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

The usual rubbish from uk-prizes.co.uk saying my Amazon voucher is waiting. This time instead of the usual £100 voucher it’s now grown to £1000 and there are only three people left in the prize draw – me and two other named people. Break the data protection laws while you’re at it.

An email offering bargain priced flights between Singapore and Jakarta and the price is in Rupees and most of the email is in Indian. That must be a very small target market (maybe less than 0.01% of companies in the UK) for businesses this could be of interest to, so why flood the world with such pointless messages?

A claim that Alzheimer’s is because of a ‘thing’ in your brain and can be cured  Yeah. Very likely. It’s from email address @brainlevo.cricket. As you would assume, that Internet domain suffix is for cricket clubs – not scammers.  

An email offering free knives. This is a strange knife that folds up into the size and thickness of a credit card. Their advertising pitch is that it can pass through airport scanners undetected. That’s a dreadful idea.

A typical email offering SEO services (website optimisation) – but we get hundreds of these emails every month and this is from India as are most of these sorts of emails. Every idiot who knows what SEO means thinks they can get business by flooding the world with such spam messages.

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

The email title is “Tighten your stomach and arms by Saturday” but the content is about eye care. Slight mismatch there.

An offer of a free quote from a debt collection agency. We’re a volunteer organisation – no debts and the email is from mailjets.co.uk so it’s just a Marketing company looking for leads.

“Vibrant Clients” selling mailing lists. No thanks – there’s enough spam email in the world already.

Apple technical Support tell me something went wrong with my last payment so I need to click to resolve this matter. Nope – I don’t think so as I don’t make payments to Apple.

Mr Tomson Jackson wants to offer me a loan at 4% interest. Anything from $1 million to $1 billion. OK.  I’ll have one billion dollars please and pay it back in 50 years.

An email from Sara 3zmga @4i7d77brdehcf.baidutech.com claims to be a Chinese manufacturer who wants us to buy designer underwear from them with our logo on. That image gave me a good laugh but no thanks.

“Canadian Pharmacy” tells us to defend ourselves with the best antibiotics. Anyone buying antibiotics online without a prescription from their doctor is risking their health and damaging mankind’s future with antibiotic resistant microbes.

A controversial ‘brain trick’ has left scientists across the world baffled trying to figure out how this has helped over 39,144 people to recall childhood memories as if they were young children again. 39,144 is a remarkably precise estimate but then it is a simple scam.

Would I like to sign up for a 3 year bond paying out high percentage returns on an Eco Lodge and Spa Resort?  The email is from data-leadservice.click so it’s a just a Marketing company looking for leads to sell.

A strange email asking if I am in the Coffee Business searching for new sales opportunities. Sorry – we’re a radio station, which you would know if you hadn’t bought a bargain basement spam list.

Alejandro, who is Personnel manager of a large International company, is looking for people to work remotely, earning up to $5,200 per month.  This is scammers jargon meaning someone who wants to work from home and is gullible enough to fall for this scam. No thanks.

Apparently, breakthrough research has discovered a fat burning ingredient in a common fruit and this can lead to 47 lbs weight loss in just 30 days. To get that rate of weight loss  I assume they kidnap you, chuck you in a prison and completely starve you for the 30 days. I can do without that.

An email offering to review my pension arrangements. Too kind. But the email is from printdirectone.co.uk – I think I’d get better advice from a pensions expert than from a printer.

There’s a sale of LV bags and it’s 80% off but it’ll end in a few hours so I have to buy online right now.  A typical phishing scam. I hope no one falls for this.

An idiot named Mr Howe keeps sending us emails about wanting to talk with the Vice President of telephony about swapping our phone system to his that has bank-level security. How many times can we say NO.
