Weird iFunny Chats

Most iFunny scammers are boring, doing the usual sugar mummy scam or just starting with "hi" (to be fair, not all might be scammers, but the odds are against them, so I don't bother).

Once in a while I get more unusual chats though:


"Hey are you gay ,tran, femboi,trap or furrie?
???"


"Are you gay do you like girls because you are pretty and I wanna date you
Only if you are gay if you are not sorry for bothering you"


"Your a bitch btw
I bet your one of those fucking trannie loser abominations also
That's why you deleted my message huh"


"I'm mary and into sex chat pictures videos mastrubating with my toy and oil sex lust for little amount $20 only
*topless photo with tongue sticking out*"

I couldn't find this image online, but I'm pretty sure it didn't come from whoever was messaging me.

This person gets bonus points for the username: "mypussyandassneedsomedick". "Mary" is also a popular name for some reason - I got more than one message from a "Mary". At least they bothered to use different photos.

Cunning spam

A new way I've seen spammers use to get a response.

Email 1:

From: Barbara Podair

To: "fgddddddddjhfgh@usfreeads.club"

Subject: remove from all emails and mailings

Body: *blank*

Email 2 (5 minutes later):

From: Jennifer Freeman [Ed: There is even a profile picture displayed]

To: "fgddddddddjhfgh@usfreeads.club" , Barbara Podair

Subject: Re: remove from all emails and mailings

Body: Unsubscribe

Sent from Outlook Mobile [Ed: Suspicious-looking link for 'Outlook Mobile' that is either phishing, to get you to confirm your email address is active, or both]


So by inducing you to 'unsubscribe' from spam, this is actually going to get you spammed even more.

Modern Search Engine Optimisation

Spammer, 5th February: Hi Gabriel,

I noticed that you have a broken link to a website called eFinancialNews.com. That site was first published way back in 2000 but unfortunately, it is no longer a working website.

You link to eFinancialNews on this page: http://gssq.blogspot.com/2010_08_15_archive.html

We recently published an article that explains what happened to the site. I think it's an interesting story, and it could be useful to your readers.

In addition, since all of the financial content on that site is no longer available, we have included a curated list of the best financial news resources that are still being published.

Here's the article if you want to take a look: *Removed*

Would you consider swapping out the broken link for our article?

Please let me know if you have any questions and thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
-Chris

Spammer, 12th February: Hi again,

I wanted to check in and see if you got my note about the broken link on your site?

Thanks!
Chris

Me, 12th February: I have no interest in linking your article and doubt my readers do either. Even if anyone happens to notice the 404 they'll be more likely to want to read the original article rather than one about what happened to the site originally hosting it, an issue about which they in all likelihood could care less about

I hope you have more success promoting your SEO through link insertion to other sites

Spammer, 12th February: Fair enough, thanks Gabriel.

Spam with life advice

From: John Black

Subject: You have been recorded

Message:

Hi!

I know you wondering what is with this message, here is the story. Because your router was not secured, I was able to inject some sophisticated code into the firmware and every device connected to the network was compromised. The function of my code is to enable every camera on any device available and record (video + audio) with the notification LED disabled (if is present) while you visit 18+ sites. Yes, I got you matsurbating! We all do it, you just got caught. Another function of my code is to extract all contacts, emails, social media contacts and so on in order to obtain a benefit.

Here is what I want, if you don`t pay me 500 $ value in BitCoin, the video with you doing, you know what.. will be sent to all your contacts.

My BTC Address: *removed*

Amount: 0.06 BTC (approximately).

This is important! My BTC Address is case sensitive! Also make sure you save this mail somewhere safe so you will not lose the details.

Quick tip! The most easiest way to buy BitCoin is from Paxful, use Google to find it.

You may also want to search about NoFap and read about the positive benefits of NO PMO. There are may other stuffs that you can do than watching dirty stuffs, it`s just a waste of energy, minerals from the body and time, I hope you will think about this.

In order to get rid of my stuffs from your network, you need to reset your router, which means you have to unplug it and plug it again. You can also change your passwords, but my stuffs is not set to look for that, I`m not interested in passwords however for your peace of mind, go ahead, change them.

You have 72h(3 days) to send the coins, once they are sent, your video will be removed automatically from my compromised servers and you will never hear from me again. Don`t forget to cover your cameras next time, somebody may watch!

n00b extortion attempt

I got this spam email on 12th June. As of 21st June I still hadn't heard from my friends, so:


From: Your Data

Subject: Your password is - ***

Body: I know your password is: ***

You got infected with my malware, RAT (Remote Administration Tool), while browsing the web where my iframe was placed, in the background you got redirected to my exploitpack, your browser wasn't patched so you got infected!

My malware gave me full control over your computer and access to all your accounts (see password above)!

I COLLECTED ALL YOUR PRIVATE DATA!
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN - I KNOW ALL YOUR SECRETS - YOU KNOW THAT THIS ISN'T A JOKE!

After that I removed my malware, to not leave any traces.

If you don't pay me exactly 1800$ in bitcoin (BTC), I will PUBLISH ALL YOUR DATA, send it to all your contacts, over email, post in on social network!

WE BOTH KNOW - this is a very good price - compared to LIVING HELL!

YOU GOT 2 DAYS TIME TO GET THE BITCOIN (BTC) AND PAY!

One exchanger is www.paxful.com (there are many ways to buy bitcoin), other is www.coinbase.com
You also can Google for other sites, "Where to buy bitcoin?"

My bitcoin wallet is: ***

Copy and paste my wallet, it's (cAsE-sensetive)

After receiving the payment, I will delete all your data and you can life your live in peace like before.
If you get this email multiple times, it's to make sure you read it.
You will make everything worse, if you show this email to anyone - this should stay our little secret!

MailClientID: ***



From: Your Future

Subject: Your password is - ***

Body: I know your password is: ***

You got infected with my malware, RAT (Remote Administration Tool), while browsing the web where my iframe was placed, in the background you got redirected to my exploitpack, your browser wasn't patched so you got infected!

The malware gave me full control over your computer and I got access to all your accounts (see password above), it also was possible for me to turn your webcam on, you can Google about RAT's and their functionalities!

I collected all your private data and RECORDED YOU (through your webcam) SATISFYING YOURSELF!!!

After that I removed my malware, to not leave any traces.

I can send the video to all your contacts, over email, post on social network and everywhere else and publish all your private data everywhere, including the darknet, where the sick people are!

Only you can prevent me from doing this!

To stop me, transfer exactly: 1800$ bitcoin (BTC).

I think it's a good price compared to living hell and you know this all isn't a joke!

Go to www.paxful.com (there are many ways to buy bitcoin), or www.coinbase.com
Or Google - "How to buy Bitcoin?"

You can send direct to my wallet, or create your own wallet first here: www.login.blockchain.com/en/#/signup/ and then send to mine.

My bitcoin wallet is: ***

Copy and paste my wallet, it's (cAsE-sensetive)
After receiving the payment, I will delete all your data and you can life your live in peace like before.

I give you 3 DAYS time to get the bitcoins and PAY!
Since I already have access to your account, I know if this email has been already read.
If you get this email multiple times, it's to make sure you read it.
Don't show this email to anyone, as it will not help you but make everything worse, this should stay our little secret.
Sorry, next time update your browser, take it as a lesson learned and move on!

MailClientID: ***


Yet, if someone is savvy enough to know how to send Bitcoin, he should be smart enough to know that this is crap

Observations - 6th March 2018

"Wasn’t it merely months ago that Cathay bravely stood up for LGBT rights over the objections of bigoted fanatics? And now Cathay is to be boycotted just because its sister company (over which it probably has next to zilch influence) is making shows that Alfian doesn’t like."

"I actually grew up as a victim of racism from my teachers.
1 from my primary school who picked on me because of my mixed ethnic background and because I didn't look malay and the other from my religious class who attributed my inability to parrot arabic because of my mixed ethnic background as well"

"Huh? Saying you pushed Eden away and then got penetrated is like Cecilia Sue saying she tried to push Ng Boon Gay away but somehow ended up having contact with his private part."


“the SPLC considers the Daily Caller to lean into hate speech, which is good enough for me. If they ever do the same for CNN or The Economist, I would support their removal as well. All "news" simply is not equal in this day and age.”

"I expect the proponents of "you're more likely to die in a car crash than from an islamic terror attack" to be consistent and to say "your kid is more likely to die at the skate park than from a mass school shooting".
Right?"

""Not up for debate" is a phrase almost exclusively used by people who do not have an argument nor do they know how to debate."

RT @atomasevic: Me: Good morning Neil!
Neil DeGrasse Tyson: To you, perhaps. But to 4 billion other people it’s an afternoon, or a night. You see, the way the solar system works...
Me: Fuck off! (Re:)


If my boss asks me to help him get a coffee he is abusing his power because I dare not say no and hurt my career

Why are lip plates and neck rings okay but not pricking the clitoral hood? (to say nothing of ear piercing)

"women, in general, do get sexually harassed, perhaps a lot... If you ask them face to face, they will say no."
"So basically when a woman says no she means yes"

"if the law states that a drunk person may not give consent, is the reverse also true i.e a drunk person may not withdraw consent"

One way men can avoid being accused of mansplaining - never talk to any women, ever

Singaporean Feminist: "there are university students here who genuinely believe women should have their pay docked for producing "unequal work" when they go on maternity leave. Nice system for men, they get to use female bodies to breed while simultaneously penalising women for breeding"
This is not the only articulation of this view I've seen. In other words, many feminists believe in equal pay for unequal work


Wondering how spammers send me spam that comes flagged for followup in Hotmail

It takes some nerve to request a read receipt on spam you send out

Got unsolicited call from someone who claimed to be from a licensed moneylender. I told him if he was licensed he would know cold calling was illegal. He quickly ended the call.

Planning for Christmas Early

Spam I got today:

Subject: Want to be with a brunette on Christmas?

Message: Sexy lady for a real man!

I am well-shaped, elegant, emotional and hot!

I adore sex! You’ll feel comfortable with me anywhere.

I can invite you for Christmas. Would you like to come?

My photos and questionnaire are attached.


(the last line was a redirect link to City Lägenhetshotell which is Gothenburg, Sweden. Out of curiosity I clicked on it and it redirected to http://datingsworld11.com so I guess their website got hijacked)

Emotional Blackmail for SEO

From: Virgil Anderson

Subject: question

Message: Hi,

I emailed you last week and unfortunately haven't heard back yet. My name is Virgil Anderson. I came across your website and thought you might be interested in my message.

I was recently diagnosed with mesothelioma, which is a cancer caused by exposure to asbestos.

Mesothelioma is a devastating disease that not only affects your system, but is also mentally exhausting. Treatments to fight off mesothelioma often result in weight loss and fatigue. Keeping your body energized with the proper nutrients and vitamins is crucial to recovering from Mesothelioma. Foods groups such as fruits, vegetables, fats, and water should be implemented into a healthy diet to maintain a proper calorie count as well as vitamin intake. Without proper nutrition, white blood cells, meant for fighting off infection, decrease as well.

In my fight against cancer, I have been helped greatly by the Patient Advocates at Mesothelioma.net. They have helped me tremendously through this tough time and don't know where I would be without them.

They actually posted an article highlighting the benefits of a proper diet here: https://(mesothelioma).n e t/nutrition-and-lifestyle-for-mesothelioma-patients/ [Ed: URL deformed so they don't get the benefits of the quasi-link]

Would you be so kind as to share a link to Mesothelioma.net on your website? I think the information could be useful to your website visitors.

I feel it is my duty to give back to the community--to inform people of their options if they are diagnosed with this cancer, and inspire them to not give up!

I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you!

Virgil

Observations - 23rd November 2016

"You may have the universe if I may have Italy." - Temistocle Solera (Verdi's librettist)

***

"i think it's a privilege to be able to blame an externality, like being born a woman or an arab, for your own inadequacies. wish i had that."

"Boys will be boys" can be seen as a rejection of ethnocentrism (or its gender equivalent) and an acknowledgement that boys have their own cultural norms

Words speak louder than actions - the moral of offence culture

If you get offended all the time it just means you're insecure

Maybe unfriending "bigots" is just another form of virtue signalling

If you need to respect the customs of countries you travel to, if you go to Afghanistan must you accept the oppression of women?

Still not sure why it's considered courageous to go for a sex change. If I am a female and undergo massive surgery to turn myself into a human Barbie, am I courageous? Shedding of the face you are born with is courageous too. Michael Jackson got a lot of flak for his plastic surgery.

Are health warnings on cigarette packets smoker shaming?

Those people who said those who did jesuisparis were hypocrites because they don't mourn for the Third World should be pleased to note that the more the West is hit by terror, the less we mourn

Do the same people protesting the French burkini ban protest bans on female genital cutting (aka female circumcision)?

If women who willingly wear the hijab contribute to the oppression of women do those who do BDSM help male violence against women?

If you are selective in calling out hypocrisy then you are... a hypocrite

"Unfriending exercise is nothing to be proud of
It's an an announcement that one is incapable of managing input and dispassionately evaluating and accepting / rejecting views based evaluation of facts."

"Hair for hope is illness appropriation. Just because you look like them means you know what they are going through?"

Abortion is not the only issue which involves bodily autonomy. Others include food, encouraging exercise, quarantine, immunisations and other medical procedures. Yet we don't see them protected under the right to privacy, or any of the accompanying outrage

"Identity politics are an inevitable side-effect of embracing moral relativism."

"I love all these liberals. They want socialized medicine but then whine about how it's none of our business how big they are. If your unhealthy eating is going to put unnecessary cost on the healthcare system then damn right your health is my business."

Are women advertising for housemates who say they've a preference for single female professionals sexist, classist and singlist?

"Funny how the people who claim that masculinity is fragile just can't go a day without making fun of men in order to feel superior"

"If you want to protest, you decline to perform. If you want a sincere conversation, you invite the man backstage and voice your concerns privately. If you want to grandstand and make it about you, you do what [Hamilton] did"

If a restaurant refuses to cook Halal food for a Muslim customer, is it discriminating against Muslims? (as per the gay cake cases) What if a knife salesman refuses to sell a Muslim a knife because it will be used for Halal slaughter and he's against animal cruelty?

"i that what this elections really blew off is the reluctance of the reasonable class to criticise the libetard narrative
back then if you did so you would get hit with the 3 combo- racist, sexist, xenophobic
now it has lost it's power a fair but"

Just because a regime is native doesn't mean it is legitimate.

"People react to blackface like they do people mocking someone with a disability. This says more about their view of blackness than it does the one portraying a black person with makeup."

"I'm pretty sure before I die I'll see LGBTQIABCD+√EF"
"I'm assuming the + indicates you're positive for an STD. Eventually it'll be LGBTQIALMNOPFRYZXEU6VS+
Because y'know, there are 65 ways to identify your gender."


Telemarketer called me on behalf of ANZ
Then asked me if I was currently a customer
"If you don't know, you shouldn't be calling me"

The most preposterous phishing scams are the ones where they spoof your identity to send you the scam email. I feel violated.

"You are receiving this mail because we want to keep you updated on the latest fashion and lifestyle trends."
At least they're not lying I signed up for their mailing list

Telemarketer from Maybank called and offered me the Manhattan Card (Standard Chartered). She meant the Manchester United card.

Why would you send a spam email with "Download Virus" being the only text in the body, and linked? Is it a test of how stupid people are?

Jesus Cures Diabetes

A combination of so many types of woo I lost track:


From: D.C.Christian Coalition
Subject: Diabetes Breakthrough



"Bible Scholars unearth lost teachings of Jesus. Now, experts believe this discovery could forever change the way we fight disease. See the discovery here.

The trillion-dollar pharma industry is WORRIED SICK over this discovery

Theyd thought they were safe

And that folks like us had forgotten about these secret teachings of Jesus

To be honest, they were mostly right

But that was before a renowned biblical scholar rediscovered what are probably Jesuss most important teachings

Teachings that show us how to combat virtually any disease

And do it without the use of drugs, medications, or expensive procedures.

Click here to see the Lords specific disease-fighting instructions now.

That link takes you to a short presentation by the scholar

And tells you everything you need to keep yourself and your loved ones in good health for decades to come.

Check out the presentation now before these corporate medicine cartels get it taken down.

God Bless,

A Coupon site you definitely should NOT use

Today, I discovered a new coupon site that you absolutely must stay away from.

It's called iPrice Shop.

I've just received a long rambling email from them.

Not only was it totally impersonal, insincere and unsolicited, it also had all the recipients in the To field (instead of the BCC field), exposing everyone's email addresses.

Lack of business ethics aside, they seem clueless about netiquette and marketing, which doesn't bode well for their operations.

In other words, if you buy something from them, who knows what they'll screw up?


Original spam mailer:


Hello,

Love your lifestyle blog along with all your other amazing articles!

I'm from iPrice Shop - we provide product information on all brand and also carry online coupons codes for web stores​ such as ZALORA and more.

We would like to let you in on our major face-lift! We are moving towards becoming an affiliate store. Check us out here. At our website, you can find famous labels like River Island, Nike and more.

Also, we have a coupon page for Singapore and coupon page for Malaysia. These coupon codes help online shoppers get additional discounts on their purchases. Today, iPrice is available in Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Hong Kong, Vietnam, India and the Philippines.

You would be able to get all your favorite brands under one roof and be notified on the sales that are going on for it! We are adding more stores to our list as well (net-a-porter to follow suit soon!)

Many Malaysian bloggers wrote about us before. Now we need help from the Singaporean to blog about us too.

You can check few blog posts about iPrice Shop here:

http://www.lovingsunshine.com/2014/10/how-to-be-sunflower-bae.html
http://www.glamourmoments.net/best-holiday-gift-guide-iprice/

It will be great if you can write a blogpost about iPrice Shop and reviews can also be done in Bahasa Malaysia.

Hope to have you on board and we would love to hear your take on it ! (also we are a small start-up and we make no money from users)

PS: Our articles have been featured on AdAsia and Yahoo Singapore.

Thank you for taking the time, reviewing on us. Thanking you in advance, looking forward to hear from you soon!

Cheers,​

Observations - 25th October 2014

"I don't get Asian guys obsession with "pure" and "innocent"...those girls are usually the most messed up emotionally...it's only good for women who are young, after arouned 25, forget it, chick is usually nuts or manipulative"

"Being an ugly girl is like being a guy. You have to work"

"There's more money in lying to women than in telling them the truth"

"women need assurance
just like cars need petrol
men need sex
just like cars need petrol"


Saying you should migrate if you don't like the system instead of trying to change it is like saying you should disown your parents if they don't like your boyfriend.

If you think CPF is good as people are too irresponsible to save for their old age/housing, why not go all the way and have a welfare state?

"After you've spent enough time exploring immigration policies in most first world nations, you'll quickly notice that Singapore is easily one of the easiest places in the world to work and obtain a PR or Citizenship."


"Organised religion lost me forever when I was 11 and the preacher at my primary school bible knowledge class told me that sci-fi like Babylon 5 were works of the devil."
"Science lost me forever when I was 13 and a scientist was rude to me"

Amused that people don't talk about Islam being pluralistic when it comes to stands they agree with (i.e. that interpretation they like could be wrong).

If you don’t like what your religion says, just reinterpret it.


A new low: got telemarketing call from BSS on behalf of UOB. Made by a machine. "If you're not interested, press 2".

Telemarketer for hospital payout plan refused to take no for an answer. I said unless he was offering a gold bar a day I'd heard it all. He thanked me for picking up the call.

Telemarketer gave me her name & number when I declined her offer. Tempted to write them on toilet walls with the words "Free Sex".

Spam email: "can i trust you.let me know".
Tempted to reply: "No. I'm a Nigerian 419 scammer"

BodyContours called me for the umpteenth. Told them I'm allergic to spas and the last time I broke out in hives for a whole week. Of course, they continued to call me.

Telemarketer: "I'll make this call short". Was tempted to hang up on her to make it even shorter.


Tempted to be a food blogger who only reviews bad food.

Your larder and fridge must be totally empty for you to go out and order Maggi Sup.


What do you do when someone you disapprove of promotes a cause you support?

The larger the group size, the higher the probability of eating mediocre food.

"Whenever you are feeling uncreative and/or lonely, just remember that 30 wedding shoots took place in NTUC fairprice outlets in 2013"

The number of vulgarities or incivilities in a piece of writing is a good proxy for how much sense it makes.

[On Koro] "During the span of last hundred years..all the published reports concern the ethnic Chinese"

It's not called a compromise if only one side is always compromising

A lot of talk about not judging people is just arguing for moral relativism. There are better and worse ways to judge.

Amused that the Telegraph has a Men section.

“Haha I boycott Starbucks. Because they support LGBT.”

If mental anguish suffices as a criterion for euthanasia that basically means it’s a free for all since, as with abortion, the anguish is internal and subjective

Most critiques of GDP are only about very short term GDP. Bad health, the environment, wasteful spending etc all depress it in the long run.

One of my fantasies is to go to Québec, be caught in a Juste pour Rire (Just for Laughs) gag and troll them back.

If "revert" didn't exist, we'd have to invent it.

Mail Order Queens

From Spam, http://datighyu.com/:

"Beautiful Russian ladies

European and American women are too arrogant for you? Are you looking for a sweet lady that will be caring and understanding? Then you came to the right place- here you can find a Russian lady that will love you with all her heart. Can't find a queen to rule your heart? How about beautiful Russian ladies that have royal blood and royal look? Here you can find hundreds of portfolios of these fine women of any age for every taste. Please excuse us if you are not interested."


I wonder if they got the memo that Russia was in Europe.

And hopefully the Russian queens of men's hearts are not autocrats like Catherine the Great...
