Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for January 14, 2025

Dr Mel, if you’re that hard-up for money, just use the time machine to give your past self the winning Lotto numbers.

“I’m an orbiting prince and I need your help to get 4 million dollar pounds out of space.”

Scams are getting more and more sophisticated they start to sound like actual ligament requests for something.

Recently, I got the exact same scam spam message from three different addresses. C’mon guys, where’s the pride in workmanship?

Dr. Mel is going phishing

This character needs a re-do!

NEVER let a voice on the phone tell you to OK the two-factor authentication message on the your screen. If your email has been hacked, they use that verification to confirm access to your online wallets for various browers. Sites ALWAYS tell you not to give that number to anyone. If you did not personally initiate the message for two-factor authentication, it means someone tried to change your password. If you do positively respond to such a verification request, you are screwed, big time. You can no longer get into your account but they can.

I know that Dr. Mel is a mad scientist; now he’s a scammer as well? No telling what else he’s planning to add to his résumé.

I’ll bet it’s hard to type wearing those gloves…

So Dr mel is really the Nigerian prince

Go ahead. Brewster will mail back all the info you need.

For the life of me I don’t know how people can fall for scams when the scammer wants to be paid in gift cards.
