CyberCrime & Doing Time
As we look towards the Christmas holiday, ’tis the season for freaking out and making poor decisions with regards to online shopping. Tonight a friend reached out to get my help in convincing his family that an incredible laptop sale they saw on laptop was not real.
That’s the ad they saw on Facebook. “Due to special reasons” the company has decided to “sell the last batch of laptops.” If you click the Shop Now button, it takes you to the website “maxwellplaceonhudson[.]com”
Now, I’m not saying that everyone who re-uses an image is a scammer, but John J. Rogers and MaxwellPlaceHudson are using a photo from a 2019 Mainichi News article in Japan about the fact that computers were piling up in warehouses in China. Doesn’t that look familiar?
