Fidelity Life Insurance (Affiliate??) Email Scam

Image

Photo #1 is a scam e-mail posed to be from a Fidelity Life Insurance coverage company with a Yahoo email account. 

As you may notice the title already has a specific quoted amount, normally not mentioned until you start shopping. It also has an unusual font style as well,  the actual email itself is obnoxiously long and never seems to end or fit the screen.

Photo #2 is the body of the email. It simply quotes a large sum of insurance coverage and an ACT NOW link to click to most likely take you to a malicious website that will take control of your browser or computer, or the link may even trigger a download of malicious software.

CASH APP Email Scam

 This post involves a CASH APP Email Scam received.  Some huge red flags are listed below. As usual, the senders email address is an obnoxiously long combination of letters and numbers with an invalid domain name.  The email header is bizarre and unprofessional as well.  The To: recipients email address is bizarre as well, with an invalid domain name. You would think it would be your email since your account was supposedly compromised. I dont think @mail.xn----squrecash-71d.com is going to cut it.  Also, the email footer is professional. It doesn't have any type of business address listing. It just states @ Square Inc. I would at least place a company logo down there.   Take a look at the photos below.

PayPal E-mail Scam - Account Restricted

 This yet is another PayPal E-mail Scam - Account Restricted version . Below you'll see the red flags and photos of the entire email that was received.  Extremely long sender email address. Combination of letters and numbers that have no meaning.  An unusual email subject heading that begins with RE : . ..  It mentions that the account is temporarily restricted vs. disabled. Restricted from what I'm not sure?? I guess their hoping we click the links to find out.  I have to give them credit for the images in the email. It goes the extra mile to include the app store images as well as legal information at the bottom of the email as well.  Check out the photos below.

Fed-Ex E-mail Scam

 This post is about a Fed-ex email and text message scam that wants you to respond to a package delivery notification. See pictures below.  ** Updated ** (01/21/2023) Updated post with a scam text message and additional pictures with a false link provided.  Text message red flags: First and foremost, if your not expecting a package from Fed-ex then you should completely disregard the text and block the phone number. The text message has a legit phone number and is not a VOIP which usually are scams. A legit phone number could easily fool anyone.  However, the link is highly suspect and not a legit Fed-ex text message.  The primary reason is because the link does not show any reference to Fed-ex and how it handles tracking their packages.  1. There are no references to fedex.com with the link provided. 2. The link provided is a random string of numbers and letters. Capitalized and lowercase.  3. There are no sign-up options for tracking the package. The...

COVID-19 the W.H.O. & W.B.O. Email Scam

 This post involves an email scam involving our current COVID-19 "Pandemic" along with The World Health Organization. AND.. the World Bank Organization . It's very crafty given the worlds circumstances. Here are a few red flags to pay attention too.  The W.H.O. & the W.B.O. are sending out $800 billion dollars to "spread around the world". As if thats enough to spread...? The email itself does not have good grammar. At the top of the email it states "W.H.O. Foundation Grant". I think it would be more believable if it was titled "W.H.O. Grant Foundation". At least in the U.S. They are offering me a large sum of money. $300,000 USD..? The email also wants me to contact the The World Health Organization claims office..? I didn't know they had a claims office. It's nice to see they left me with an email donation code with an email to send them my full name so they can process my claim.  What's interesting though, is that they us...

Chase Banking System E-mail with European SQL address

 E-mail scam with European "SQL" address This post post involves an email scam in the guise of J.P. Morgan Chase Bank. The e-mail is suspicious yet obvious to the average banking customer.  The sender uses a modified web domain address similar to the bank, Chase .co ., instead of using the domain .com . For the regular online banking customer this should be obvious it is a false e-mail address, however to the individual who is unaware how to recognize fraudulent e-mail's and the addresses that are used chances are higher that they would click open the e-mail and have malicious software or virus downloaded on to their PC.  Below are the images captured from the fraudulent e-mail scam.

  Who is BonusHunter(dot).cc ??? Do you need a $13,000 payout? How to Avoid Cash App Email Scams and Protect Your Computer, ID and Money Cash App, a popular money transfer service, has seen a surge in usage in recent years. Unfortunately, with increased popularity comes a rise in scams targeting unsuspecting users.

Life Insurance E-mail Scams

 This post involves 3 life insurance scams. One from Liberty Mutual, the second from Select Quote Info and the third for veterans, from a site called Veterans Insurance Discount. I highly recommend not visiting any of these sites for obvious reasons. (I'm not sure if they even exist) I suspect they are not the real Liberty Mutual and Select Quote Insurance companies. Some red flags are listed below followed by some photos. The images are already disabled and blocked from downloading to your local PC. The sender email address seems to be a newsletter address. Side note: There seems to be a trend with scam emails that I've been noticing. They tend to have netedesign & plusinmedia in the email domains.  Check out the photos below.                     Photo #1 Life Insurance E-mail Scams  Photo #2 Life Insurance E-mail Scams  Photo #3 Life Insurance E-mail Scams
