New scam

Zhills — Tue, 23 Aug 2022 18:58:15 GMT

Just got a call from Nina at Network Security?

Gave me a license number to enter (where?) because I was not receiving emails (I have 5 different ones) from them!

Can anybody decode that info?

I wouldn't even be thinking about trying to figure it out; it's a baiting/phishing scam giving you just enough info to start digging/clicking on ways to contact them and capture your info.

Too many unknowns for me to bite!

I don't have my emails on my phone...just my PC and tablet!

Did you talk to someone or was it a voice mail? Anyway, when something seems confusing I just ignore it. My approach has always paid off for me. Scammers thrive in getting people off balance.

I've just had my e-mail hacked. What a mess to get out of. Couldn't use my e-mail at all. My contacts list was also deleted so that I couldn't do a mass e-mail to warn people on my list about the hack. Thank heavens I have a super knowledgeable local computer guru who was able to get me out of this mess remotely.

I knew she was a scammer because her "company" had no name (network security - like there is only 1 network) and it was a "license key" (what type of license?) because they couldn't send me emails (what email did you send to????) She didn't know I had more than 1 but not on my phone!

She didn't make 2 + 2 = 4!

No and it wouldn't matter to me. Delete the emails, block the phone number and move on.

I have been getting some annoying emails regarding pkgs some mythical company that says they can't deliver due to my giving them the wrong address and credit card #. If I just call and give it to them , they will send my package our right away. Who falls for something that obvious? No place to unsubscribe either, so I get a dozen a day.
