gnarlymarley Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 10 hours ago, lisati said: The only one I recall receiving that mentioned a password had one which wouldn't have worked. A few months earlier I had noticed that something was a bit off, and had taken the precaution of changing my password. yeah, a spamtrap of mine seems to have gotten on the list with lots of random password. The interesting thing is that spamtrap address is just an alias account and has no password. Probably just a copycat setup from scammers who do not have the actual passwords. One can never be sure if they are the copycat or the real thing that is "masking" the password just so they do not give themselves away.

CaLy Posted December 8, 2018 Author Share Posted December 8, 2018 Today i received a new one (telling about webcam, wich i dont have) ... so Tracking URL : https://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z6505315873z0b3bb21ccb863cdadb680fb4f1c7c68az Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobiBue Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 in your case, I'd be sending a manual report to sendgrid, and one to the IP owner of the link in the body. but the reports wouldn't be sent from the email account I received the message to, but from a spam reporting email address not associated with me. (I made one up a long time ago combating a Nigerian spammer with a name from another Nigerian spammer and have been using that one for manual reports ever since, always munging my name and other identifying strings explaining to the abuse desk the reasons for it.)

These type spam warnings seem common! Always use a virus program Windows Defender is adequate and one paid for it when the bought windows. https://www.spamcop.net/w3m?action=checkblock&ip=167.89.100.171 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnarlymarley Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Sounds like they might be morphing now. I got the following sent to an address that has not has this stuff yet. More phishing...

gnarlymarley Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Ha, I thought this guy has given up, but seems he came back for another try. Been a long while since I have seen this come into my "spamtrap" account. I though they had given up on it. Amazing how an account could have a password without an /etc/password entry. http://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z6508576087z8ae70bcdece03f0236640dc90110bceaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lking Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 What makes you think the "same guy" is back? Looking at where the IP's for the last three reports (Tracking URL in thread) Sure looks like the CD(?) with the email is just being passed around. 93.65.54.240 Italy 109.238.12.51 France 210.16.101.53 India Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisati Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 I haven't bothered looking too closely for a pattern in the similar emails I've received, but have noticed that the ones I've reported tend to get tracked back to different ip addresses.

However, the one today has a unique password that was used back in November. It is similar to the format of the October scams, but not similar to the early December copycat scams. Of course with a spamtrap account that has never had a password of its own and likewise does not have its own browser. I did not that this scam did not talk about the webcam, unlike the ones back in November. If it was a different person, then I would expect that I would be able to find some sort of link to the so called password somewhere on the internet. Though, this could be a darkweb link that I know nothing of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The password was correct but an old one. I'd already seen evidence that something was a bit "off" and had changed my password as a precaution, prior to receiving claims that my account had been hacked. More recent efforts I've seen in my inbox have been of a slightly different character, and would probably warrant a separate thread. I'd suggest, at the very minimum, a change of password a.s.a.p. for people who get one of these "your account has been hacked" emails, or any other evidence that something's not quite right.

So many getting these threats so it seems organised and from more than one source. Seem to remember where junkied computers are sent to Africa and gangs take the data off them. Use the Windows FREE version of CCleaner to wipe drives select Tools/Drive Wiper. Formating won't remove info. Wipe at least once then format the more times you wipe the longer it takes depending on drive size. DO NOT WIPE SSD (drives) you will destroy them!
