Another scam attempt
Discussion
This is just a heads-up for everyone, no action needed (or in fact possible, I suspect).
Received an email this morning which purported to come from Pistonheads and looked fairly genuine:
Checked the source address and it did say membership@pistonheads.com
However, the message was distinctly fishy:
(a) I don't recall posting much about car security (but that could just be my memory failing),
(b) I'm actually not gullible enough to share that info with anyone I don't know, and
(c) the clincher is that Mr Bossdog (B0ss7Dog) doesn't appear in the member directory.
Just thought you all might want to be aware.

Hey mate,
Hope you're doing very well.
I've read a few of your posts where you clearly have a lot of knowledge in vulnerabilities of car security devices.
I know that if a thief truly wants your car they will ind a way, and I also know you won't tell me the vulnerabilities.
However, I would greatly appreciate if you could gie me a 2024 updated list of tips/tricks you would use to secure your car today.
Thanks so much
