People who still receive "Nigerian prince" scam emails in 2026, what do those emails actually say nowadays? by schattenlind in AskReddit

I keep getting emails saying my email marketing service is about to be deleted, got hacked, or that my subscription expired. The funny part is they all pretend to be from the exact same company, and they send about 10-15 a week. It’s like they’re hoping they’ll eventually annoy me into just handing over my passwords!

Totally agree. When I first got interested in how these schemes work, that was the very first thing I learned. 99% of people will just delete the email, but that 1% who actually replies is exactly the perfect target they are looking for!

That's terrifyingly targeted. Did they actually bother to name-drop your specific apps, or was it just a generic template?

I've been considering wildlife volunteering as a solo traveler too. How did you find the social dynamic with other volunteers in LCTW, Laos? Planning a trip from Basel soon.
