Those kinds of scams are looking for you to enter personal details rather than installing some kind of malware.

They want you to think you need to enter passwords/or payment details to confirm the delivery or redirection or whatever.

I wouldn’t be too concerned, other than you’ll probably now receive a lot more spam as you’ll be flagged as a gullible mark in their list.

Been trying to find reddit threads and a lot come up but not about these random configfile attachments.

Yeah I hope so. Downloads are clean. Nothings been sent from my outlook. Play store scan shows no dodgy apps.

What a tit.

Just found this in my spam folder…

Now to remember where I used the email “crapbags@thelip.co.uk

Yeah I got one of those EVRi messages saying I had to pay for a re-delivery, panicked, then I suddenly remembered that I wasn’t expecting anything and it was a scam.

Don’t worry it is Led not Les

It’s smart that the scammers use Evri, since it’s the most unreliable parcel-delivery ‘service’ out. Evri fucking up is not really going to surprise anybody.

Interesting thing about their logo and why it looks so fucking shit:

That is pretty mad. Funny I hadn’t noticed… just looks a bit crap

That just adds to the shadiness, it’s like they’re setting themselves up to be like, ‘Nah mate, wasn’t us. Different logo, you see?’, like how somebody registers their business in their wife’s dog’s name at their gran’s address.

Currently sat in a interview with a candidate at work and at about 45 minutes into it, it was really bugging me who he sounded and somewhat looked like…

Then I realised that he sounds exactly like Dustin Dollin with a somewhat similar face, a beard and Mike Arnold’s hair.

Alone for long weekend to focus on studying.
Just finished final draft of my first final year assignment. Another 8 or 9 to go…
It was a lot harder than expected. Just glad I managed to deliver something and am still on track timewise.

Saw some Michael Fabricant with their Christmas Decs up today. Made me want to park my car through their living room.

My son is mad into animals and wants to be a wildlife photographer when he grows up.

For christmas I want to get him a camera so he can take photos when we go to wildlife parks and in the woods and shit.

Hes only 5. Have you ever got any cameras for your kids? Was thinking if you can get ones with printers or something.

Going to google stuff but thought I may as well go to the forum hive mind first.

I kept getting adverts for a brand called ‘campsnap’ for a while. They are marketed as kid friendly so are digital but don’t have screens
