Spam & Phishing Watch

Warning: I received a spam email claiming that Elon Musk had revealed a “NASA-backed” Vicks trick capable of reversing memory loss and dementia. The email promotes a supplement called VapoCept and presents the supposed treatment as a major scientific breakthrough. I could not find credible evidence supporting the NASA or Elon Musk claims, and the medical claims conflict with established information from the FDA and the official Vicks product information. Do not click any links in this email, and do not rely on its claims about memory loss or dementia. The email I received Subject: The NASA-backed Vicks trick reversing severe memory decline fast Sender: NASA Protocol Desk (support＠uploadboy.com) Received: September 20, 2026 The message claimed: Elon Musk had revealed a “15-second” protocol for memory loss and dementia.

Warning: I received an unsolicited email claiming to be from Xfinity with the subject “- Your Xfinity YETI Outdoor Reward D#137408” . The message says that I was selected as a winner and offers an exclusive “YETI x Red Bull Racing F1 Outdoor Bundle.” It then asks the recipient to click “CLAIM YOUR REWARD NOW.” I would treat this message as a scam and would not use any of its links. What the email says The message uses phrases including: “CLAIM YOUR YETI x RED BULL F1 BUNDLE TODAY” “Congratulations!” “YETI x Red Bull Racing F1 Outdoor Bundle” “CLAIM YOUR REWARD NOW” It also thanks the recipient for their supposed Xfinity loyalty and presents the bundle as a prize. Why this email is suspicious The sender displayed in the email was info@easxqwvk.com . That is not an Xfinity or Comcast email domain. The reward buttons also lead to an external address rather than an Xfinity website. Even the “Unsubscribe from this promotion” link points through the same unrelated infr...

Warning: I received an unsolicited email promoting a product called ArterioFlush and claiming that a simple “Arterial Flush Ritual” can rapidly reverse high blood pressure. The email had the subject line “Watch before deleted: The simple ritual resetting BP to 118/78” and showed the sender as support@eurobunker-arena.com . It uses CBS News branding and Dr. Oz’s name while claiming that a substance called “Arterial Cement” is responsible for hypertension and can supposedly be flushed away with a natural compound. Why this email is suspicious The displayed sender address is unrelated to CBS News. The link presented as a CBS News presentation does not lead to cbsnews.com. It points to a Google Cloud Storage address instead. The email makes dramatic medical claims, including large blood-pressure reductions within days and the removal of arterial plaque. It specifically names prescription drugs such as Losartan, Amlodipine, and Lisinopril while presenting the promoted “ritua...

Warning: I received an unsolicited email with the subject “Here's what's coming up next” that appeared to be an AMP-RI mailing-list confirmation sent through Mailchimp. What made the message suspicious was not the normal newsletter content. Near the bottom, the email reproduced information supposedly submitted through a signup form, and the Last Name field contained a Bitcoin-related scam message and an external link. The external destination is omitted from this article for safety. Details of the email Subject: Here's what's coming up next Displayed sender: AMP-RI <info＠amp-ri.com> Received: September 16, 2026 The email included the following text: For your records, here is a copy of the information you submitted to us...

The email used the subject: CNN Special: Scientists uncover 10-second Tinnitus flush (Proof inside) Despite the CNN branding and medical language, the message did not come from CNN, and its links did not lead to CNN.com. What the email claimed The sender was displayed as Clinical Hearing Report , using the address support＠evasia.net . The message claimed that scientists had discovered a natural tinnitus remedy and stated that Dr. Oz had revealed the “real medical truth” about tinnitus. Among the claims in the email were: “tinnitus is NOT an ear problem” “restores absolute silence in as little as 48 hours” The email then promoted a product called NeuroZen and repeatedly encouraged the recipient to watch a supposed CNN Health presentation. The CNN branding does not match the destination The most important detail is the d...

The message is presented as a GMA health story and promotes a supposed "Gelatin Trick" for rapid weight loss. It was sent from: ABC Digital Team <support@uploadboy.com> This is not an address associated with ABC News or Good Morning America. I would not treat this message or its links as legitimate.
