An email from Anton Natan, who uses a Polish email address, arrives at the radio station. He claims his company has reviewed our website and determined to buy from us. The attached document supposedly contains details of the purchase and he just needs to know the delivery date and our chosen method of payment. An obvious scam of course as the radio station don’t sell any products and only scammers send these kinds of messages. Plus, the attached file is gz format meaning it is a compressed file and that is done by scammers trying to evade anti-virus checks.
An email to Brooklands Radio from Mark Schaefer of Nutritional Products International offers to help us with getting access to American markets for our products. The email is supposed to be to manufacturing companies but the domain name brooklandsradio.co.uk is obviously a radio station not a manufacturer. Is Mark Schaefer just stupid and/or lazy sending out spam messages or did the company buy cheap spam email address lists? Either way – it shows a company too dumb to work with but then as a radio station we don’t manufacture items for sale, so it is pointless.
Particularly in America there are lots of scams offering free electrical power – often by solar cells, wind turbines etc. These can provide sustainable power sources and can be relatively cheap to purchase and run, but they are not free. One latest scam offers a power-all adaptor plug that can power every electrical item in your home, for free. There is no explanation of what it is supposed to be, just random statements such as ‘Scientists preferred to flee than to face this life changing miracle”. Pathetic rubbish.
A very dumb company keeps emailing the radio station claiming they have proof we are owed a vast amount of money from overpaying local rates. But, we don’t pay rates as we don’t own any property so it’s just a scam.
A new scam is a combination of lottery, business investment and Bitcoin all mixed into one. The email offers the chance to own part of the world’s biggest digital lottery site allowing players in more than 180 countries to use Bitcoin to play. It claims a market opportunity of >$300 bn and a projected return of 20x. However, it does not exist and Bitcoin is not legal tender in most countries. Maybe one day but not yet. Currently this is a just a scammer’s fantasy.
