An email warns me that my email address expires today unless I take action immediately. But the email address concerned was deleted 5 years ago and the emails to it are caught as spam, so there is no problem. Just a scammer who bought a very old spam email address list.

“Is Alzheimer’s really incurable?” is the title of yet another scam message offering a cure for this degenerative disease. The message tells you that the diseases is the 6^th largest cause of death in the United States. That is true and it does kill more than 100,000 people per year in America. But then the message goes on to claim that a transcript of an ancient Chinese healing secret shows how to prevent and to cure Alzheimer’s. No. All lies.

The email title is “Internet Providers Scared: This Device Boosts Your Home Wi-Fi into Another Dimension”. People who work in Marketing are known for ‘exaggerating’ the truth, but this is a simple scam. The message is actually about wi-fi boosters on the market that you plug into mains sockets around the house wherever the wi-fi signal is inadequate. This scammer wont actually sell you such a booster (but Walmart or any electronics retailer will) – the email address is expericnnash which is obviously made-up and the domain name is “.xyz” which is never used by reputable retailers. The scammer claims far too much which points it out as a scam.

Weight loss scams are very very common and this latest one is about a magical drink you take each morning and it results in massive weight loss. It evens burns more calories than a morning jog in cold weather. Your body burns calories in order to power your muscles. Jogging uses up calories but sitting around having a drink does not. The message also claims “Put this in your mug tomorrow morning and burn 3 lbs from your belly”. It is impossible to drink anything that only affects stomach fat. Total rubbish.

Mr Neil informs me that I still haven’t collected the £750,000 waiting for me as the last known heir of a deceased client of Heir Hunter’s Debt Recovery Unit. I think this scammer has been watching the Heir Hunters series on the BBC which highlight the work of the companies that chase down heirs when people die without leaving a will and the government has no easy way to find relatives. Sadly, there isn’t a rich dead relative who’s left me a stack of cash.

“Scientists were shocked when they first saw this strange tinnitus story”. The story supposedly includes a retired war hero, several Buddhist monks and someone’s grandson. Very picturesque and all about a magical tinnitus cure which those powerful corporations are trying to keep secret. You must watch the video explanation before it gets taken down by those evil corporations.Typical nonsensical rubbish aimed at extremely gullible people.

“What happened next shocked even myself”. This scammer is probably laughing herself silly ats sending out such a stupid scam message and sadly even the most stupid ones get some replies. This particular message is another one about instant weight loss with no effort. It’s described as 100% guaranteed, missed by medical science and you can lose 84 lbs using a simple two step ritual. I assume the ritual is number 1 – get your bank details ready and step 2 forward them to the scammer. You lose the weight of all that unwanted money in your bank account and she gains it all. No thanks.

Cindy Yang writes to warn the radio station that Changsta Top Co Ltd has applied to register Brooklandsradio as their brand name and domain names and wants to know if we have given them permission to do so. This is a simple phishing scam and should not be replied to.

“The Unusual Link Between Your Toes and Alzheimer’s” is the title for one of many emails about Alzheimer’s. This one claiming that simple toe exercises can cure Alzheimer’s in a few weeks. It is sad how many scammers want to steal money from people suffering with life threatening illnesses.

Next scammer is ‘Dr. Kim’ who wants me to believe that a ‘weird’ trick she has found will force my eyes into perfect 20/20 vision within days. Just another greedy evil scammer trying to use a pathetically dumb story to steal from people.

One idiot spammer keeps trying to sell shipping container plans as if living in a shipping container is a good idea. No thanks.

A long dull story claiming to be from Mr. Gilbert William Frost explains that he was the victim of a scammer and lost $100,000 but the FBI put him in touch with a Mrs Fernandez who only charged him $550 for legal papers and then got compensation of $1,300,000 for him. It doesn’t explain why the compensation is 13 times the amount he lost but he exhorts everyone to do what he did and recover millions of dollars. Just a typical Nigerian 419 scammer looking for greedy stupid people to respond and then lose their money chasing a non existent pot of gold.

A strange email titled “How men are preventing type II diabetes”. There are many emails targeting women’s health but claiming men have a different way to women of avoiding type II diabetes is a new one. I’m not clicking the link to see what rubbish they are advertising.

A message from Bird Box tells me I’m missing out because I haven’t signed up to the only ISA that pays 9.5% fixed returns per year, paid every 6 months. An ISA that paid that much would go bankrupt very quickly so obviously it’s just lies.

There are lots of scam emails about cures for Alzheimer’s as it is very common and there is no cure. This message claims a new chewy snack shut down research at one of the biggest pharmaceutical companies and that medical experts are calling it the Alzheimer’s discovery of the century. Strange that we haven’t seen it on TV, in the newspapers or shouted from the rooftops. There is no such discovery, just an evil scammer trying to get people’s hopes up so she can steal their money.

Business Mobile Selection wants to interest me in buying a cloud based phone system. The advert claims it is a cutting edge offer. However the email is from advertise-general.agency which is obviously the name of an advertising company rather than a phone company and the agency doesn’t exist hence the whole thing is a scam.

“Fat Decimator” claims have a tip that means you can drop 3 dress sizes in 7 days and this outrageous secret had already been proved by 56,000 women and doesn’t include a diet, exercise or supplements. Not exactly a secret if 56,000 women already know it. Dropping 3 dress sizes would mean losing about 24 lbs and the only way to do that in 7 days would be to have one leg or both arms removed. Not a good way to slim.

Curafen has the answer to the rapid rise in disease worldwide and can reveal the true cause behind diabetes, heart disease, arthritis and even cancer. She warns ‘Do not take another drug or supplement until you watch this video’. All ridiculous rubbish of course – to entice people to watch a random sales video for which she will get paid by the video makers.

A professional looking ad for ProFlexen appears but the email sender is ikzkys which is just someone randomly typing to create a fake email address and the message was sent to 10 made-up addresses at the radio station. The link in the email is to minters.site /minters32/ which tells you it’s a scammers website not a real medical provider.

Another warning. This time it says ’This daily habit accelerates Alzheimer’s by 87%’. Alzheimer’s research does not produce figures to that level of accuracy as it is impossible and meaningless.

Alzheimer’s Itch

The email title is “This simple trick will boost your brain’s health”

So it’s about improving the health of your brain?

No – it’s actually about early warning signs of Alzheimer’s.

The email claims that research at a UK University shows that people with an itch in a specific place on their body have early onset Alzheimer’s.

You have to click to find out where the itch is supposed to be.

But we all know that if you see someone who’s clearly feeling itchy makes everyone else feel itchy as well, so anyone of any state of health reading about the itch is likely to feel it.

That’s a really nasty thing to do to people – trying to make them worried about an illness they don’t have.

There is no such research – it’s all just made up rubbish from a very nasty greedy criminal.

The Alzheimer’s Scam

The title of the email is ‘Brain Scan Uncovers Real Cause of Alzheimer’s”.

It goes on “We have finally discovered exactly what causes Alzheimer’s. It’s not old age, genetics or vitamin deficiencies.

And now we know why, we can protect ourselves against Alzheimer’s and other memory diseases and possibly reverse them.

The surprising thing is you can do so simply by using the items in your home right now. “

This is a scam – Alzheimer’s is a very serious and deadly disease and these scammers don’t have any magic cure – they just want your money.

It is despicable to claim cures for disease when none exists.

The end of the email carries a warning designed to make you act quickly.

It says’ Because the specific method you are about to discover can demolish the entire Alzheimer’s industry, it can be taken down at any time. So act now while you can.”

This is so disgraceful.

This obviously a scam as someone claiming a magic cure that science doesn’t know about always means it’s a con. The warning is to make you act quickly is another typical component of a con.

Just another scam.
