Do you post on a social media site relating to QF where some one might be able to figure out an email address?
A lot of people have this situation after wandering

It does tugs the heartstrings!

Huawei P40 lite can block certain words, have blocked, linkt, immi, love, money and about 50 other words, and also, can block phone/sms from certain country codes, which a good thing.
Granted that we or the buyer of that Huawei phone, has to give them data about ourselves.

You shouldn't click... never...
You only may check what is the hidden website link under the "click icon"... which usually is a trap....

 

[Cossie]

This morning, quite good, except some I'm not bronze, no membership number and the "Claim Now" link goes to a French domain.....

Scammers are probably the only ones that think I'm a rock star! back to radio silence.

Oh dear, similar to the one above only mine spammer wants USD

From:[email protected]

Hi there!

I regret to inform you about some sad news for you.
Approximately a month or two ago I have succeeded to gain a total access to all your devices utilized for browsing internet.
Moving forward, I have started observing your internet activities on continuous basis.

Go ahead and take a look at the sequence of events provided below for your reference:
Initially I bought an exclusive access from hackers to a long list of email accounts (in today's world, that is really a common thing, which can arranged via internet).
Evidently, it wasn't hard for me to proceed with logging in your email account

Within the same week, I moved on with installing a Trojan virus in Operating Systems for all devices that you use to login to email.
Frankly speaking, it wasn't a challenging task for me at all (since you were kind enough to click some of the links in your inbox emails before).
Yeah, geniuses are among us.

Because of this Trojan I am able to gain access to entire set of controllers in devices (e.g., your video camera, keyboard, microphone and others).
As result, I effortlessly downloaded all data, as well as photos, web browsing history and other types of data to my servers.
Moreover, I have access to all social networks accounts that you regularly use, including emails, including chat history, messengers, contacts list etc.
My unique virus is incessantly refreshing its signatures (due to control by a driver), and hence remains undetected by any type of antiviruses.

Hence, I guess by now you can already see the reason why I always remained undetected until this very letter...

During the process of compilation of all the materials associated with you,
I also noticed that you are a huge supporter and regular user of websites hosting nasty adult content.
Turns out to be, you really love visiting cough websites, as well as watching exciting videos and enduring unforgettable pleasures.
As a matter of fact, I was not able to withstand the temptation, but to record certain nasty solo action with you in main role,
and later produced a few videos exposing your masturbation and coughming scenes.

If until now you don't believe me, all I need is one-two mouse clicks to make all those videos with everyone you know,
including your friends, colleagues, relatives and others.
Moreover, I am able to upload all that video content online for everyone to see.
I sincerely think, you certainly would not wish such incidents to take place, in view of the lustful things demonstrated in your commonly watched videos,
(you absolutely know what I mean by that) it will cause a huge adversity for you.

There is still a solution to this matter, and here is what you need to do:
You make a transaction of $1490 USD to my account (an equivalent in bitcoins, which recorded depending on the exchange rate at the date of funds transfer),
hence upon receiving the transfer, I will immediately get rid of all those lustful videos without delay.
After that we can make it look like there was nothing happening beforehand.
Additionally, I can confirm that all the Trojan software is going to be disabled and erased from all devices that you use. You have nothing to worry about,
because I keep my word at all times.

That is indeed a beneficial bargain that comes with a relatively reduced price,
taking into consideration that your profile and traffic were under close monitoring during a long time frame.
If you are still unclear regarding how to buy and perform transactions with bitcoins - everything is available online.

Below is my bitcoin wallet for your further reference: 1NHcykbxttkaUy2swLFHmVTKgyvA7d66DV

All you have is 48 hours and the countdown begins once this email is opened (in other words 2 days).

The following list includes things you should remember and avoid doing:
> There's no point to try replying my email (since this email and return address were created inside your inbox).
> There's no point in calling police or any other types of security services either. Furthermore, don't you dare sharing this info with any of your friends.
If I discover that (taking into consideration my skills, it will be really simple, because I control all your systems and continuously monitor them)
your nasty clip will be shared with public straight away.
> There's no point in looking for me too - it won't result in any success. Transactions with cryptocurrency are completely anonymous and untraceable.
> There's no point in reinstalling your OS on devices or trying to throw them away. That won't solve the issue,
since all clips with you as main character are already uploaded on remote servers.

Things that may be concerning you:
> That funds transfer won't be delivered to me.
Breathe out, I can track down everything right away, so once funds transfer is finished,
I will know for sure, since I interminably track down all activities done by you (my Trojan virus controls all processes remotely, just as TeamViewer).
> That your videos will be distributed, even though you have completed money transfer to my wallet.
Trust me, it is worthless for me to still bother you after money transfer is successful. Moreover, if that was ever part of my plan, I would do make it happen way earlier!

We are going to approach and deal with it in a clear manner!

In conclusion, I'd like to recommend one more thing... after this you need to make certain you don't get involved in similar kind of unpleasant events anymore!
My recommendation - ensure all your passwords are replaced with new ones on a regular basis.

Dammit. I've been noodling round on my computer for years, & have I ever received any spam chatting to me about enduring unforgettable pleasures? I have not. I feel quite left out.

Unbelievable, invitation to the Covid-19 money


-------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Friend ,

I got your contact email address on the internet in my search for a reputable, reliable, and trustworthy person who can stand confidently with me.

My name is Mr. D.C Williams, I am in the Office of Auditing and Accounting Management Department of Citi Bank Plc here in USA. I am writing in respect of a foreign customer of my Bank (Anthony P. of your country) who died on the 24th of March, 2020 due to this recent Corona-virus pandemic.

There was an account opened in my Bank by this late INDUSTRIALIST/CONTRACTOR who died without a written or Oral WILL and Next of Kin information attached to the account, and no other person knows about this account or anything concerning it, because the account has no other beneficiary or Next of Kin until his death.

Meanwhile, the Banking ethics here does not allow an account to stay dormant more than a year without being operated, hence the money deposited in the said account will be confiscated as unclaimed funds after the long period of dormancy.

So, it is in light of these development that I am compelled to seek your indulgence and active participation in a well thought out scheme for you to act as the Next of Kin and foreign beneficiary of the fund from the deceased, since it is certain that no one will show up to be the Next of Kin to claim the funds.

The total amount involved is $2.5 million Dollars, but I wish to start the first transfer with half of the total fund. Upon successful transaction without any disappointment from your side, then you shall re-apply for the transfer of the remaining balance into your account.

I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is 100% risk free and that you should not entertain any fear as all modalities for fund transfer can be finalized within a few banking days after you apply to my Bank as the beneficiary of the fund from the deceased.

The only risk I foresee here is you alerting my Bank or your refusal to work with me.

So, I would like you to treat this transaction with utmost confidentiality between me and you alone. I promise to always have direct communication with you on how this transfer will go successfully, if only you can abide by my instruction.

Upon receipt of your reply, I will give you full details on how the transfers will be executed and I can obtain and manipulate all vital documents necessary for a successful transfer of the fund into your bank account.

I look forward to your quick response. Thanks and trusting to hear from you immediately.Reply here: [email protected]

Best Regards,
Mr. D.C Williams
(Auditor)

A new one, well actually two of the same scam e-mail that came in very closely together, for me. Supposedly to do with "Google Photos" and how to get free "Google Photos space easily and quickly". I haven't tried to copy it across as there are 6 'lines' on the message and 5 of them are links to very doubtful destinations

Wow - this is very long from Interpol

Greetings

I am Michael A. Hughes, the director of Interpol Investigation Office Washington Dc. USA. This email is to notify you about the release of your outstanding payment which is truly $3.5million. The Federal Government scheduled a time frame to settle all foreign debts which includes Contract/Inheritance/Compensation/Lottery and other internal loans. News had it that over the past, numerous individual(s) who happen to be impostors (claiming to be individuals, banks and organizations) are claiming to release numerous sums of funds via numerous ways.

With the help of our office INTERPOL and the Federal Bureau Of Investigation we have noticed that you have been asked to pay an outrageous amount of money by these impostors for the transfer of your funds to you. We want you to stop all communication that has to do with these fraudsters who have been requesting unreasonable sums of money from you to release your funds which they do not have access to.

We have received a mandate and instructions from the United State Government together with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the Federal Bureau of Investigation to commence the immediate release of your funds through the payment option below:

Payment via Automatic Teller Machine (ATM card): This is where you will be sent an Automatic Teller Machine card also known as ATM card (Debit Card issued by MasterCard). Upon receipt of your ATM card you will be allowed to withdraw $10,000.00 per day by default and you are given the option to increase the withdrawal limit of your card to a range of $20,000.00 if you want.

You are advised to communicate with us immediately when you read these emails regarding your $3.5 million. Your ATM card will be shipped via Fedex Shipping Company and would get to you within 48 hours at most.

DO NOT SEND MONEY TO ANYONE UNTIL YOU READ THIS: The actual fees for shipping your ATM card is $135.99 but because Fedex have temporarily discontinued the C.O.D which gives you the chance to pay when package is delivered for international shipping as stated on their website. We had to sign a contract with them for bulk shipping which makes the fees reduce from the actual $135.99 to $85 nothing more and no hidden fees of any sort!

This measure is intended to stop the impostors you have erroneously been dealing with. You are to adhere strictly to the instructions above for more information contact us via Email ([email protected]_).

Remember that you are not paying any fees extra no matter what. Once again note that the actual Fedex Retail Price is: $135.99, and Price was reduced (Because of our contract signed) to $85. Get back to us as soon as possible to ensure that you receive your payment this week.

Yours sincerely,

Michael A. Hughes

INTERPOL Washington DC. USA.

So I've received this from Hotmail

Dear JohnK

I am the representative of Customer support center at Hotmail.

We recently received 42 complaints about your email account. This is the final warning before your account is suspended.

Complaint ID: 545687546
Complaint Received from: Hotmail
Complaints: Sending malware and viruses

Thousands of spam messages have been sent from your email address. We now need clarification to avoid email account deletion.
We recommend installing an antivirus program, we will choose the best one for you.

Scan for viruses (button)

And that's it.

Then 3 days later I receive same email from Yahoo support.

The a few hours later I receive same email from Microsoft - Outlook - Hotmail support.

LOL. Stupid people.

 

[AustraliaPoochie]

Johnk, if you hover over the emails, or follow the path backwards, you might find its the same sender from the begining.
Most likely they want log in details, ie, use name and passwords.
Life's too short to do tracking/tracing, and our Aust govt seems to be lasse farre about these sort of things, esp scam sms etc.
Some say what can they do, maybe they could get the Aust telecom companies to toughen and do some 04xx tracking.
Just doing some waffling, not that I can do anything, except block and delete emails and sms's.

 

[JohnK]

Yes @AustraliaPoochie it is the same sender from CBS Sports Interactive. Another identity theft.
