How Did Gmail Spam Filter Miss This?
How Did Gmail Spam Filter Miss This?
Dear Zara. ,
My name is Mr. Israel Marthins, I represent the interest of some very
wealthy and influential investors, who prefer to operate in
obscurity, so this deal would be a covert deal.
Due to unstable economy, including inconsistent and unfriendly
policies, my Client decided to stash bulk of his funds($11.7 Million U.S.Dollars),
into Countries with more friendly policies, consistent and stable economy, and
also developing nations where there is security on assets, and
adequate returns on investments. That's the reason I'm contacting you.
I am simply contacting you to see if you have the expertise to receive assets and fund to invest lucratively. I have been given the full authority to negotiate with you on the working terms. If you can demonstrate that you have the capacity to handle this, we can commence partnership.
Please treat confidentially and urgently, and reply with your private email including your direct mobile line/s.
Yours Truly.
Mr. Israel Marthins.

I've noticed sometimes it is so easy to see if an email is spam or a scam. Things like spelling errors or strange gaps between words or sentences or money amounts is what can easily jump out to me. Good job on giving example of what a scam/spam letter looks like. This is important to know, too since it does happen.
ReplyDeleteWow! Can you recommend me to this investor?
ReplyDeleteYhis is one of the reasons I DONT use Gmail, The garbage I get in Gmail will make your skin crawl. This 3rd party provider is full of it
ReplyDeleteYou think Gmail is bad. I still have an old AOL account (my first email account) and that is nothing but spam.
ReplyDeleteThe best account I've found were the old apple accounts when they were paid for.
Paul Friend :)
ReplyDeletePaul Friend OMG! Even in the old days AOL was spamcentric. :) Google is usually pretty good at filtering spam. Somehow this was made it past the filters.
ReplyDeleteChar Imbeau Yes, they are fairly easy to recognize. Google's spam filter usually works fairly well. I was surprised to see this in my inbox.
ReplyDeleteArthur Morehead Usually Google spam filter works well. That's why I was surprised to see this in the inbox.
ReplyDeleteMy Apple ID is locked to my AOL account, Zara Altair so I'm stuck with the spam.
ReplyDelete@me.com is still the account I get the least spam from. No spam at all until it went free.
Paul Friend My old AppleID was locked to an account I don't use anymore. I set up a new account when I purchased my computer.
ReplyDeleteI have lots of purchases linked to the account, Zara Altair, so I'm stuck.
ReplyDeleteIn all honesty that's all I use the AOL account for so I only check once in a blue moon and then mainly just send all to bin.
Paul Friend What I do with my old email account.
ReplyDeleteZara Altair lol, must be the new system😦
ReplyDeleteOn a more lighter version, did you watch the tedtalks were a comedian took on one of these scams?
Truly hilarious from a different perspective
Will send it if you missed it, worthy the 15 minute Cheers
MicheleElys MER No, didn't see it. :)
ReplyDeleteZara Altair It's unfortunate but comes from social media having the ability to be"scraped" for email accounts from your profile. Gmail is especially bad and/or any other third party source. Even your cell phone are no longer safe. I mean when they came up with the brainy idea of using the cell phone and texting as another source to protect your privacy for login reasons and nearly demanding it I knew we were in trouble.
ReplyDeleteI refused to do it for the first few years then finally Google won out with it and I gave it up Thats when the proverbial "shit hit the fan" as now I get all kinds of garbage to my cell now because of "scrapers" hitting the profiles, Hackers are at record high and its easy to get this information on how to get it Just Google it it's pretty easy to get. LinkedIn Facebook, Twitter, Instagram Yahoo all of them you can get it pretty easily THANKS GOOGLE Check it out for yourself
Zara Altair I use a dump gmail account, xmade life simpler
ReplyDeleteZara Altair will send it to you later, it's hilarious and factual news feed!!
ReplyDeleteMicheleElys MER Found it from your other post. :) ted.com - This is what happens when you reply to spam email
