I wish BT would stop sending this.

Someone explained to me the other day that phishing/scam emails are intentionally written poorly to weed out the people who have enough brain cells to figure out at some point it's a scam.

That way they don't have to waste their time on people who are going to intentionally string them along or figure out it's a scam down the line and the people who do contact them are likely to be easy victims.

Made sense and I'd never thought of it that way.

There is no 'stringing along' in this case though - you either click the lick or you don't. It's not a 419 scam - so no you would want your email to look like it's from BT wouldn't you?

With that amount of repetition I reckon the panels will be double or treble efficient to bog standard panels. Get yourself signed up!

Back door bandit they call him!

The fact they’ve put a badly drawn mouse where the name should be is massive giveaway.

No its a used tampon

I won the Nigerian lottery, i've paid the deposit and the winnings will be with me anyday now.

Unfortunately I didn't read the terms of my email properly and it was kind of awkward when it turned out that my prize actually was a Nigerian prince. But to be fair since he moved in he's been no trouble.

 

[DXP55]

And another one. This looks a lot better.

No space between BT and internet rings alarm bells instantly.

Is it even called BT internet, isn’t it BT broadband?

Never realised that before. Makes sense so that only people who don't notice the poor spelling/grammar get sucked in.

Seems my birthday has been posted online as just got a email from
Immediate Edge.

They are telling me a balence of £20k is available for my account.
All I have to do is validate my account. That will come in handy.

Is this a scam ??

I would have said the main reason would be to avoid filters blocking it based on words and phrases. Which is happening less frequently these days as they like to put the body of the email in an image instead whch would requie sophisticated anti-phishing solutions that use AI to decipher the context.

There's some awesome channels on YT where people back-trace the scammers to India then hack their internal CCTV and watch people for days, hacking their own databases, getting real names etc then dump it all onto the Police and watch the raids happen in real-time!
