Scam attempts: Aren’t they cute?

November 5, 2009 By Robert Owen

Howdy all! I hope all is well for everyone this fine day! Today, I got a fresh scan attempt in my e-mail.  This one is interesting in that fact that  it abandons the old  "Hey, I'm in another country and my pop died and I need to funnel his money out..." route.  This is attempting to lure you in by embracing the whole "random internet user" thing... In fact it addressees  it's opening remarks to "Internet User"... Is this supposed to give you a sense of security?  I don't know but, from … [Read more...]

Email Scam: Taking the Military Tact

August 29, 2009 By Robert Owen

Oh You... Spammers! It's amazing the tactics that these Spammers go through to try and steal money from you.  This one is attempting to target our Patriotic feelings by claiming to be coming from an America Soldier. Hello friend, My name is Scott Whittington, I am an American soldier, I am serving in the military with the 1st Armored Division in Iraq , as you know we are being attacked by insurgents everyday and car bombs.We managed to move part of funds belonging to Saddam Hussein's … [Read more...]

Spam: It is inventive.

June 22, 2009 By Robert Owen

Here is the latest Scam e-mail I've gotten.  Don't be fooled! This is a scam! This e-mail came to one of my e-mail accounts today from different senders and IP addresses but the machine sending names were the same. AND, the content was identical. It looks as though some has a mass-mailer sitting on their machine. Just a reminder to make sure your updates are current!! Here are the mail headers: 1st: Received: from xxxxxxxx; Sat, 20 Jun 2009 19:05:55 -0400 Received: from … [Read more...]

Email Scam – Trying another route

June 15, 2009 By Robert Owen

I got another Scam attempt in the e-mail tonight and thought I would share. I may have to make a whole new section of the site for these pitiful attempts. I guess it must sucker somebody, else they wouldn't continue the effort. Maybe since I've ignored all of their other attempts, they decided they needed to switch directions. Received: from cantv.net (rs20s9.datacenter.cha.cantv.net [200.109.127.76]) by rs26s12.datacenter.cha.cantv.net (8.14.3/8.14.3/3.0) with ESMTP id n5F10Xop008234; Sun, … [Read more...]

Another Spammer Mail

May 20, 2009 By Robert Owen

Here's another variation on that silly, "We've got some money for you" e-mail scam. Oh and, FYI, the spelling errors are the Spammer's not mine. Obviously spammers cannot afford spell checkers. This is a scam!  If you get this, delete it.  After making fun of it of course. ATTENTION THIS IS TO ALERT YOU THAT THE POLICE HAVE GOT THOSE THAT EXTORT MONEY FROM YOU IN AFRICA WE ARE ABLE TO GET YOUR EMAIL THROUGH ONE OF THE CRIMINAL . THE GOVERNIOR OF THIS COUNTRY MR NELSON BEN ARE REWARDING … [Read more...]
