Just had one asking me to 'log in' to view my A-level results early
Which would be handy if I actually took some A-levels this year, but alas my studies were at foundation degree level

Well i got this message from Apple...or should i say some hackers/scammers who are trying to get naked pictures of me. Well its not gonna work as 1. i don't have an Apple account as i've never used any Apple of products and 2. there are no naked pictures of me. I'm not stupid enough to have someone take naked pictures of me and then upload them to iCloud.

Not had these in a while
But this one is the best, he's learnt time travel and gone back in time. The date i got the email was 14th Jan 2015 yet he's not gonna be back in the country until september 2014. Sometimes i wanna reply to these idiots and tell them that if they can't do a scam properly then don't do one at all.

Had two in the last couple of weeks that I haven't heard in a while. Phone call from India, purporting to be from Microsoft or some other tech company "You have malware on your computer". A quick summary for those that don't know, they make you look at Microsoft errors that occur all the time (more code you have, the more errors that'll crop up) but you don't see them as an end-user. They ask you to look at these, do a couple of other things that make your computer look like it's bad. This is when they'll ask for you to install some software for them to "fix" the computer (a remote control piece of software) and/or ask you to pay for a piece of software using your card information. So they want to try and steal your computer data or your card. First one was a couple of weeks ago and my Mum who tends to be gullible in regards to lots of things like this was even cautious. I got one recently where she couldn't decide where she was actually from before settling on Microsoft, I tried to hold them on the phone for a while but ended up telling them that I knew what they were going to do and then hanging up. I know that everyone on here probably wouldn't fall for it but you may want to tell your less computer literate friends/relatives. They actually phoned up the man behind Malwarebytes who recorded the whole thing: blog.malwarebytes.org/fraud-scam/2013/04/phone-scammers-call-the-wrong-guy-get-mad-and-trash-pc/

I used to love these phone calls, you can have such great fun with them "I'm sorry, I can't find Event Logs, [person speaks] Nope, sorry not there [person speaks] ok, this isn't working, I will have to send it back to Apple for a replacement" "My PC has a What! [Person Speaks] oh fu*k, I must have been looking at too much porn, Thanks for letting me know" "The PC has a Virus? For fu*k sake, I told my brother to stop downloading stuff, [shouts] oi tom, get your fu*king ass in here now, [drops phone] [lots of shouting and throwing stuff if possible]"

A most unusual one this evening....
Despite never having been (or wanted to be) a freemason, I'm kinda tempted to apply...
I think they've mistaken me for some other grand poohbah who shares my moniker (and so has a similar email addy)
Now... where did I put my apron and trowel??

Ah, Grand Poobah is the mystical 34th degree Mason. Is there something you're not telling us or shall we we cut out your tongue and bury it at a shallow tide. So then, you've shown your true colours!!!!. How dare you tread away from away from the cult of Kirei!!. Punish the unbeliever. Noodle the faithful servant at the cult of Kirei. Hail Kirei!!.
