 Topic: Scammers
Posted: 29 Jun 2023 at 5:01am |

Been a flurry of ‘Your account is Locked’ or ‘Have Suspended all Activity’ or ‘Need to contact paypal at a odd phone number even “Your Norton Account Billing is Ready For Payment” over the last few weeks. I report them as spamming or phishing and they vanish a short time.
I generally look at the source email(is often a personal address or a no name) but they return. Guess they are too stupid to realize their address is visible or that I in having said accounts can pull them up to validate the concern is false.
Scammers are quite active trying to sucker people into giving them passwords or access codes. Be on your guards!!

I get a lot of phone scammers, like 'your AMAZON account has an iphone purchase'. when I'm in the 'mood' , I'll play with them,seeing how I don't have an AMAZON account and would never buy APPLE products. Currently have real answering machine set to 3 rings and call display. While the number shows up a lot have 'unavailable caller' and not the person's name. I don't answer,let the machine do it's job.99.44% of the time, NO message...just a SCAMMER's computer calling.

Thing is to hover over the name of who the mail is from and the name of the e-mil service will come up - as some of the dang scams will unload a pack of junk if you open it .
So now i block sender if I can or report them back to the place they say they are SUPPOSE to be from .
seems g-mail is the address on most now and I get around 5 or so of them a day and another 5 or so in junk mail that is filtered out .
Somehow the CASINO adds are another big one of how to get rich playing online sites or other gambling games .

Life lesson: If you’re being chased by a lion, you’re on a horse, to the left of you is a giraffe and on the right is a unicorn, what do you do? You stop drinking and get off the carousel.

I don't know what is going on of late but in last 2 weeks I get around 20 SPAM males a day now , most are filtered into Junk Mail folder but still irks me that I get any as you would think they would be stopped by the mail account and deleted before forwarding .
Problem some are coming into the main mail page now also so just report them but wonder if it does any good

Got an email in my normal inbox from Netflix saying my account would be locked if payment wasn't made.
Go ahead, lock it! I NEVER have had Netflix.

They are running short on targets, been scamming so long everyone of sense is on to them so Marks are not prevalent nor financially viable.
