Just phishing crap, must be the cost of living crisis bringing them out in force, but I'll bet they still con some folks with their pish. Don't get many phone calls, mobile is set to block any unknown number and house phone has caller display so any number I don't know I simply don't answer it. I've been getting those emails on and off for years. A random website you've given your email address to will have been hacked resulting in your email ending up on a list of targets for this kind of crap.

When I last got one, last week, I looked up the Bitcoin wallet they wanted paid into and saw that in the previous week, it had received 2 payments totalling over $1300. So some poor buggers must actually fall for it.🤬 If you get another one, if you copy&paste their Bitcoin wallet address into this site and you'll see any transactions on the wallet. https://bitref.com/ I just checked the wallet address on the same dodgy email that I got a couple of weeks ago. $4203 from 7 transactions over 4 days.

I know my email (well one of them) was being sold on the dark web following a data breach of a company I'd bought stuff from several years ago. That's why I'm getting all this shit now, just kept the email address but changed all my passwords. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 My main email reached a stage where I was getting in excess of 100 spam emails a day at one point. And then after the news story about the guys in the north of England (may have been Hull) being arrested they very quickly went to 0.

Does that mean you earn £250 for the first 25 minutes, and £8,250 for the next 20? In that case, I think we should send in one of our more gullible Terrace contributors to do the first 25. While they're away happily counting their small change, you and I can do 10 minutes each and split the £8,250.

Jambo-Jimbo Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Recently I've been getting Google Verification Code texts on my mobile phone. First of all, I don't have two step verification set up on my gmail account, nor does Google have my phone number associated with that account either. I've added them to my blocked list, so at least I won't get pestered at 3.30 am with a text message. If it comes to it, I'll just close down the gmail account, I don't currently use it, so won't miss it. Anybody else getting these texts?
