Introduction I knew there was something really, really dodgy about that MyBookFace.net crap highlighted in this post the other day. Not only are they connected to some serious malware (as detailed in the posting), but they’ve an interesting line in popups!!! Google Treasure Chest Rises Yet Again! Here’s what to do… Go to http://mybookface.net making [...]

Bollochio: an Introduction In an effort to test the spam un-subscription services of the spammers, I’ve decided to try and remove Bollochio, my nom-de-spam for some of the Utah-based scam-meisters, as detailed here, google-revolution-different-name-same-scam , for instance. The first occurence of Bollochio that I chose to report on is here: http://…google-revolution-…comment-1779 which was the webreviewagency.com [...]

Oh What a tangled web we weave… Back on May 1st I checked out this particular morph of the Google Money Bollox Kit Chest Scheme Plan…  See here.  I just had to show it because of the naff spelling and wordage, plus the inconsistencies in the text and graphics, and company name changes. Normal Of [...]

fastloanmodification.com These Californian chumps sent me some spam early today which took me to this page: http://www.fastloanmodification.com/?mediatag=15666&kw=&click_id=5195940&sub_id=371493208 “Lovely”, I thought.  “Just what I need!” “But I’d better check those pesky Terms and Conditions… I’ve heard they can be quite stringent!” Amazingly, in a complete reversal of typical Google Money Bollox, Acai Scam, Green Tea and [...]

The King is Dead, Long Live the King! I’m not taking this up as actually, I want $944 per day! The original Google Treasure Chest was wound up some time ago, and it’s owners are now on multiple charges filed by the US’s FTC.  Fortunately, I took the “opportunity” to sign up for “money-making schemes”, [...]

Just like Professor Fate in The Great Race – the Jig is Up! This video is from an Utah TV News station reporting on the recent FTC clampdown on Google Treasure Chest.  Apart from the collapse of the call centre which gave refunds to unhappy people (200 employees is stated, which gives an idea of [...]

I saw some news today that apparently gives some creedence to the idea that music is what makes us human.  It’s here: ‘Oldest musical instrument’ found The academic in charge, Nicholas Conard, said that the development of music probably helped social cohesion in our ancestors, making their survival and our own existence, possible!  This is [...]

Introduction My email spambuster Mailwasher Pro is doing overtime since I posted my investigation into Google Treasure Chest and the Robert G Allen Grants swindle. In this second investigation, I showed how the email spam system links the various scam systems together. That is: By signing up for one sytem, I started receiving email spam [...]

Two news items today confirm the inadequacy of any security system made by man.  After all, once a secret is out, it’s no longer secret. We have the simple human error of losing something combined with the natural inquisitiveness of human beings.  Both these absolute facts of life should drive a big hole through any [...]

Humphrey Hawksley in an article on today’s BBC News website has reported the (blindingly obvious, some might say) results of a 25-year American study into the effects of air pollution (specifically vehicle and industrial) on life expectancy. City air pollution ‘shortens life’ Basically, it’s bad! I live next to an A-class road, busy with holiday [...]

Introduction While fishing around for some chords I came across azchords.com – as you do.  They’ve a shedload of Google ads and I accidentally hit the banner ad while trying to get rid of pesky popups (why do sites still do this now?)  I was taken to the website of someone called Kevin Hoeffer and [...]

WARNING:  This Posting Contains Illegal Pictures I Can Be Imprisoned for Publishing Them. A little realised consequence of Bush’s ‘war on terror’ and the ramping up of common hysteria across the English speaking western world is, bizarrely, that it’s now illegal to take pictures of people commemorating, in a patriotic symbolic way, the lives and [...]
