Been getting a ton of emails to my spam email about how i won a few 100 bucks and with a link.

Usually it says its from an online marketing superstar.

So wonder whats the scam ? If i click the link will it install some sort of software? Is it to get my passwords on my phone?

And no i didnt and wont click on the links.

Just block it and be done with it.

 

[Tesseract]

sounds legit, click the link and tell us your story

 

[xrnzaaas]

Best case scenario - some trojan or malware your av software will block
Worst case scenario - some ransomware your av software will fail to block

 

[Tesseract]

ransomware is the only decent way to make friends anymore

Those links are always legit. Click on them all and start swimming ̶i̶n̶ ̶h̶u̶n̶d̶r̶e̶d̶s̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶d̶o̶l̶l̶a̶r̶s̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶w̶i̶n̶n̶i̶n̶g̶s̶ hundreds of dollars in potential ransomware costs if they hit a drive with family pictures and stuff.

I would expect xrnzaaas 's worst case scenario. Harmful spam mail is way more fucked up and damaging than a keylogger in comparison if you found the keylogger almost right away.

Vintage scam

 

[Ingeniero]

It's probably a link to a site asking for your bank account details (password too), so they can wire you your "winnings"....
Or maybe this is legit, 50% - 50% chance.

Give it a try OP, then report back.

 

[cryptoadam]

I wont click on any links especually emails going straight to my spam folder.

Im thinking its a trojan or key logger.

[T8SC]

How old is OP? Do we need to sit exams now to be able to use the Internet or Email?

Serious - OP what is the link? I like digging into spam Emails.

Speaking of the subject has anyone else been getting tons of scam and spam calls since the New Year? I've gotten more this year than I've ever gotten in my life it's insane. Like a dozen per day.

I am getting a lot of spam mails posing as random banks that want me to confirm my information by loging in via "this link", as well as FedEx and UPS spam that want me to pay some marginal ammounts for the shipping of a package i am supposed to receive,
