Got an email from ReImage telling me they had charged me 336.99 for repair software... I had made no purchases online for a very long time, and certainly had not downloaded any repair aps. I did not click on anything, but only checked my bank account and did a search on this... finding a lot about ReImage scams.

I checked in on him all the way from Switzerland and he wherever he is helped me. I’ve recovered not less than $18,000 📂

What value to them would be the Link? Clearly the cash register has to ring somehow for them to be running this scam. Do you know? If so, explaining that would be useful.

Thank you for this insight into scams. I would like to see what other trickery the minions of darkness are perpatrating.

thanks josh on google chat is not good i took my email down i blocked 25 of contacts and i opened a new email i delete the old email scams and conned i stopped it before it got out of control thanks josh

Yep, very useful! It pays to be really vigilant, even to the most little details available. Even a simple, extra dot on an email domain shouldn't be left unobserved. Remember that businesses, governments, or financial institutions will never email you to request you provide or change logins, passwords, or network settings. Beware of unusual links or file download requests in your emails.

thank you

I had weird email scammer. Asking how I was doing? They had female name. I only know that female’s name. But when I check the email address. They didn’t had that female name. So I blocked the email address and deleted the email.

I have a problem with the DSCC emailing me at least 4to 5 times a day. Ask for $5 to $25 to help fight a blocking of the Senate. They never did this before when I had money. No matter how many times I tell them that I'm on a fix income. They continue to email me everyday. I'm 67 and I really don't have much. I just don't know if it's a scam. 🤔👍😎 This was very refreshing to have this kind of knowledge to go to. When there's no one that can help you. I gave you a like, I would give you even more if I could. Thanks again.

Well done well presented and will watch more of your videos on scammers👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Hi, I'm getting alot of FBI / Dear Beneficiary scam emails..asking for my mobile, address details/ offering money?
I'm blocking them but they still coming?
What shall I do?

One thing I noticed scam emails are often come in very odd time,like 2am in the morning. No legit company connect you in the middle of the night.

You did a true investigation.. excellent work & Thanks for sharing

You can report her you know. 😊🙂

I like that name Elementor. Sounds like the middle of the alphabet.

There are two red flag in that e-mail you got that come before any of those which you listed:
1) you have surprise news and
2) the paragraph containing "... you could be liable... $150,000... response by... we will have to take legal recourse..." creating an emergency sense of urgency is a huge red flag.

If you're going through a bad time like a family emergency, recent financial stress, exhaustion and so on it's easy to be caught off guard. I try to keep in mind to treat all e-mail with suspicion and I've received a few doozies, like one from my brother that turned out to be because his company website was hacked. The e-mail seemed so innocent but it was from his company e-mail which we never use to communicate, it was directions to go to an event on a specific date (relating to his work) but we'd not already talked about going there, and the e-mail was sent at 3 a.m. It also had attachments which weren't referenced in the e-mail.

hey. I got an email that might not be a scam but I'm not sure. they want me to promote their Brand on my channel since I have almost 30k subs. they didn't send any link , just an email and asked for my response. I did response with a few questions for them . is it okay or do i need o run some test on my device just in case ?

Thank uour for this awesome video ! It was very helpful with the scam email i got :P

Thanks dude

I received an e-mail that I won a BMW car. Funny🤭

Some computer users know a lot about computers, some, like me, know very little which is why I thank you so very much for your enlightening video. I've learned quite a bit from it. Keep up the great work. Thanks.

Good job valuable information

i got an email from the director of fbi or whatever claiming someone is trying to send me 400k. Jesus they have gotten so creative. fuck email scams.

I need help, can you provide advice? My dad almost got scammed yesterday. I got tho my parent's house just as my dad was entering his credit card. I stopped him but not before these monster had installed anydesk coinbase and something else we haven't identified. They opened a coinbase account in my dads name.
