Time-Wasters Update

“Hot Brew is Shrinking Tummy Fat” says the message but there’s no such thing as a drink that targets stomach fat and the idea that drinking one cup of anything will instantly remove all fat from your stomach is ridiculous fiction.

Shauna tells me I have a new payment in my personal account, but I must to verify my payment details immediately or it will be deleted. I don’t have an account with the unnamed company and she doesn’t even know my name as the salutation is just “Hello”. No thanks Shauna – keep your scam to yourself.

The message claims there is a new skincare trick that women and men are using to look 10-20 years younger in just a few seconds. This secret comes straight from Beverley Hills – the world’s capital of skincare. Perhaps Beverley Hills is the capital of cosmetic surgery but it’s not where the cosmetics industry is based. Just a standard scam making a ridiculous claim.

Did you know? This potent vegetable caused Cathy to lose 56 lbs of stubborn ugly diabetic fat from her belly and hips. And reversed her type II diabetes. No. I didn’t know that, but then it’s obviously not true. There is no such thing as diabetic fat, there are no vegetables that make you lose belly fat – your body reduces the fat storage overall when you eat less calories than you burn, not just in any one area. The message also warns that you mustn’t eat this vegetable more than twice a day or you will lose fat too quickly. Utter rubbish for very very stupid people.

A standard phishing email claiming to be from our website hosting company but the scammers don’t know who that is – their emails are generic so are clearly lies. It wants me to click on a link to verify the new contract terms and conditions. No thanks scammer.

The email is titled “Insane Message”. It isn’t insane but anyone who replies to it must be as the next line is “Proof there is an unusual fish that helps you burn fat.” Nope. Not true – just a scammer trying to think of something other than the wide variety of fruits and vegetables already used in this simple scam.

Mr. Moon Jang asks if we can share $18,400,000 in an abandoned fund left in his bank. I Just have to reply to the email. Sure. Send me the money and if there are any charges to be paid first – well, you work at a bank so you can afford those.

An email from Sam Sam claiming he works with 70+ IT professionals and offers SEO services, Online Reputation Management and Content Writing. Sam Sam’s email address is a ridiculous one (123rkunfu) ending with Yahoo.com so he obviously works alone and may well be a scam artist.

Publishers Clearing House tell me I’ve won $850,000 in the lottery PCH Sweepstakes. I just need to send them name, address, phone number etc. in order to claim. However, they don’t know my name and I didn’t enter such a lottery so it’s just a simple phishing email after my personal details which they can sell on to other scammers.

An email claiming to be from Microsoft but is actually from excel.delivery and it contains an attached EXCEL file which the scammer wants me to open as its labelled September Report. No thanks – no doubt its virus laden.

“Fat Melting Elixir”. Drop 37 pounds in 20 days. This is all possible with a soup detox so the email claims. The soup trains your hormones to burn more fat as you get older while eating as much as you want. Sad pathetic lies from a sad pathetic scammer.

An Act Now alert from Nat West. My account has been suspended as it may have been accessed from a previously unrecognised location. I don’t have a Nat West account so it doesn’t bother me.

A confidential fax sent to my email address. Nope – just a fraudster trying to get me to open an attached file. No thanks.

Greg Lawrence says he is an SEO consultant i.e. expert in getting websites to the top of Google searches. He lists a whole set of problems with my website and wants to help me to get to the top of those searches. But his list includes:-

Low online presence for many keywords. True but irrelevant. It’s not worth concentrating on every possible keyword.
Stumpy image optimisation – Don’t know what a stumpy image is and couldn’t care less.
Deprived website – does that mean my website had a deprived upbringing? Or is it a misspelling maybe?
Inappropriate social media campaign – this moron is desperate to put anything down as a problem but simply stringing words together to make meaningless sentences won’t convince anyone with a more brain cells than an amoeba.

The sender is a loser who thinks he can make money from people who know even less than he does.

Good day says Mauro, who thinks my resume is very attractive and has a vacant position in his company that is ideal for me. Apparently, it can be part-time or full-time and pays up to $7,000 per month. There is no company, and no jobs, just a chancer trying to steal from people genuinely looking for job opportunities.

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.

Yet another effortless magic diet and this one will “get rid of 30 lbs in 20 days”. The amusing thing about this email is that scammers often copy pages from a book to the bottom of their email hoping it will get past the email provider’s spam checker. In this case the text added is a recipe for a very fattening dish involving grated bread, lemon and parsley fried in butter over fried cutlets. No thanks.

An email supposedly from China stating that the unnamed company sells metal casings and forgings, but the message is obviously a scam. The email doesn’t have enough detailed information to make sense, has no business name or address and comes from a .com domain. A waste of time.

Scammers often concentrate on whatever seems popular at the time e.g. fat loss, hair restoring, foot problems, restless legs, superfoods etc. Now a scammer is trying to add Vitiligo to that list. A flood of emails promising she has worked diligently for 12 years and researched on a daily basis and now has the cure. In reality she’s just working on a cure for her bank balance deficit by trying to con people.

Yippee! I’ve won $850,000 in The Publishers Clearing House Global Sweepstakes Email Lottery. Shame it’s just scammers lies.

”Following a review of your previous year’s tax payments we have determined that you are eligible to receive a tax refund of £265.84. Please click the link below to complete your tax refund request on our website”. The email is from Ryerson.ca which is a Canadian domain name. I doubt the UK tax office uses Canadian domain names. This scammer is so lazy, she hasn’t attempted to copy the real tax office website – just made up her own.
