Online reviews of products, services and companies are increasingly important as more and more people check reviews before purchasing. This creates space for bad reviews to damage business (rightly or wrongly) and for people to offer to remove bad reviews for a price. Typical email title is “Is a bad review destroying your reputation”. Better to ignore people offering these services as you don’t know what they can actually do, if anything. If you have bad reviews and there is any justification for them then fix your problems. If you believe the bad reviews are fake – report them to the relevant website.
Dr. Ryan Shelton wants to give me a gift that will wipe 10 years off my age. I assume he means something that will make me look 10 years younger as opposed to something that will actually change my biological age. The message has strange contents including a line about a “few wrinkles that could caused you to consider something that could end your life”. Just a simple scam of course – there is no free gift and no anti-aging formula.
Yet another detox scam. This one goes to great length about 10 day lemonade cleanses, 7 day green juice detoxes and other yuk sounding exercises and tries to discredit all of them. But her product is supposedly far better than any alternative – a one day cleanse that helps you lose weight (Yup – not eating for one day will drop a little weight off you and paying for the scammer’s product will reduce the weight of your wallet), save you time and money and give you a big advantage over everyone else. No – it’s just a typical scam and there is no product.
Al Ain Convention Centre claim they want to book our venue and facilities for a conference meeting in Abu Dhabi. Date and time unspecified as no doubt the scammer will send out the same message many times. They’ll be out of luck as we don’t have a conference centre anywhere let alone one in Abu Dhabi. Plus, why would anyone other than a dumb scammer send an email claiming to be from a conference centre wanting to book another one?
An email tells me that my mailbox is almost full and has a little graphic showing an almost full mailbox. But I have never heard of letras.up.pt and the ‘pt’ means it is from an email address registered in Portugal. Not mine.
