A David Shultz tells us he has read our company’s pitch and is impressed and it suits his investment trajectory. He wants to invest between $5 million and $200 million to ‘ignite our business venture’. Obviously a ridiculous idea for a community radio station and he is an obvious scammer. Pity the money isn’t real or we could take it and retire to the Bahamas.

So many criminals have tried to take advantage of the pandemic with fake Covid tests, fake vaccine shots, fines for breaking Covid rules etc. Some have targeted government loans and these scams are still circulating. This latest one says ‘Get Your Recovery Loan Today’, offering instant decisions, terms over 6 years and limited payback. But it’s all fake. There are government loans of course but tight rules determine who is eligible and the money has to be paid back so it isn’t money for nothing

The stream of fake emails warning that various of our email addresses are blocked, continues. This latest one is particularly stupid as it is addressed to a fake address at the radio station but the opening line is ‘Dear jamesparknoseus000 @bestinlines.biz’ which is nothing to do with the radio station.  The moron scammer doesn’t even know how to substitute the email address they are trying to send to into the message template.

Latest scam messages are about supposedly secure documents having been sent to the recipient using OneDrive. This might be possible except that the sender is not Microsoft or OneDrive but webregbanko.org which is neither, so it’s fake. They want me to download the attachment. No chance of that happening.

An email claims to be from Home Depot and tells me I am customer number 176110931225 and I have a Home Depot reward waiting for me. Nope – never shopped at Home Depot in my life and the email is from eaatge998te.com which is not Home Depot. Just a phishing scam.
