Funniest Phishing Email Scam


These Phishing Scams are just too freaking funny.
BEWARE OF THIS EMAIL. BUT DON’T WORRY. THE TWAT IS JUST TRYING TO SCARE YOU.
EVERYTHING STATED AND BADLY MISSPELLED IN HERE IS JUST UTTERLY UNTRUE AND CAN BE IGNORED.
---||---
Subject: This account has been hacked! Change your password right now!
You may not know me and you are probably wondering why you are getting this e mail, right?
I'm a hacker who cracked your devices a few months ago.
Do not try to contact me or find me, it is impossible, since I sent you an email from YOUR hacked account.
I setup a malware on the adult vids (porno) web-site and guess what, you visited this site to have fun (you know what I mean).
While you were watching videos, your internet browser started out functioning as a RDP (Remote Control) having a keylogger which gave me accessibility to your screen and web cam.
After that, my software program obtained all of your contacts and files.
You entered a passwords on the websites you visited, and I intercepted it.
Of course you can will change it, or already changed it.
But it doesn't matter, my malware updated it every time. ** THIS IS MEANINGLESS **
What did I do?
I created a double-screen video. 1st part shows the video you were watching (you've got a good taste haha . . .), and 2nd part shows the recording of your web cam.
Do not try to find and destroy my virus! (All your data is already uploaded to a remote server)

Do not try to contact me (this is not feasible, I sent you an email from your account)

Various security services will not help you; formatting a disk or destroying a device will not help either, since your data is already on a remote server.
I guarantee you that I will not disturb you again after payment, as you are not my single victim. This is a hacker code of honor.
Don’t be mad at me, everyone has their own work.
exactly what should you do?
Well, in my opinion, $1000 (USD) is a fair price for our little secret. You'll make the payment by Bitcoin (if you do not know this, search "how to buy bitcoin" in Google).
My Bitcoin wallet Address:
blahBlahBlahdiblah0001 
(It is cAsE sensitive, so copy and paste it)
Important:
You have 48 hour in order to make the payment. (I've a unique pixel in this e mail, and at this moment I know that you have read through this email message). WHAT THE FUCK IS A “UNIQUE PIXEL”?
To track the reading of a message and the actions in it, I use the facebook pixel. ** MEANINGLESS **
Thanks to them. (Everything that is used for the authorities can help us.)
If I do not get the BitCoins, I will certainly send out your video recording to all of your contacts including relatives, coworkers, and so on. Having said that, if I receive the payment, I'll destroy the video immidiately.
If you need evidence, reply with "Yes!" and I will certainly send out your video recording to your 6 contacts. It is a non-negotiable offer, that being said don't waste my personal time and yours by responding to this message.
---||---

My reply:

Release the video then. I don’t care. No-one does.

Also I love he says “Don’t respond” and then says “Reply with “Yes!””. So funny.

That which confuses me.

It used to be child abuse, but now we are in a full-on social media Mass Hysteria over sexual harassment. Just look what happened to Matt Damon when he commented on this issue.....

That being said, and realizing as a man I am stepping into a minefield here, I want to address the issue of "Why Now?"

Why Now? Why is this an exploding issue now?

It was over 15 years ago that I had my first company training on sexual harassment. It was mandatory and we were told it was company-wide and everyone had to participate. It went on your training records and if you put it off, your supervisor would see you hadn't done it and not complete your annual evaluation until you had.

Yes, it was that mandatory. AND additional training happened over the succeeding years as laws changed. AND that training was just as mandatory and unavoidable. The Corporate America I worked for comprehensively addressed sexual harassment as early as the year 2000.

And in that training we all learned about "Hostile Workplace" sexual harassment, which is basically "if someone feels uncomfortable, then that is harassment."

We learned that hostile workplace harassment is in the eye of the beholder. You as the guy ( and it usually is a guy ), have no recourse if someone goes to HR about you. So we were told "Don't even have a picture of your wife or girlfriend on your desk, just to be on the safe side. Especially not that cute one you took on vacation."

So my company over 15 years ago, knew this was an area ripe for accusations and they trained us all to not do ANYTHING at ANY TIME in ANY WAY that might be construed by ANYONE as contributing to a hostile workplace.

I guess HR wanted a quiet life.

So the point I am coming to is "Why Now?" And I am forced to draw one conclusion, And it is this....

Ordinary working stiffs have had sexual harassment training forever, and we knew that there could be serious repercussions over many perceived sleights by the harassed. So we took our training and we did what our companies asked. And we avoided, avoided, avoided anything that could make us open to accusations.

But what about all these people who are now so publicly accused? Why did they continue? Surely they all worked for someones company at some time? Gosh, even as contractors they got the training somewhere? Even running their own companies, the lawyers must have told them about the law and the consequences of accusations....

Why didn't they stop until 2017 when allegations became avalanches?

Could it be that it was because they were Big Shots and they thought the law did not apply to them?

"Don't you know who I am?" to the power of a google? The bullying "I can ruin you in this town" mentality?

I think it was that. They all deserve everything that's coming to them.

Grifters on the Instagram.

In the last few weeks I have been contacted by two people through social media who wanted me to be their "friend" based on my Instagram posts.

One came at me via Facebook Messenger and claimed to be the Page 3 Girl Lucy Pinder, but from her broken English, I know it really wasn't her.

In both cases I got lines about "Needing a normal friend" and "You seem a genuine person". You know, generalized sucking up.

Lucy kind of backed away after I didn't respond enthusiastically enough to her. But I have reached out to see if she still thinks I'm hooked.

Annabelle contacted me two days ago via Instagram. She quickly sent me her phone number ( 612 470-xxxx ) and we texted away; me telling her how lovely she was and her massaging my ego saying stuff like "You have a genuine heart" and nonsense like that.

Then of course, out came the "I am flat broke, my phone service is about to be cut off" ( so we would not be able to continue to text ) and "I need a $75 i-Phone gift card and no-one else will help me."

She was good, but I'm a 60 year old man and I know that a 34 year old woman is not randomly reaching out for friends on social media.

So then "Poof!", I blocked her phone number, deleted her texts and blocked her on Instagram.

On IG she trolls by the name of "sassyannabelle". So, Buyer Beware. Especially Olde Buyers.

Southern Baptist Convention: As Unchristian as they wanna be.

Yesterday, the Southern Baptist Convention hurriedly passed a resolution condemning white supremacy and the alt-right after a major backlash against the organization occurred when their leadership scuttled an initial and more strongly worded resolution against those ideologies.

At a news conference, Barrett Duke, a Southern Baptist leader who had led a committee that decided which resolutions should be considered for a vote, said the resolution as originally written contained inflammatory and broad language “potentially implicating” conservatives who do not support the “alt-right” movement.

Well Barrett, that's the point isn't it? Conservatives are not really Christians. To paraphrase George Carlin, they are just a group of people who meet up on Sundays to compare clothes and cars.

If a resolution so palpably right actually implicates your members, then surely you look at them with questions, not at the language of the statement that exposed them?

Hands up all those who were surprised by the SBC's initial stance.

My hand is down.

Dateline 05/17/17

Someone needs to tell Rush Limbaugh three things:-

1. Obama is no longer President.

2. Obama publicly commenting on an investigation which he thought to have no merit is way less serious than Trump trying to influence an ongoing investigation privately.

3. "Let it go" doesn't mean "investigate but don't prosecute", it means DROP THE INVESTIGATION. Plus, the fact that the investigation continues is a reflection of Comey's integrity and not of President Trump saying that the investigation should continue.

If we want to compare Obama's actions to Trump's, anyone with half a brain will see that what Trump is doing is far far worse.

Word

If someone says to you "Your voice is like smooth jazz", after your initial double take, it is perfectly acceptable to punch them in the nose and say "And your schnoz sounds like Nico McBrain's high hat".

Monica Crowley's book has been pulled

Monica Crowley, what went on in your head?
Oh, Ms. M.Crowley, did you talk to the dead?
Your life style to me seemed so tragic
With the thrill of it all
You fooled all the people with magic
Yeah, you waited on Murdoch's call


So Ms. M.Charming, did you think you were pure?
Shining PhD, in nocturnal rapport
Uncovering things that were sacred
Manifest on this Earth
Conceived in the eye of a secret
And they scattered the afterbirth

Ms. M.Crowley, won't you ride my white horse?
Ms. M.Crowley, it's symbolic, of course
Approaching a time that is classic
I hear that Fox Babes call
Approaching a time that is drastic
Standing with their backs to the wall

Was it polemically sent
l want to know what you meant
I want to know, I want to know what you meant, yeah

---||---
No really. What did you think you were doing?

One of The Best Jokes Ever

A shortsighted man accidentally walks into the pet shop next door to an electrical appliance store where he was intending to make a purchase. On seeing a young man who seemingly worked there he asked:

"Excuse me young man, but do you have an infrared griller?"

To which the young man ( who was very keen to make a sale ) replied:

"No, I'm afraid not Sir, but we do have this lovely ultraviolet chimpanzee."

#PoemYourLife - The Sequels

Doggerel and rhyme
Do I have time
To parse all I've been told
For that nugget of gold
That calls out my foes
As gardeners with hoes?

---||---

Brit-born, forlorn on an island of scorn.
America-bound, with a life to be found
In sunshine and friends
Where Florida ends.

---||---

Reserved & distorted
Like a life that's contorted
By politeness and fears
That melt over years
Living and growing
Then knowing.

#PoemYourLife

Fly over the sea
For all you could be
Believe in yourself
A collector of Delft
Snakes in the yard
And a bowl of Swiss Chard.

My take on Bathroom Bills

I agree with Governor McCrory, it isn't a problem, it has never been a problem. Not in North Carolina, not anywhere.

Leave transgender people alone. Bigotry from the government should not be yet another affront they have to bear..

Prosecute people guilty of committing actual crimes in bathrooms. They won't be trans folks I guarantee you that.
