Another diet scam email says “Your diet will always fail because you’re missing the vital third element”. It goes on to explain that calorie control and exercise are the first two elements and describes how ‘useless’ and ineffective they are without that third element which turns losing weight into a simple process. To find this missing strand of weight control you just have to watch the video clip by clicking the link. Obviously it’s a simple scam message and the sender’s email address is @outthere.space which should be a domain name for an organisation involved with space travel, science fiction etc. not magic dieting methods.
“Hagler” from a 163.com email address offers me the opportunity to invest a fund worth between $10 million and $100 million and I get to keep 20% for myself and I also get a share of any profits – to be negotiated. 163.com is a free email provider for Chinese people and is used by large numbers of scammers. Why would anyone with lots of money offer it to an unknown person to invest and keep 20%. It is so ridiculous that you would think no-one could possibly believe it, but there may be some. Anything too good to be true is always going to be a scam.
“Good Day” from Mrs Ameena Essat is the start of the scammer’s email which then goes on to say she has already sent us an email and wonders if it was received. She would like us to reply so she can send details of an important message for us. I Never reply to such messages as it will result only in a lot more spam messages.
Still, the radio station gets dozens and dozens of offers every week to carry out SEO on our website. The sad part is that none of the morons sending in such emails have ever checked our website. They make claims such as ‘your website looks great but needs help to convert sales’ and ‘there are hundreds of broken links and we can fix that for you’ and ‘you too can have explosive growth from your web site with our help’. These same headlines and hundreds of similar ones turn up repeatedly and they are all rubbish. Most such offers are from criminals who simply take money and deliver no service but even the ones that are genuine are terrible and should be avoided. Anyone sending out such spam messages should be avoided at all costs. If you do want SEO or similar services for your website then find a local person or agency – preferably recommended by local people.
“Subject: Brooklands Radio Shared Document” is an email from document @securemailmessages.com sounds authentic but is rubbish. We don’t use such a service at the radio station and would not open documents from an unknown source. No thank you scammer.
