from Docusign. This latest one says Review the invoice for your reference. This is an electronically generated notification. Additional Signing Way. Please visit DocuSign.com, click on ‘Access Documents’, enter the code: E1D4699E14. But it’s all fake – the link to sign the document is the giveaway as its not docusign. Beware.

Jason says he has looked through our website and is interested in our products. Can we please send him further details. Obviously that’s a NO as he’s a scammer looking for active email addresses and people dumb enough to reply to stupid messages.

“Please be informed that you have been selected for a Grant of Two Million US Dollars from The United States Agency for International Development.” This is a simple 419 scam email. The scammer wants to know my name, address etc. as obviously I have been chosen to receive International Development aid without anybody knowing my name. Also strange considering that such aid is for countries and their development agencies – not individuals in rich countries. Pathetic rubbish.

An email claims to be from Shell Gas Station which is a little odd but it’s actually from 205ml8971-00oopr21-90 @ brimatech9.com so is obviously a scammer’s message. The title is Hurry up – the number of prizes is limited” so it’s a fake prize scam.  The message goes on about newest models and big prizes and I haver to click the ‘confirm’ box to receive my gift. No doubt the confirm box would lead to a scam website that would try to get my confidential information and probably download malware to my computer. No thanks.

An email from Corbett Software promises email addresses guaranteed to be 100% accurate. For any country in the world. Does that include North Korea I wonder or The Vatican. Spam lists are never very accurate – as it’s not worth the scammers effort to get accurate data and who’s going to complain when the list turns out to be mostly made-up or out date data? The message says $250 per million email addresses. Not for us.

“Henrymog” tells us that the easiest way to make money is to turn $1 into $100 using the “financial robot”. Just a scammer’s ruse to get you to click a link which could be anything at all and certainly not a way to turn $1 into $100 except through crime. No thanks

“I’m getting in touch about the invoice 284 for £491.07”. from a Brazilian email address. “Lisa Evans” wants us to pay up immediately and the final invoice is attached. Nope. Just a typical scam message. We won’t open the attachment and wont pay the bill as we have never had any dealings with “Lisa Evans” of UK Global Logistics that cannot afford a UK email address.

“2 ingredient face scrub erases 10 years of deep wrinkles and dark spots” is one title line in a set of scam emails. Obviously this is not true – deep wrinkles cannot be erased so easily – its not like sandpapering a piece of wood.  The message also claims many hundreds of thousands of women already use this method. If that was true then the whole world would know about this and there would be no reason for the scam emails claiming to let you in on the secret. Just a scammer trying to get people to click to view a video.

An email that looks to be from Amazon tells me “We thought you’d like to know that we shipped your item. And that this completes your order. You order is on , and can no longer be changed.” And it gives the total for the order as $759.32. I haven’t ordered anything from Amazon so that could be worrying except that the email is actually from @offers.com which is an email address available to anyone so is used by scammers. Also the sender doesn’t know my name – she has put the first part of my email address as Dar … and guessed it may be correct – but it isn’t. So many people buy from Amazon that it’s bound to attract scammers. Stay careful.

An email from ‘Elizabeth Brookes’ asks why we sent her a payment of £461.33 and there is a remittance attached for us to check. This is just a typical scam message trying to get us to open the attachment. Not going to happen.

Scams based on MBNA credit cards have long been popular. This latest one warns us of closure of the MBNA credit card as MBNA has joined the Lloyds Bank Group. Consequently, we will be issued with a new credit card. All lies of course – the scammer wants us to fil in our details so the ‘transfer’ can take place. I don’t think so.

‘Kevin’ has a miraculous approach to diabetes and obesity. He claims a new 30 second trick will get rid of that stubborn belly fat and restore healthy glucose levels with no need for exercise or dieting. That may be the Holy Grail of dieters the world over, but it’s just a scammer’s fantasy. There is no such thing. Losing weight requires eating fewer calories than your body uses up. Scammer’s never stop.

Hashim Mohammed claims in an email that he is desperate to buy PPE products – face masks, rapid tests, gowns and gloves. So, he is looking for a supplier or distributor to fulfil large orders. Anyone really looking for a PPE supplier could find any number very easily and would not send out emails to random addresses – especially not to a radio station. Just a scam message of course looking for someone dumb enough to reply.

An email from Stuart Scan Data says it’s a designated memo sent to me using Fujifilm ApeosPort C4570. No idea whether that exists or not – it’s a simple scam message. There is attachment labelled as a PDF file but in fact has the extension.pdf.htm so it’s a webpage which is no doubt loaded with malware. No thanks. Never open documents in unsolicited emails.

Chronoboost is a good sounding name but is used by scammers to name a supposed fast acting antidote to sleep problems that would, supposedly, otherwise lead to stroke, diabetes type 3, Alzheimer’s etc.  This is another magical health remedy dreamed up by scammers. All rubbish.

“Tea Burn” offers a simple 10 second trick that turns any cup of tea into “super” tea that speeds up your “thyroids” instantly causing weight loss and to top that it also whitens your teeth in the process. Worth a good laugh at the stupidity of this, but definitely not worth clicking the link to see the tea perform its magic.

A fax notification arrives from an email address at toroslav-bid.gov.tr which is a Turkish address but not the government of course. Does anyone in the civilised world still use faxes??? I won’t be clicking the link to check non existent faxes.
