I wonder if we shouldn't start a Scam/Phishing email messages topic, as having this stuff, and knowledge of when any given variant is picking up speed would be handy.

What amazes me about this sort of thing is how many people do fall for it. If you've never had such a "service" that you know of that should instantly ring the SPAM/PHISHING alarms, and cause your delete finger, not dialing finger, to spring into action. Alas . . .

Yes, this was attached to a customer email asking if this was legit.

Tell them you'll renew it for USD 199.99

LOL!!!

I'm too nice of a guy to do this. But I was tempted to contact the Thumbtack user and tell him to stick the drive in the freezer for a few hours, whack it on the counter and he's good to go. Just search the Internet!

Well I can certainly contribute. I'm a packrat, big time, and save all the phishing/scam/malware emails I get. One thing I've noticed is they've switched to putting in a link to a document in OneDrive. The document has the

[url=badsite.com]goodsite.com[/url]

link so a user might think they clicking on a good link. The badsite URL even has, as part of it's address, the goodsite url in case someone hovers the link.

As for the hard drive fellow, be sure to tell him that a full format might error out being it does a surface scan... That a quick format works much faster and can even be used on a new drive.

^^^ All of this is of course true though probably not the best approach for data recovery,

"and if I ever need to use a different route, then I just use a different cassette!" LOL - well can't blame them for have a bad idea, just a bit early in the ol' timeline.

Plus, cars of that era used cable-driven speedometers (or my new favorite word of the day, mileometer!), can't connect to more than one thing.

Depending on what they are, and whether they'll actually be carried out, the price may be a tad too low!
