An email from Santander bank tells me that my security is their priority. Plus, my account is temporarily under review. Is that worrying? No. The email looks professionally written and looks genuine and has the correct logo and address. But the sender’s email address isn’t Santander – it is support @anyhowverrecruit.com  so it’s obviously a scam. I won’t be clicking the link to verify my account as requested.

“Do you know there is a proven method for reducing debilitating knee pain and helping you live pain free that works faster and more effectively than any other?” is a good sales pitch in the email title, but it’s just a scam message. The message just wants you to click the link to see the answer, but there’s nothing genuine about the message. Never click links in unsolicited emails however harmless they may look.

Many scam email titles are really the opposite of the contents following – they are designed just to make you question something then read the email and fall for whatever they are selling. “Your coffee is cancelled” is the title, but the message is about a supposed 10 second coffee trick that increases your fat burning enormously but also prevents an elevated heartrate or any other side effect of caffeine. Either you take caffeine and get the energy boost and elevated heart rate or you don’t take it and get neither effect. Rubbish email from a scammer.

There are endless Coinbase scam messages, most of which tell you either you have lots of money in your Coinbase account or that it’s about to be closed due to some problem in your information or a change in legal requirements or someone has accessed your account. The latest sets of such messages go back to ‘Your Coinbase Account Has Been Temporarily Disabled’. All meaningless rubbish of course – especially as I don’t have a Coinbase account.

Almost all scam message start with a dramatic title e.g. “Sugar Hack Destroys Diabetes Type II”. That title guarantees the message is a scam. If there was such a method you would have seen it on the news and in the newspapers and magazines and every online service. But it isn’t true. Just more lies from evil scammers. This message goes on about whether zucchini or bell peppers are worse for diabetics to eat. You have to click to read the non existent scientific studies but the link takes you to a scam website ready to download malware onto your computer. To be avoided.

“Slipper Disney Sub Supplier HJ” is a strange name for an email sender but this one claims to be a shoe manufacturer in Guangdong Province. They profess to mainly make flip-flops and slippers. Would any genuine company in China send such rubbish to millions of random email addresses on a spam list? Maybe some are just that dumb.

The next scam email tells me my ID was looked up. It goes on to explain that this means someone clicked the ‘Forgot My Password” button on a website and they have to confirm whether it was me. However, it doesn’t state what company or website is concerned  so is an obvious phishing scam. The scammer wants me to click a link then enter my login and password which is then sent to the scammer. No chance of that.

There are many thousands of weight loss products on the market and probably most work to some degree and the rest are bogus. “Treatment of Overweight and Obesity” is the email title and while it is not very good English it is clear on what the sender is trying to sell. The product is called PRIMA which may or may not exist, however the email sender’s address is 8y75fdds21a3 @factory-art.radio.fm and anything .radio.fm should obviously be a radio station, but isn’t. So, it would be dumb to place any trust in such an email. If you want weight loss products then research what’s available and what doctors say about them and never trust unsolicited emails.

An email from Jason Dunn offers to improve our WordPress website. He wants to arrange a call to discuss this. But he’s obviously bought a spam email list and the radio station doesn’t have a WordPress website so you’re out of luck moron.

Walmart want to know if I received my package from them. The morons who send out these messages don’t seem to understand that a .co.uk email address means the recipient is in the UK and hence there is no Walmart to deliver anything. The sender’s email address is not Walmart as it is zoqloq19.com pretending to be from Walmart support.
