  • New Style Email Invoice SCAM – Your order summary from 365 Electrical

    This one was a bit random, but I actually quite admire the approach they have taken as with a bit more refinement they would have the PERFECT scam email!

    your oders summay SCAM email 1

    Ok, so the title, the email it was sent from, and the subject of the email DO NOT match. This is pointer number 1 that this is a hoax.

    beaut3

    But the content of the email looks fairly official, looks like the standard thing you would get as an order update email. 365 Electrical sounds legit too.

    The attachment was;

    beaut2

    Another word document with Macros in no doubt. DO NOT OPEN AND RUN MACROS.

    And then a few mins later I got this;

    beaut 4

    Same email but from another email account.

    Its worrying as they ARE getting closer to making these untraceable. JUst remember if you get something like this and the attachment is a WORD document or ZIP file or EXE file or something similar, then delete it and move on.

    You should only ever get invoices and similar docs in PDF format.

    Stay safe, peeps!

  • ANOTHER Simon Macbeth/Naylor Story | CON ARTIST

    –> Meet Simon Macbeth 🙂 <–

    My blog has been focused on one or two main subjects recently, so when I got this email it reminded me of how much of an assclown Simon Macbeth was. Another story from another traumatised couple who have been conned, cheated and whose life has been made a misery by the scumbag that is, Simon Macbeth.

    Hi I am just messaging you about Simon Macbeth/Naylor what ever this lowlifes name is these days

    Using alternative names eh? Simon Naylor, Simon Macbeth, Simon Conman?

    me and my X moved into the infamous 343 roundhay road now where do I start …

    Oh dear, this already sounds like an ordeal.

    Day 2 I received a email saying that we had been making too much noise after 11pm and this was our first warning and we owed £45 for the email he has just sent

    So he wanted to charge them £45 for sending an email? Wow, i’d be a multi billionaire!

    on the night in question, his then underaged girlfriend, me, my X partner and the other girl who lived down stairs were sat in our room drinking tea

    A Peado and also a conartist? Nice.

    2 days later I received another letter saying I hadn’t put the correct rubbish in the correct recycling bin and again was getting charged £45

    Seriously? I wonder if the £45 is to pay for the fingerprint analysis he must have used to find out that it was your rubbish? Unless he stalks people and watches them throw away their trash? Eww, fetish?

    the same day I received my third and final warning for not closing a internal door when I was stood in the wash room and again charges £45

    I see a trend here. Do something, get charged £45. Simple business model. Maybe it needs to be simple as I think I read that Simon was a bit of a drongo.

    then next day we had gone to visit a friend and approx 2 hours later I received a text saying all my belongings we on roundhay road and we could have our electrical equipment back when we gave him the keys

    This guy just gets douchier and douchier. Douchebag.

    upon doing so we got back out electrical items to find out he had cut the wires to everything.

    Oh lord. This is just childish and stinks of “loser” – he cant have any friends though so he has to entertain himself somehow. Better this than him raping dogs on the local dog park again. Still. Assholish.

    We then took the matter to the police/Solicitors and he then claimed my Jewelry and phone were his items that I had stolen luckily I had the receipts for these items.

    Wankstain.

    Unfortunately because of the money he had already scammed out of me I could no longer keep up the claim thought I would share my experience with you

    I hope he walks out in front of your car one day my dear – and that you can seek the revenge that you so deserve.

    Simon Macbeth, or Simon Naylor – you sir are one of the biggest assholes I have ever read about.

  • Invoice #993057-2016-03 – SCAM email

    Ive been very busy at work this week, and my inbox has had 10-20 emails unread in it constantly each day so far. I spotted this one sat in  the list and I was drawn to it as it referred to an invoice and I didn’t recognise the name so wanted to know what it was.

    Gmail completely missed the fact it was a scam/spam email – and it didn’t seem alarmed that the email contained a ZIP file attachment :/

    Didn’t open the attachment as it would obviously screw my PC over – but I find it highly alarming that this was allowed to get to my inbox and wasn’t picked up by gmail. Someone less knowledgable would have downloaded it and opened it and if their AV was crap it could have been game over.

    Stay safe peeps – even the best spam filters in the world will let you down every once in a while!

  • Clever “Automated Confirmation” SCAM EMAIL

    OK, so this email was formatted professionally, it contained my details, a CUSTOMER details and was quite worrying really…

    I think it’s actually more a phishing/hoax email that is sent out to get traffic to a website rather than infect your PC or steal your identity – but still it’s misleading!

    It was quite alarming to receive with it having such accurate info in – they must have got it from WHOIS records as the email they published of ours is only linked to that customer via their domain.

    I ignored it, and then got this a few days later!
