SPAM: SocialStanceMedia.com Instagram Colab – Kris Jenner

Unsolicited SPAM from Social Stance Media offering to let us “group buy” into a social media influencer’s followers.

We continue to receive group buy SPAM and haven’t been able to validate any of the previous group buys have gone ahead. It still seems odd to be buying followers. I also wonder if the followers would know their information was being passed onto other companies (as promoted) and if would actually meet SPAM or privacy compliance.

SUBJECT: Kris Jenner (42M+ Followers) + <Instagram Handle> Instagram Collab

Hi <instagram handle>,



We have an exciting Instagram promotion launching on September 22nd with Kris Jenner (@krisjenner) that we thought you may be interested in joining based on your interest in growing your brand.


Kris will be asking her 16M+ followers on Instagram to follow a group of brands in order to qualify. These brands will be participating in a “group buy” that will allow them to gain exposure and qualified, targeted followers from her audience at a fraction of the cost.


On top of new followers gained, we have a bonus where people enter their name and email address – and you’ll get all of the emails submitted to use for your marketing purposes.


Here are results from previous campaigns. 


If you’re interested in learning more, let me know and we can set up a time to chat. These spots will go fast! 


Thanks,


Trent Farnes

SPAM: Paul Ross and The Univisionist

Over the last two weeks we’ve started to receive mass SPAM to entire domains from Paul Ross and citizens-dividend.org.

Each email has come from a new Gmail address. They are using the Sendgrid service to send the emails and track clicks. Best to just delete the emails and consider a keyword block to deal with future SPAM.

From: Paul Ross univisionist2.10@gmail.com

Subject: The Universalist 2.10 – The Lockdown Silver-Lining: The Joint Lockdown & Locked-Out Solution

The email is long and rambling so we won’t post it here.

You report abuse to Google (for the Gmail addresses being used) and also report abuse to Sendgrid. It is worth doing this as with enough reports the accounts are shut down.

SCAM

SCAM: Mcafee Internet Security renewal

You often get cold calls from SCAMMERS pretending to be from Amazon or Microsoft or another big brand indicating you’ve purchased something and you need to press 1 to connect to an agent if you want to query it. AKA, a robo SCAM call.
I haven’t had it come via an email in a very very long time.

Dear Customer,

Your trial version of McAfee internet security will expire today, and the
professional version will be auto activated on the same date. Your registered
card will be charged usd 280 automatically towards the activation of the
professional version as requested during installation.

In order to cancel the activation kindly call +61 0280747756
before today’s EOD to cancel/modify your subscription or your card will be
charged.

Thank you for choosing McAfee service from us.

Warm Regards,
Mcafee Internet Security Team

So instead of pressing 1 on the robocall, I need to call this number.
+61 0280747756 or +61 2 8074 7756 or 0280747756 or 02 8074 7756 or however you want to write it.

On calling the number we get connected to an overseas call centre where they generically answer:

“Thankyou for calling customer support, you’re speaking with <a name>, how can I help you”

Note they don’t answer with a company name as they want you to tell them which SCAM you’re calling about. It could be Mcaffee, it could be Norton, it could be Amazon or Apple.
They will just flick to the correct script.

The outcome is still the same. They ask to start a remote session with the current remote support SCAM flavour product AnyDesk.

Bleeping Computer has a great writeup of this exact SCAM, only triggered by a site using browser notifications to trigger the user action.

SPAM: Last Backer

We recently received unsolicited email from Last Backer as a result of being part of an Indiegogo campaign. It’s unclear if Indiegogo or the campaign owner leaked the details.

From: Last Backer – news@lastbacker.com

Last Backer is not affiliated, associated, authorized, endorsed by, or in any way officially connected with Kickstarter, PBC

520 Elliot St., Charlotte, NC 28202

In other words, they obtain your email address without your consent from an Indiegogo or Kickstater campaign you backed and send you SPAM.
