Beware the email hackers/scammers



Recommended Posts

Anyone else received a dodgy email today like the below, requesting that you respond to someone offline and with your private email address?

"hello dear, my Name is miss ******* i am here to seek for your friendship please contact me to tell you more about me (*********@yahoo.com)please my good lovely friend do not contact me in this site try to contact me in my privet Email id with your own contact Email address,"

If you have, I wouldn't respond to it. I disliked the look of it so much, I reported it. Looks decidedly like an intro to email hacking/scamming/419 fraud.

'You can have a million dollars.. I have 200 million in an offshore account.. sadly, I need $350 dollars to process the paperwork to receive the money. If you send that to my bank account, I will send you a million dollars on release of the funds.' ........

Gotta love the 419......

I only respond to the ones that offer me a million dollars or come with a naughty picture :P

What is your email address? I don't have a million dollars but I can take some naughty pictures if you like. I read Big Country's book.

That's because you are just trying to find ways for me to sit on your lap again..,,

There was a bunch of spam on the forum last night. I tried to report it but the button didn't work.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
