Is it just me or are you folks getting these "requests/threats" on a "more-than-usual" basis?

I do love how the tone of these things, lately, seem to be of a "more desparate" nature.

Life's a b!tch when you're a scammer.

Enjoy!

I don't know, IMO the scams get better and better every year.

personally ive fallen foul at least 3 times to the dam UPS and fedex emergency scam that gets sent to all companies that ship UPS or fedex.

You get an email that looks like a UPS alert (which of course they don't do) and you are sometimes busy and click the link, and boom, malware. For me every time ive done this was during a UPS shipping issue where I was expecting an email. Sometimes the timing is just right.

That and better business bureau notifications.
