These folks usually send out millions of these, and someone falls for it, then posts an Aw Shit message. The quick and easy thing to do? A web search on the phony name and “SCAM”. This one has no “click me” so it is most likely not malware, but a Phishing scam trying to harvest email addresses, phone numbers, and /or con you into giving up a credit card. It is sent “in the blind” in that I have no clue who this is.
OK, first off, notice that the reply to address does not match the sender address. I require your urgent assistance in a business deal of mine, kindly contact me for more guidelines. OK, so here’s the email (I will hobble any links or addresses so they don’t work).įrom: Sgt. It might be Javascript (that I always turn off…) or worse. ANY click is granting action authority to some unknown program inside that email or web page. If a page reload doesn’t clear it, I just abandon the page and never return. NEVER EVER click on a “click me”!! I don’t even click “pop up close boxes” at web sites. Then, in the text, will be a “click me” of some sort. They often have either an elaborate story (Nigerian Prince anyone?) or nearly no story, just a “Curiosity Hook”.
In this posting, I’m looking at one of the worst kind. Also pretty easy to spot when you’ve been traded. Donate to a political campaign, you get “traded around” to others in that party. I bought a Solar Bears ticket 4? years ago and have had email from both Solar Bears and Ticketmaster ever since. Buy a ticket from Ticketmaster, and you are on their mailing list forever. I won’t say much more about them as they are usually very obvious. They are usually innocuous, but suck up time and space. The least obnoxious are the “mailing list” from a place you have joined or done business with. Since I must wade through buckets of email to filter out the few that matter, and many of those are various kinds of SPAM and SCAM, and I’m pretty good at picking them out… I thought maybe it would be helpful to illustrate them, and some of the simple ways to detect them.
I’ve decided to add a new series of postings.
