What rubbish have we received today? Below is a partial list of the "spamvertised" domains sent to our accounts.

Note that this is a listing of spam received by us, not sent by us. We do not send unsolicited bulk email but spammers routinely forge our domain name in the From: line of their junk.

"Mystery Shopper", "Secret Shopper" Contact Details Date
Although legitimate mystery shopping opportunities exist, the ones you hear about in unsolicited emails are almost certainly scams, either advance fee frauds or money laundering schemes which will leave you seriously out of pocket if not in trouble with the law. If it sounds too good to be true, it is! James Walker, james.walk45@gmail.com 5 September

"Pump and Dump" Stock Date
This is how this scam works:
  1. The scammers quietly buy lots of inexpensive shares in a particular company, usually one that is small and sparsely traded.
  2. They then flood email inboxes everywhere with millions of messages touting the company as a hot stock and urging people to buy quickly. Pump.
  3. Enough unwitting investors buy the stock to create artificially high demand and prices.
  4. The scammers then stop promoting the stock and quickly sell their cheaply-purchased shares for a profit. Dump.
  5. The stock price plummets back to its pre-scam levels or even lower, and the conned investors are left with stock shares worth significantly less than what they paid.
