Spam/Scam

I haven’t acrually had one of these, and it made an amusing read. Many people expect packages and unthinkingly might respond. EVRI are a delivery company in the U.K. (I verified that), but the url is not correct even though it starts with EVRI.

I’m not sure whether this is just a data gathering exercise or whether I will have to validate it with card details, and I won’t bother having a look. Some will….

@Wen Ooft! That sender's Gmail address! How spammy!

Plus the .top domain!

There's almost always something that's a dead giveaway with these things, but there's also always someone not paying attention, which is how these clowns stay in business.

@bodhipaksa you are correct. We (business) have done a lot of work with the police in the past. They had an interesting observation, poor grammar and spelling was a route to weeding out the likely marks.

Clearly, although this is not terribly well thought out, it represents a change in approach, and superficially may fool enough people to make a return….

I thought it was an amusing warning to pas around.

@Wen I'd imagine one of the more popular use-cases for ChatGPT will become crafting grammatically correct scam messages.
