Do you want me to remove you from my Mailing List?
If I'm on your list, then you're probably already "at risk" from"Rosalba" from"her" finding out what YOU have been "up to", you "naughty man":-rofl2

The "damage" to you, such as it might be, has probably already been done - IF you believe all that crap! :D

"Choice" is your's! :D

Warning - "Amazon"- phishing/scam calls

Yesterday (and before I ordered that stuff mentioned in the new "Autobot" thread) we got a phone call purporting to be from Amazon and saying something along the lines of "there is a problem with your order, press 1 to be connected to someone". Sounded "almost genuine", but immediately suspecting something, I hung up the phone - and we've not had another like that (so far!) so I'm failry convinced it was a phoney call.

Nasty spam in my mailbox today targeting TV Licence holders. Grammar/punctuation good for a change. Could trick someone not sure of their renewal date.

Link goes to Sweden :-ohmy

No problem for me - free here ( for the present...)

It's not that good in terms of speling (sic), though.

The very first line says .... TV License ..... not TV Licence

And it refers to you Direct Debit, not your Direct Debit

Nevertheless, it is going to be believed by some.

Well spotted :Y

A US spelling of licence, spammer probably using spellcheck - I did notice the word was auto-underlined when I posted.

The delivery agent won't have any problem entering the country, crawling with covid-19 or not - apparently there's no checking of incomers for nasties at Heathrow ATM.

You would think they would at least learn to spell the name of the company they are pretending to be, however the original one actually got through the spam filter

Bit of a long one this but worth the read!

Dear Sir/Ma.

My name is Mr. Geoffrey Mudenzi" a senior government official in
department of Public Works & Infrastructure here in South Africa, I am
the Chief of Staff in charge for contract awards / execution. also the
supervisor of all contracts in Department Of Public Works &
Infrastructure. In 2019, I personally monitored and supervised the
awarded contracts for supplies of building materials and constructions
of ultra modern shopping malls, low cost housing units, airports
maintenance and Stadiums to Improve the standard of living in this
country, In the Eastern Cape, Western Cape, Natal and Gauteng
provinces here in South Africa.

My colleague and I serving in the board deliberately inflated and over
invoiced the contract sum, living an excess of US$30, 000,000.00
(Thirty Million United States Dollars Only). At the completion of the
contracts, the real contract sum was paid to the original contractors,
living the excess, which we reported to the Government that it
belonged to the sub-contractor that handled part of the original
contract. But the company we submitted as the beneficiary was
non-existing foreign company, which was a purported attempt by us to
divert the money for our private use. I do not intend to mince words
with you, I have to tell you the truth; this is a deal but completely
risk-free and genuine because the contract has been perfectly and
genuinely executed and completed. It depends on whether you are
interested or not.

Right now this amount is due for payment and is floating in the
treasury not attached to anyone/company. We are only two people who
know the origin of this fund. But we cannot claim it by ourselves
because we are civil servants therefore we are looking for a
trustworthy foreign company / individual whose name can be used to
claim this money for our mutual benefit.

This is strictly a business deal, but it’s completely risk-free and
secure because we will use our official positions to source all the
necessary approvals, official documents and certificates that will
back up the fund to reflect that you/your company genuinely executed
and completed the contract. All necessary arrangements have been put
in place in all the relevant departments for immediate approval of
this payment.

For your co-operation, we have agreed to offer you 2.5% of the entire
amount on conclusion of the transaction while 75% will be for us.
Please if you are interested in this proposal, I want you to respond
immediately through my personal e-mail account stated below for
further information and directives.

This transaction is expected to be completed within 5 or 8 work days
and is highly confidential and discreet. Thank you for your
co-operation. Your urgent reply is awaited through my private email
accounts below.

Best Regards,

Mr. Geoffrey Mudenzi.

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

Not written spam, but I've had a message left on the office mobile, a computer generated voice purporting to be from HMRC suggesting that unless I press '1' at the end of the call, the police will come and arrest me before close of day.

No doubt the mobile number in the screenlog is spoofed

Yes I think most people have had them us included although my 96 year old neighbour became very upset when she received one, I suspect however she gave as good back down the line to the robot at the other end. We are inundated with Amazon automated voice crap at the moment, I have just about decided that the landline is coming out at the end of this contract in 2022. We never make calls on it and only really have it for broadband and spam
