Seriously, I’m getting spam selling shed plans and kits now.

Well, you know, it's important to have a diversified business portfolio but still 12000 is a lot of shed plans. A lot of the spam I see at the moment is telling me I have unread messages on Facebook that will be deleted if I don't log in (though this highly convenient link in the message). The great thing is, I was getting these before I had a FB account. The other popular one is the one telling me there has been unusual activity on my Apple ID so it's been suspended.

My favourite was the septic tanks I just had to invest in.

I don't get much spam, but when I do it's usually from (cough) Paypal (couch). The other spam I get is usually advertising cheap degrees (or other formal qualifications). I suspect this is a result of having to register my CV online with a load of job sites to try and get work.

Just had another call from "Microsoft Support". You'd think they would have moved on from this one by now.

They'll keep it up as long as it's making money which is presumably still is.

Piano lessons now. Actually something I'd consider, but not from a spammy source.

Looks like my Apple ID has been suspended or something. Thankfully, it’s alerted me to the fact that this is not spam. I’d have been forced to ignore it otherwise.

Well quite. I especially liked being referred to as AppleID rather than an name or any sort of normal stab at a sensible opening.

My current favourite - I'm seeing it about once a week: | | | | Quote: Hey there guy, My personal nick in the deep web is "eastcoastelectricalinc". I am going to begin with saying that I got a logins to your mailbox (you may want to check 'from' in mail header) a little more than 6 months ago. By using it I've impacted your computer with a malware program developed by myself and have been monitoring you endlessly. Even in the event you varied the password after that point - it doesn't make any matter, my virus sniffed all the caching records on your private personal computer and quickly opened accessibility for me. I have access to each of your accounts, social networks, email, browsing history. In this way, I got information of many your personal contacts, data files from your PC, and also photos and videos. Wow. I was seriously struck with the sexual content websites which you visit frequently. You've got a very excentric imagination, As I can tell now! While you was spending amusement and entertainment at one of such pages, I received screenshot with your webcam, and also what you're observing. Oh my god! You really are so funny and interesting! I do think that you do not want all your close people to see these records, right? If you are of the same opinion, then I do think that $500 is pretty fair price to destroy the dirt I have prepared.
Send the above amount on my bitcoin wallet: 16CLg8dp2Vs73oZxGDuGsNN7MbvE6MRstD
As soon as the specified sum will be received, I guarantee that your data will be cleaned up, I don't need it. Alternatively, the listed digital files and browsing history will be sent to all contacts from your device. Additionally, I'll broadcast to everyone the access to your email and access logs, I've carefully saved it! After opening this e-mail you have got two days! I'll obtain an automatic reminder that you have read the letter. I really hope I trained you a very good lesson. Don't be so nonchalant, please visit only recommended resources, and you should not enter your passwords anywhere! Best wishes! | | | | |
