What Are Those Time-Wasters Up To?

So, what rubbish emails and calls have there been to Brooklands Radio station in the last few days?

Web Soul Services want to send out one million Marketing emails on our behalf for just £200. No wonder there’s so much appalling rubbish clogging up the Internet.

A card payment service offer, but the email ifs from interestingmail.biz meaning it’s just a Marketing company seeking leads to sell.

Apparently we have won 1,000,000 Euros in a Spanish sweepstake that we didn’t enter. We just have to send our details to their promotions manager. I don’t think so.

A company called Fuddlewords tells us “Congratulations. You have been accepted” then complains that we haven’t started using their software yet and there is $10,000 in out trading account waiting for us. Oh look – there’s a whole herd of flying pigs.

Westport Investments want us to invest in the Cardiff student village. It’s just a Marketing company looking for leads to sell.

These people just waste our time and clog up the Internet with rubbish.

Those Time-wasters Keep Churning Out the Rubbish

So, what rubbish emails and calls have there been to Brooklands Radio station in the last few days?

An advertising email for shop epos units. We’re not a shop so this is irrelevant but also this is from data-host-lead.trade so it’s just a Marketing company looking for leads to sell.

An email offering outsourcing of credit control i.e. chasing overdue customer bills. We’re a volunteer organisation – no customer bills.

An email claiming to be from a solicitor in Spain offering a mutually profitable partnership. Just a usual scammer wanting to hook people interested in money for nothing but they will learn when they get nothing for their money.

Western Union wanting to just confirm my email address by logging in on their screen and using the 4 digit pin supplied by Western Union. A simple scam using a fake web page to get people to type in their login and security code. The address for the page starts with www.upzy.net/js/… which should tell anyone that it’s not Western Union.

An odd email about hospital food and food safety. Complete with a link to a quiz about food borne illness. Very strange and of course irrelevant to us.

These people just waste our time and clog up the Internet with rubbish.

Those Time-Wasters Never Stop

So, what rubbish emails and calls have there been to Brooklands Radio station in the last few days?

A fiduciary agent acting on behalf of Warren Buffet wants to make an urgent donation to us. Yeah right – and from an Outlook email address.

An email containing a shipping document but the anti-virus check tells me the attachment is loaded with viruses.

A translation company in Shanghai wants to do translations for us at 40% of the cost of UK translators. Maybe they are a real company or maybe not. We don’t use translators.

A company offering an 8% return per year as an investment but it’s fake -just KT Marketing looking for leads as usual.

A message about a voicemail waiting to be picked up. But the anti-virus check shows it’s virus laden.

These people just waste our time and clog up the Internet with rubbish.

What Are Those Time-Wasters Up To Now?

So, what rubbish emails and calls have there been to Brooklands Radio station in the last few days?

An email claiming to be from Barclays and that we have an important message on Barckays-Cloudit but the message is from [email protected] and the link goes to vastgoedkellner.be Simple lies.

Another supposed tax refund from UK Tax and Customs but really from [email protected] The usual rubbish.

Samantha wants us to buy custom wallpaper with motivational messages. I don’t think so.

A tax consultancy wants to set up offshore accounts for us in places such as Andorra and Vanuatu. There’s already enough companies and individuals that avoid paying their fair share of tax.

An email about better accounting services but it’s really just a lead generation company looking for leads it can sell.

These people just waste our time and clog up the Internet with rubbish.

What Are Those Time-Wasters Up To Now?

So, what rubbish emails and calls have there been to Brooklands Radio station in the last few days?

Standard scam message about a voice message that it’s urgent for us to hear – but it’s a compressed file attached so likely to be loaded with malicious code.

An email offering cheap new residential lets in Bradford city centre. This is just rubbish from interestingmail.biz looking for gullible people to reply.

An email from Tesco Online (actually from tescoships.com) offering the same £500 Tesco voucher they’ve been emailing about for 12 months now.

An apparently genuine email from AFA Industries in Lithuania trying to sell farm equipment. You gotta be kidding.

Roger Pitfield wants us to switch to his courier company for our overseas deliveries. Our deliveries overseas consist of Internet broadcasting – and you don’t need couriers for that. No Thanks.

These people just waste our time and clog up the Internet with rubbish.

Those Time-Wasters

So, what rubbish emails and calls have there been to Brooklands Radio station in the last few days?

An email titled ‘Part Payment’ claiming a part payment has been made and the final payment will be next week. But there is attached compressed file to be checked. A boring scammer wanting us to download their malicious content.

A Frederick Mayrhofer and his wife have chosen us to receive a donation of $1,000,000 from their jackpot win of $50,000,000. Isn’t that nice of the lying cheating scamming b*stards.

A warning from Barclays that our online account has been blocked and we need to click on the restore link which is actually a link to an email address [email protected]. Pathetic. The scammer couldn’t get Barclays right – it shows as <Barclays><Bank><PLC>

Boost capital offering us money to grow our business. We’re a volunteer organisation so not relevant to us. In any case, information on the Internet suggests they charge around 40% APR which is dreadful.

An idiot supposedly selling Rayban sunglasses at 81% off. But he can’t even spell summer (he put summber) and the company name at the bottom of the email doesn’t match the links in the middle or the senders address.

These people just waste our time and clog up the Internet with rubbish.
