I think this is a dating scam.

I received the dating type invitation pasted below.

The issue is that it came via the unique email address I created for the sole use of Prado Point. It should not be known to anyone else on the planet.

If Prado Point has been hacked other members here may be affected.


Good day my all new friend, I'm Perizat, I'm actually 34 y.o, I live in Kazakhstan.

I'm actually a truly friendly lovely lady who is in search of a devoted and simply trusting fella, my own second half. I was handed your personal e mail in a date matching agency of my own place.

Im just in need of a heavy love, teasing around & game are certainly not in my position. If i trapped your curiosity and connection at a distance is definitely not an obstacle for you personally, after that let's continue.

In case this can be an issue, simply forget my email. I wish you an awesome day time and a marvelous mood.

I most certainly will look forward to your letter together with your pics.

Yours Truly, Perizat.Kindly respond to ONLY to my email address in case you may have interest in it: [e-mail]

I used to think I was pretty much just a regular person, but I was born white, into a two-parent household which now, whether I like it or not, makes me privileged, a racist, responsible for slavery and Genocide of Aboriginals. .

I am a fiscal and moral conservative, which by today's standards, makes me a fascist because I plan, budget, and support myself.

I went to Public School and have always held a job. But I now find out that I am not here because I earned it, but because I was "advantaged".

I am heterosexual, which according to some folks, now makes me a homophobe.

I am not a Muslim, which now labels me as an infidel.

I am older than 70, making me a useless eater who doesn't understand Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or Snapchat.

I think, and I reason, and I doubt most of what the ‘mainstream’ media tells me, which makes me a Right-wing conspiracy nut.

I am proud of my heritage and our inclusive culture, making me a xenophobe.

I believe in hard work, fair play, and fair reward according to each individual's merits, which today makes me an anti-socialist.

I believe our system guarantees freedom of effort - not freedom of outcome or subsidies which must make me a borderline sociopath.

I believe in the defence and protection of my nation for and by all citizens, now making me a militant.

I am proud of our flag, what it stands for, and the many who died to let it fly, so I stand during our National Anthem - so I must be a racist.

Please help me come to terms with the new me because I'm just not sure who I am anymore!

Funny - it all took place over the last decade!

If all this nonsense wasn't enough to deal with, now I don't even know which toilet to use... and these days I gotta go more frequently!

I had to call a mate last Sunday, he was 80.

He doesn't get any scams on he's computer, he hasn't got one, i said aren't you getting one? No i don't understand them modern things, well you can learn, no.

I thought everyone had one by now.

The link last part https:// atto-cafe.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com/vss.html  i.e. the primary website amazonaws.com looks legit and over 6000 days old.

However the content of the sub-domain (the front part) then takes it to a Russian website i.e. country code .ru
