Covid-19 scams already targeting sing shops

I have been getting then for years.... I never knew anyone in business that spoke like this... that was my first clue... The wording always gives them away.

 

Is it a singing sign ??

 

Anytime they ask for your "online portal" , it should be a cause for concern.

 

How are these mass order banner scams even able to work? Does anyone actually fall for one of these things?

It has been at least a year or more since I last received an email from one of these scammers. Usually the person is asking for something like 200 or so banners with some odd message on it like "Jesus loves the children" or whatever. But the messages never contain anything that looks like real contact info, much less enough specifics to even put together a bid. The messages are simply very easy to ignore and delete.

 

I got one yesterday from the 'SBA' saying my grant had been approved. It had a file attached in a format I was not familiar with that the virus scanner said was a 'back door' (inspiring my lockpicking video link).
Watch out for those backdoors.....

 

Yeah, the poor grammar, lack of proper punctuation, and words like “portal” are always a clear giveaway!

 

I really like the ones sent with a "RE:" in the subject line -as if these scammers are actually replying to something I wrote. Maybe one of my multiple personalities sent that message, asking to be scammed, when I didn't know about it! Nevertheless, those strange "RE:" messages are even easier to delete. No preview. Zero acknowledgement. Nothing. Just DELETE.

 

I had one of those scammer contact me about a side business I was running. I was bored so I kept stringing them along. It was a Nigerian Scam type scheme. I got the check and showed it to my bank and we all had a good laugh. But I was a little disappointed when they wouldn't give me back the check. I had planned to frame it and keep enjoying the laugh. FWIW, they wanted to buy pepper spray and stun guns as gifts for a 50th wedding anniversary party. lol

 

this is the answer for email spammers etc. Jim veitch has a couple of you tube videos He has 2 about email spams and another about room mates. Give you something to ponder

I saw it, but I do that all the time too. We make Sings!

 

He types with a lisp.

 

Not about Nigerians targeting karaoke bars then?

 

if that's what you base it upon, then just about every member HERE, has the same qualifications.

 

Yowsa..... you still didn't become a 'premium' subscriber. How come ??
