Holiday City Travel say they want to add us, free of charge, to the holiday company register. Don’t any of these morons check who they are sending emails to?
A scammer named Didik offers us the chance to buy the [radio station].com domain name. But a simple check shows that it is an unregistered domain name so anyone can buy it for £1.99 first year currently. It’s of no use to us, so we’re no interested. If we replied that we were interested, then ‘Didik’ would buy the domain name for next to nothing and try selling it to us at a high price. If you do want one or more domain names, then shop around – and don’t be taken in by this kind of email.
Dimosthenes lists a series of part numbers and wants us to advise cost, discount, payment terms, transportation costs to Greece and delivery time for the below item (or alternative solution). Radio stations don’t sell parts so is an obvious scam.
A series of emails arrive at about the same time with titles such as “What an Interesting Offer”, “Open for a remarkable offer”, “Special offer just for you”, “Fabulous Offer enclosed” and so on. They are all from random email addresses i.e. ones with lots of numbers in them and are clearly made up by a computer. The messages have identical content – just a link to click. No thanks – won’t be clicking on any of those.
A message from Katherine claims she is currently working on behalf of a major industry-leading client trying to enhance their brand via editorial content and whilst looking for opportunities, came across our website brooklandsradio.co.uk. She wants to place sponsored content on our site. But she has an email address that shows she works in the gambling industry. No thanks. Gambling and community radio do not go together.
