Protonmail Warning

Looks like the scammer known previously as Lockandload is now sending emails as "hpharma".

Avoid anything "confidential" since that's what many of the ones I have received say. Don't open, don't click, and if you have any feelings that something is off with the payment info you receive wait before sending and get confirmation that it's really from your vendor first.

I just got one Thursday from Lockandload@protonmail.com  that subject is "July Promo Price List".    Don't worry, I didn't and won't open it.   This $#$#$ is the cause of me losing a donation to Leslie earlier this year.    BE CAREFUL OUT THERE !!!!

Yes those are them.  Don’t click on anything obviously and don’t reply to them!!  You can choose to “report phishing” ( click on the down arrow button above the email in question) which will notify protonmail about the scam and will put it in your spam folder.  

This is general common sense advice for EVERYONE and EVERY email provider (gmail, yahoo, proton, etc).  Even your work email.  Never ever ever click any link in an email.  Phishing scams are most common for Bank emails saying you need to click a link to check your balance or to report fraudulent activity, etc.  Phishing has gotten a lot more sophisticated nowadays.  Most of the time phishing is combined with social engineering so the fake emails are targeted to you -- say coupons for your favorite store, etc.  The really good hackers are able to "hit inbox" and avoid the spam folder.

Reading my above post is funny because last month's twitter hack was one of the biggest examples of social engineering hacking.  I'm not political, but it seems like this will turn into another election fraud situation.  The BTC scam was obviously a cover to gather personal data to use later on.  Only 143 accounts were hacked including the former President and possible future President.  This is a smoke screen for something bad .........

@Clarissa Can you explain the major key notes simply, like Iam five? lol

 

[Clarissa]

@Whoopiegoldburgg222 Social engineering attacks or my conspiracy theory?

 

[Whoopiegoldburgg222]

By who? in my eyes all of the three letter agencies dont even communicate with each other, the C1A dosnt even have to follow the constitution since their job title is to defend the national securitty at ALL cost . Im for the C1A taking down militant groups and taking over terroristed neiborhoods .. but when that same servalance is used on us its pretty sick. This is a war fare between all agencies right now.. we as the public are what they are fighting over. Mind control.. and not like you see it in the movies.. its more sudble then that. @Clarissa

@Whoopiegoldburgg222 I can't agree with you more.  9/11 was 100% preventable.  I mean it could have been prevented that Sunday before the attack happen, but it happened anyway because the C1A didn't want to share this information with the FBI Bin Laden task force.  They wanted to "cultivate assets".  I think the C1A bitch responsible is still hiding out.  We're under surveillance 24/7 and there's NOTHING we can do about it unless you want to get rid of your phone, blue tooth devices (like wireless headphones), smart watch, laptop, TV, metro card, credit card, GPS, car-enabled GPS.   Anything that transmits a signal is tracked.  The news says we're safe, but we're not.  The NS@ is listening to everything, but they only care about "key words" kind of like a resume scanner that scans for skills and qualities.  As long as you have nothing to hide, you shouldn't worry.  I don't really see the big deal and I'm the conspiracy nut-bag.  

Oh and Trump is a business man, so he is going to outsource all his propaganda schemes (i.e. the same way a business outsources resources to save money).  A 16 year old boy in FL confessed to the twitter hack.  Hah, come on really?  All of these hackers involved were just willing to come forward and take the blame?  This could have Ru$$ia written all over it but who knows.  I really wish I didn't have a full time job so I could just sit around and investigate and hack into all these things and figure out what the f*ck is really going on and why Trump keeps firing everyone who looks into the election scandal.  We can solve the twitter scandal over night, but we still can't solve the election hack.  I mean really?

EDIT: I will probably be put on some type of conspiracy watch list after this, but I don't care.  This is America.  Free speech and all.

EDIT 2: My 9/11 theory is real.  This is actual information discovered during the senate trials following the attacks.

I sure hate to revive this thread, but I have been getting what appear to be phishing emails again. Seems like every few months the scammers send out a batch and shortly thereafter I hear about someone getting scammed again. 

So in case you had hoped this would go away I think we have to accept that checking the email addresses that contain payment info, particularly bitcoin addresses, is something we may always have to do. 

If the email address is different from the correct vendor email then do not send the payment!

Encrypted email gets hacked, Macs crash and get infected, and "they" know where we are and what we're doing. The Patriot act took care of all that.

I have a old friend in South Carolina who has been an activist for years I offered to send him a little bud and he said he was afraid because of all his activities. I told him that  "if they wanted you, people would see a black SUV with MIB stop in the streets of Columbia, grab you put him in it and that's the last we would see of you,...

Having said that, I may get a VPN LOL (only because I download torrents)..…. And, I would like to peek at the dark web sometime but not until I am a little bit better covered don't want them to think I'm actually buying something there when I can get it other places a lot easier. Man alive I have been posting all morning and it's only 5:00 the Ritalin in this working well today.

Sorry for all the rambles it happens sometimes. Stay safe stay healthy and be careful
