Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night… nor a global pandemic will stop a scammer.
Sigh. Check out this “serious” email: Staying safe is the best way to survive this pandemic, how are you doing, I am yet to hear from you concerning my proposal, did you get my last email? Regards, Anzhelika Makotina Senior Sales Executive Kirishi Oil Refinery, Russia zhemako01@gmail.com Uhhmmmm… No. Did not get any proposal, nor do I want one. Two, ignoring your email is the best way to stay scam-safe. And three, f&ck your faux concern for my well-being in this pandemic. How about you accept my proposal: Eat a bag of sweaty d&cks, and die… Must be the quarantine wine talking… There are days where I'd rather have a plate of Spam than deal with spam email. Though spam email has provided some fodder for this blog on more than one occasion. Props for being a tad bit more savvy, scammers, but I see you! You might catch someone off guard with this. You're using the company name properly with the little "e" and capital "H". but... The weirdo fonts is a dead giveaway, and the "eHarmonyPartner" one-word thing. #FAIL This pic almost looks legit-- complete with "company" address and the "click to unsubscribe" link. Which I'm sure is some kind of virus. Oh, and I'm not single... so.. #FAIL Then there's this: Uhmmm. Am I supposed to hit "reply"? So glad you have a "genuine" investment op-- unlike the disingenuous ones/ Whew! #FAIL And then there's this one: I'm puzzled. Because I'm not a member. And I've never served in the military. So, I'm not going to validate you or me now,. And... what's with the blank picture. At least the eHarmony scam had a legit-ish pic. #FAIL |
