The Anonymous Widower

A Result With A Spam R-Mail

About eleven last night, I received a spam e-mail from an American e-mail address saying, if I invested a few thousand dollar with them, I’d get a good return.

It was as fraudulent as a ten-bob note.

So I forwarded it to report@phishing.gov.uk!

Around midnight, I received another e-mail saying from America saying I’d unsubscribed. It was a professional job with a Re-subscribe button.

It looks to me, that phishing.gov.uk has removed the scammer.

  1. Although I’ve contacted Action Fraud in the past I wasn’t aware that the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has a Suspicious Email Reporting Service so thanks for mentioning it. While on the issue, HMRC also has a reporting system for emails, and other forms of communication via phishing@hmrc.gov.uk or by forwarding texts to 60599
