Scammers & Spammers – Praemonitus praemunitus
It’s time to fight back!
This is where SME Cyber Insights tracks the lies, the lures, the lazy copy-and-paste cons, and the more polished social engineering campaigns that keep landing in British inboxes.
We have been exposing scams, spam campaigns, phishing attempts, impersonation fraud, and every other flavour of cyber-enabled nonsense for one simple reason: UK SMEs are still being targeted at industrial scale.
This page brings that work together in one place.
It also reflects something more hands-on. Through the good offices of @AnIlluminatus, our dedicated investigator, we do not just observe scams from a safe distance. We dig into them, trace the methods, document the patterns, and, where it helps, deploy @AnIlluminatus as a live #ScamBaiter to show exactly how these operators work.
That matters because scams aimed at SMEs are rarely random. They are well-timed, persuasive, and designed to catch busy finance teams, overstretched directors, and staff with too much on their plate. A fake invoice, a spoofed supplier email, or a WhatsApp message from a supposed boss can become a genuine business problem very quickly.
So yes, it is time to fight back.
We are here to expose scammers, call out spamming inbox vermin, highlight the tricks, show the patterns, and help SMEs spot the warning signs before damage is done. And when a business has already been caught out, we will point to the best-practice steps that help contain the mess, recover properly, and make the next attempt much harder to land.
