An email from sendbulk*.com tells me they offer unlimited mass mailings and are happy sending non permission based messages i.e. messages that no-one has agreed to. Disgraceful.
Yet another email warning. This one is from System Administrator to tell me the mailbox is over quota and needs to be upgraded. The message is actually from aniflex.pl and our mail servers are not in Poland so it’s fake.
Tan K. takes a challenging approach to emails. Starting with a complaint that he has been phoning our office and not getting a reply. He is desperate to place an order and wants to pay 50% up front and the rest on delivery. There is an attached file, claimed to be a proforma invoice for us to open. But it’s a compressed file in .arj format and no-one placing an order would do that – only a scammer trying to spread malware in our systems. DELETE.
An email from Jose Gomez to tell me he has a client with a huge amount of money who wants to form an investment partnership with me and that I should send him my phone number if interested. Just a scammer’s way to get people’s names and phone numbers.
A nameless person sent in an email titled ‘New purchase order and 30% deposit’ from a Chinese company. The attachment is supposed to a pro forma invoice and a payment but is in fact an ‘.html’ file, which means it’s a web page – no doubt designed to load malware onto the computer of anyone trusting enough to click on it. No thanks.
