Sholerdegree.com: Newly discovered Scam

I enjoyed receiving spams lately due to my eagerness to bust them right up, and reveal their nasty tricks to the public. This month alone, I have added a dozen of them into the scam list. The scams vary from PTC sites to Online Pharmacies and Paypal Phishing sites. Most of them poses no potential threat but a considerable number of them could be quiet remarkable.

The fake Online Pharmacies composes most of the spam mails circulating the net today, and I have caught some of them. Canadian Pharmacy, Canadian Healthcare, and just recently, I find something new.. Canadian Health&Care Mall.



Actually, this is not new to others, but this scam had somehow finally found its way into my spam mail (my net) the first time around, and that's why they are busted here on my blog. And here, is where I am going to reveal their modus operandi..

The Scam Antics

This site uses fake license, fake doctors, fake address, and of course, faked or no drugs at all! In other words, this site is nothing but pure garbage.

The "About Us" section of this site includes a heartwarming description of its beginnings as a "store of so-called 'useful things,'" written in rather clumsy English. They brag about selling "medication of the best possible quality, licensed and working." But with a fake license, we can conclude what kind of drugs they are selling..

The doctors they use on their page are also not real members of the site. They are pictures taken from www.gettyimage.com according to Spamtrackers.eu.

The addresses they use are also a piece of their mambo jumbo, as according to Google Maps, there are no such offices on the locations they pointed out on their site.



The seals they use on this site also mean nothing. Note that non of these agencies approved them, they just made it up to make their site, at least, look legitimate when in fact, it's not.

Finally, the site uses fake registrations by using other people's names or made-up names to register the site. And as you can see.. no part of the site is real.. they are fictitious imaginations of the crazy scam artists that are desperate enough to make money, thus, using the lamest of all ways!
