Stupidest Spam of the Week Diet Water

Scammers love diet fads and fantasies as desperate dieters can be conned into almost any belief as long as it gives weight loss with little effort.

A latest such scam is based on water.

“Eat Too Much? Bedtime Water Trick Can Fix It” is the headline attention grabber.

“Recently discovered, thousands upon thousands of men and women are using it to drop unwanted pounds, at night while they sleep”.

Sounds too good to be true – it is too good to be true – it’s just a scam.

The secret method is described as

Get yourself a glass and fill it half full of water
Do this incredibly simple trick which only takes a few seconds
Go to sleep and wake-up 1 to 2- pounds lighter in the morning.

So, where does the weight go to? I hate to think.

Maybe it just magically disappears.

It’s Ok for small children to believe that things magically disappear but adults shouldn’t do so.

Time-Wasters Update

Mikki Carpenter, who clearly bought a spam email list as she thinks I’m a person named “website”, wants to give me access to brand new money generating software. Good enough to turn £250 into a solid retirement and he made £6,581 yesterday alone. The only money making scheme he has is called fraud, lies and deceit. No thanks.

Panalean has a health game changer apparently. It’s a little known natural way to flush deformed cells from your body. Strangely his email address is support @solaroffgridpower.bid which shows he is a very lazy scammer – can’t be bothered getting an appropriately sounding domain name and just uses an old one from solar power scams.

Sharon Monroe wants to tell me about how an ex-Marine discovered that stopping eating one vegetable means you lose 1 Lb of belly fat every 72 hours. Sharon – you tell your psychiatrist instead of me please.

Arctic Pain Relief sends messages from a whole series of seemingly random email addresses such as @memorykjdltypawbtd.bid and claims to have found a miracle arthritis cure and that other treatments could be the death of you. Also that this has uncovered the biggest natural pain relief cover-up in history. No – you’re just a lying cheating sack of dog muck.

A romantic offer arrives from Create Joy Box but the email address is trickphoto.icu so not one anybody should follow-up on.

Time-Wasters Update

An email from Western Union tells me they have a money transfer waiting for me and I just need to tell them my full name, contact address, telephone number, country, passport number etc. to receive that money. This is a standard phishing scam – just after my personal details which can be sold to other scammers. The message is from Mr. Goodluck James. The only good luck is for the scammers if anyone replies.

Travis Stork claims that his wife lost over 50 pounds and she credits it to one fat flushing food exactly one hour before bed. You can lose 14 pounds in 10 days just by adding this to your diet – one hour before bedtime. No. The only thing you would accomplish is furnishing this scammer with your money. Magic diets with no effort NEVER work, especially ones where you can apparently eat anything else you want.

Another message from Yahoo saying my account will be closed if I do not verify my account immediately. Just the usual phishing message – in this case from lateliertana @yahoo.fr which is a Yahoo France personal email address, not from Yahoo itself.

Steve warns that we should never exercise more than 90 minutes per week. That would make life difficult for marathon runners, tennis players and a lot more people but then Steve is presumably a moron for sending out such drivel.

An email that shows lots of other people’s email addresses that have also received the message and only contains a link but no attempt to describe what it is for. The email is from stitchedup22 so at least this scammer has a sense of humour.

Stupidest Scam of the Week – Magic Diet patches

There are endless scams offering magic ways to reduce fat with little or no effort.

This latest one says it was a huge success on Shark Tank and that Mark, Lori and Kevin invested nearly $200 Million in the product.

That’s laughable.

The magic answer this time is a patch that you stick on for 24 hours and it burns away 3 pounds of fat.

Doesn’t say where the fat goes – maybe there’s a puddle of it in the bed in the morning – Yuk!

Then it claims you can lose 30 pounds of fat in a month.

But 3 pounds of fat in a day means 90 – 93 pounds in a month not 30.

This is a totally ridiculous scam targeting people desperate to lose weight.

There are no magic answers to make you lose weight. Eat a balanced diet with less calories and get more exercise is the only answer. It’s not magic and it takes effort but that’s how life works.
