419 Scam of the Day [Email Scams, Phishing, etc.]

I ditched it long long time ago. As with many things, starts cool then became bloatware with unclear agenda or/and owner

on the topic, :school: I’ve just learned that Twint has a way to limit possible damage made by scammers utilizing it for their campaigns. It has not only daily/monthly spending limit, but also receiving limit!

Just got an AXA refund one. Since we’re not with AXA …

I got a very convincing email that my domain renewal is due from [email protected]

It is indeed due in a couple of weeks

But the amount was wrong, Metanet changed their prices last month, and the link they gave me to pay didn’t have the Metanet address.

First reaction is panic. “Has he really gotten into all my porn downloads?”

What’s your website?

hmmmm… so metanet has been hacked and they have your email? or you didn’t pay for the anonymization in ‘whois’?

Funny I didn’t take my car out on boxing day :joy:

Doesn’t sound convincing to me.

Two problems with this

  1. Swisspass is free
  2. the link does not point to swisspass

3, Swisspass isn’t from the SBB.

No. But the ticketing from SBB is done through swisspass

If one has an Infomaniak email account, they can report a phishing attempt and the administration will review. they take it very seriously.

Got this text/SMS:

[TikTok] 59XXXX is your verification code, valid for 5 minutes. To keep your account safe, never forward this code.

I don’t have Tik Tok! (XXXX is me)

Miss-keyed my phone number??

perhaps there’s a fake link under the tiktok logo? If you had an account there you might have been tricked to check what’s going on with your account by clicking on the logo…

and another,

This came to an address I did use only one time when ordering something at “Under Armour”. They got hacked or sold my e-mail…

Looks to me like a typical extortion message from either MS, Google or Apple.

Yes, it does. But I don’t use a paid service at any of those places and then why would they send it to my Under Armour specific mail address?

That is the link DO NOT CLICK!
