Interesting spam e-mails received

[HEM 10,704]

Luckily I do not have any dealings with the Volksbank as at least 4 similar mails have come this year - here one example...

Hovering the cursor over the "Von:  Volksbank" reveals chrdza*****@musicisit.au  (where *** were 4 digits).

 

Hovering the cursor over the "Login Online Banking" releals jennifercovington.com/<jumble of characters>

 

If these guys ever start to write correct German they might have more success - on other hand I've read some genuine letters full of errors from a certain UK bank.

Good luck to Gemma.

Almost all of the letters m and n have been capitalised  double nn changed only to nN).

Thats a lot of work for $1797 !

 

Bitcoin address is in the bitcoinabuse database.

 

Otherwise - quite a plausible scam.

 

Now if only they'd mentioned me spending too time on sailing sites

I would be tempted to pay up...

If someone put videos of me on my laptop online that would be literally the most boring half hour of people's lives. I pick my nose sometimes. Not sure hiding that is worth $1797!

I have been donated millions of dollars from multiple " reputable " sources today. I don't know where to start. That new car we've been talking about for ages? That villa in Dubai?

I need to give it some thought.

In fact, I have my camera disabled. It is crap. I plug in an external one once a month for a Zoom meeting and then unplug it.

Not quite spam, but I just got an e-mail from easyJet with the subject line "there's up to 25% off, what are you waiting for?"

 

Uhhh, maybe for the pandemic to settle down just a tad?

 

Fuckwits.

Oh, that post was funny.

For anyone who doesn't use the built in camera on a laptops/tablets, use a 1c sticker over the camera. Even 0c if you peel it off a banana or orange and reuse it.

REF: LCBQ/EUR/ES204-18

November 15TH, 2018.

Hello,

Please accept my apologies if this request does not meet your personal ethics as it is not intended to cause you any embarrassment in what so ever form. I got your contact from internet directory and decided to contact you for this transaction that is based on trust and your outstanding, I have an interesting business proposal for you that will be of immense benefit to both of us, Although this may be hard for you to believe, but we stand to gain Huge Amount between us in a matter of weeks, Please grant me the benefit of doubt and hear me out.

With due respect My name is Mrs. Nastac Elisabeta Bayarmaa, a Banker here in Spain! Late Mr. Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha Chairman of the King Power, a thailand billionaire businessman and the founder owner and chairman of King Power Duty Free. He was also the owner of England Premier League football club Leicester City from 2010 until his death in a 27th October, 2018 helicopter accident made a fixed deposit with my bank in 2015 valued at €35,500,000.00 (Thirty Five Million Five Hundred Thousand Euros) the due date for this deposit contract was last 30th of September 2018. Sadly Vichai was among the death victims in 27th, Oct 2018 in England helicopter accident that killed all 5 people in the helicopter, He was in England for Leicester home game which after the football match where he met his untimely end, My bank management is yet to know about his death, I knew about it because he was a friend and I am his Account Officer. Vichai did not mention any Next of Kin/Heir when the account was opened.

If my Bank Directors happens to know that Vichai is dead and do not have any Heir, they will take the funds for their personal use, That is why I am seeking your co-operation to present you as Beneficiary to the account, since you are a foreigner and my bank head quarters will release the account to you, There is no risk involved; this transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect us from any breach of law, It is better that we claim the money than allowing the Bank Directors to take it, they are rich already. I am not a greedy person, so I am suggesting we share the funds in this ratio, 50/50%, equal sharing. Let me know your mind on this and please do treat this information highly confidential.

Check web for more info about the helicopter accident: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2018/10/29/leicester-city-owner-confirmed-dead-helicopter-crash-along/

We shall go over the details once I receive your urgent response.

Have a nice day. Anticipating your communication.

Mrs. Nastac Elisabeta Bayarmaa
