Received an email this morning from <Removed> telling me they found my store and wanting to do an e-commerce promotion, write professional product listing, etc. etc., find the link to the attached pic. It also had a legitimate looking eBay 'REPLY' button.
Obviously I did NOT open the link. Just as obviously there was nothing on my listing about having any offer.
Must say I'm getting pretty sick and tired of all these scammers who want to try and get my bank information - JB HiFi, ATO, Aust Post - to name 3 recent ones.
So I just thought I'd give you a heads up if you receive one of these emails.

I love those lengthy emails from someone saying they hacked into my PC, used my webcam to record me playing with myself while watching interesting videos and has got into my email inbox to email the video to all my contacts unless I send them funds.
Yeah, I've had heaps of them. They are demaning bitcoins or some such fake currency. The funny thing is, I have had my webcam turned off from day 1, in my settings, and I have a sticker over the lens, just in case someone does get in (unlikely, but entirely possible if someone was desperate enough).
Mr Tippy got a bit upset when he received a similar email. I asked him if he'd been playing with himself while watching interesting videos again. He said yes, he had, again. I scolded him, again. He promised never to do it again, again. Then I reminded him that he also has a sticker over his webcam (the VIN number of his car to be exact!). He was relieved. We don't have to sell our house to protect the 2 contacts we both have in our email list.
Who gives a stuff about email these days? It's so last century!

I would'nt, obviously but my God it is so tempted to respond to these fools
You WISH you had a recording of me
If you need, you would know all my contacts were there with me
All playing with ourselves
A round robin (ahem) session

If I got a "professional" looking email that started with "sup", it would be going straight to the cyber ether. Ctrl-del.....completely bypasses the deleted folder and immediately permanently deletes it. I use that with all spam. Saves having it clogging up the deleted folder, only to have to manually remove it.
