Scammers Festival

Post by Cas & Irene »

See below a list of scammers with all the same stupid enquiry, which we received in the last 3 months of 2014. (IF YOU NOT ON THIS LIST, PLEASE ACCEPT MY DEEPEST APOLOGIES!)

Most of them came through HA (>VBRO) and OD. Some by HL.
We never got any scam email by BedandBreakfast.com. Either they got good filters or B&B sites are not interested for them.

We will not bore you with all these stupid texts, you smell the scam as soon as you have read the first 3 words, the lack of dates and yes, they are always sóóó polite flexible. :twisted:

We always send them a very nice picture where they can stay, one who´s really ¨smell¨ !! Ask us by PM for a copy, but please don´t complain!! :lol: :lol:

Here we go .....

What strikes me is that your list of spammers is so different from mine in terms of modus operandi. In my (albeit limited) experience the spammers/scammers using mainstream webmail such as hotmail are distinguished by having email names which do not match their stated names as they appear on their enquiry, not even remotely. The rest have weirdy email addies such as @doctor.com rather than aol or yahoo.

OD. I would probably mask the email addresses unless you are 100% confident of their scamminess but leave the senders' details searchable.

I'm more than 100% sure about the these!
But indeed, maybe some email addresses have been hacked and be a genuine email address.

I have removed now the providers.

I wondering how many of those idiots are busy with this kind of crime? :evil:
