❗SCAM UPDATE | It’s been over 5 months and Philippine National Police central mailservers continue to send advance fee fraud scam emails. Now complete with a barrage of contentless "I hope this message finds you well " removal requests.

But there's more.....

Spamhaus researchers are observing two recently uncovered "dating scams" (see SBL listings): https://www.spamhaus.org/sbl/query/SBL628058

Scam 1 targets German BDSM lovers 👀, while scam 2 (from a "Pussy_Esmeralda_3" 😼) targets Italian men....

Interestingly, the "Reply-To address" which is the only spam payload is a '@pnp.gov.ph' address. This strongly suggests spammers have obtained a password, made the mailbox inaccessible to the legit owner, and are using it to interact with the scam victims.

Despite a number of SBL listings Philippine National Police still appear to be unaware of the situation - let's hope this information reaches the right people to prompt action. ✅
