A message from HMRC Beneficiary Payments tells me my payment advice has been processed at the request of a customer. I just have to open the advice to see my payment. All lies of course.

Yet another warning from another scammer that my TV licence payment is due for renewal. It claims to be from tvlicensing.co.uk but is in fact from turpymobileapps.com which is obviously not TV Licensing.  Go to https://www.gov.uk/tv-licence for information and to buy a TV licence.

At the radio station, we regularly get emails claiming that our email service is overdue for payment and will be cancelled unless payment is received immediately.  There’s also the same sort of messages claiming our web site will be taken down, our web site data will be purged, our online security certificate will be cancelled, our online services will be deleted etc.  It’s all just rubbish as one glance at the sender’s email shows them to not be from the actual companies providing those services for the station. Latest one says “Web Termination Warning” and quotes an invoice number with 78 characters in it – bit of overkill there. All lies of course. Always check any such demand for money against the services you actually buy and their providers.

“People just like you are using this secret hypnotic method to manifest thousands of dollars every day”. For some, it may be nice to dream of a way of obtaining lots of money with no effort but there isn’t any such way.   Only scammers get money for nothing and they take it from hard working and often vulnerable people.

Yet another fake DHL delivery message but at least this latest one has a nice picture of a DHL aeroplane on the tarmac. The attached file that supposedly contains the details is in fact a .gz file which means it is compressed which is a technique used by scammers to try to stop spam filers from deleting the message. Pathetic.
