Here we go with another weight loss scam/spam from another fake Dr. Oz. This one is claiming to come from http://www.arioliafro.it , an industrial products company in Italy. They've been hacked or spoofed. The sending server is located in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
All the links in the message (I attached the stripped message to reveal them) point to a Russian website selling, you guessed it, Green Coffee Bean Extract. Shocking, I know...
Don't click the links, just delete the message.

This Blog is about spam not weight loss. I don't know anything about Green Coffee other than this; that if unknown persons send e-mails about it, claiming to be from Oprah or Dr. Oz, and all the links lead to some Russian site it's a scam. I simply think it is a bad idea to use products advertised this way.
ReplyDeleteHi Pete,
ReplyDeleteDon't think that you have visited the site it is provides information about the green coffee beans manufactured in Indonesia.
Thanks

Finn,
Yes, I visited the site from a secure browser on a Linux computer. It is spam. It is a scam. These guys are the Internet's equivalent of a guy on the corner selling Rolex watches out of the trunk of a stolen car. I don't think you read my assessment. Everything about the promotional e-mail message and website scream fake. Weight loss e-mails in general are a scam.

Thanks for the visit anyway.
