OK so what about this deal:
Hello Friend,
This will make you smile. You're qualified to gain access to the same auto-payment system that allowed me to generate over $1200/day with just 10 minutes everyday.
Click here to see the instructions and demo I'm starting to see newbies have success with this auto-payment software and they're just now starting out.
And there is no tech skills or website needed!
And this is why ordinary people are doing over 2,000.00 into their bank accounts within just a few days!
(notice-even a 67-year old beginner student basically ran SEVEN of these gigs which I did not even know was possible with only a few clicks and then some speaking -until he showed me on his account login screens!! see PROOF inside)
See it for yourself here
Chat soon,
Stacy

Success Lexus, 8063 Madison Ave Indianapolis, United States, Indiana IN 46227, United States
This email is a classic example of a scam, specifically a get-rich-quick scheme often involving affiliate marketing fraud or phishing for personal data.
Here's a breakdown of the red flags and why it's a scam:
Red Flags
-
Unsolicited Commercial Email (Spam): You didn't sign up for this. It's an unsolicited commercial email promoting an unrealistic money-making opportunity. The recipient email address "[email protected]" itself sounds suspicious.
-
Exaggerated Income Claims: "$1200/day with just 10 minutes everyday" and "over 2,000.00 into their bank accounts within just a few days!" These are highly improbable claims designed to hook you with the promise of easy, massive wealth. Legitimate online income takes time, effort, and skill.
-
No Tech Skills or Website Needed: This is a common deceptive selling point for these schemes. They promise you can make money effortlessly, without any prior knowledge or tools, which is rarely true for sustainable income.
-
Vague Language and Buzzwords: "Auto-payment system," "auto-payment software," "gigs," "few clicks and then some speaking" - these terms are intentionally vague and lack specific details about how the money is generated. This prevents scrutiny and makes it sound mysterious and exclusive.
-
Sense of Urgency/Exclusivity: "You're qualified to gain access..." implies a special opportunity that won't last, pressuring you to click the link immediately.
-
Anecdotal "Proof" Without Real Evidence: The story about the "67-year old beginner student" making a lot of money with "SEVEN of these gigs" is a common tactic. It's an emotional appeal designed to make you think "if they can do it, so can I!" but provides no verifiable proof.
-
Generic Sender Name ("Stacy"): A first name without a last name or company role makes it difficult to verify the sender's identity.
-
Suspicious Unsubscribe Instructions: "clicking spam will not help" is an odd and potentially manipulative instruction. Legitimate senders want you to use their unsubscribe link, but they also acknowledge that marking as spam is a valid way to stop unwanted emails. This line suggests they know their emails are likely to be marked as spam.
-
Disguised Link: While the email text says "Click here to see the instructions and demo" and "See it for yourself here," the actual URL the link points to is hidden. It's almost certainly not to a legitimate "auto-payment system" but to a sales page for a low-quality product, a phishing site, or malware.
-
Generic Disclaimer (Copied and Pasted): The lengthy disclaimer at the bottom, mentioning "Centura Co" and generic privacy policies, is likely copied and pasted boilerplate text. It's often included to give a veneer of legitimacy and legal compliance, but it has no bearing on the fraudulent nature of the primary offer. The address "Success Lexus, 8063 Madison Ave Indianapolis" is also generic and could be a fake address or a shared office space with no actual connection to the "deal."
How This Scam Works
If you click the link, you will likely be led to:
- A "Sales Funnel": A slick, professionally designed webpage (or series of pages) featuring more hyped-up testimonials, "proof" videos, and emotional triggers designed to convince you that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
- A "Low-Cost" Entry Product: They won't ask for thousands of dollars upfront. Instead, they'll offer access to their "system" or "software" for a seemingly small, irresistible fee (e.g., $37, $47). This is often just a basic PDF, a series of generic videos, or a link to free information that you could find yourself.
- Upsells and Downsells: Once you've paid the initial fee, you'll be bombarded with "upsells" - offers for more expensive "premium" versions, "coaching," "exclusive tools," or "advanced training" that they claim are necessary to really make the big money. These can quickly escalate to hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
- No Real Value: The "auto-payment system" or "software" will likely be worthless. It might be a rehashed version of common (and often ineffective) online marketing techniques, or simply a non-functional product.
- Affiliate Marketing Loop: Sometimes, these "systems" are just teaching you how to promote their same scam to others, making you an unwitting participant in their fraudulent scheme.
Conclusion
Do not click on any links in this email. Delete it immediately. It's designed to separate you from your money by promising unrealistic returns for minimal effort. There is no legitimate "auto-payment system" that will generate $1200 a day with 10 minutes of work. If such a thing existed, everyone would be doing it, and nobody would be sharing it for a small fee via spam email.
So are you saying that even the legal blurb at the bottom is completely false?
Yes, in the context of this scam email, even the legal blurb at the bottom is essentially false and misleading. Here's why:
-
Copied and Pasted Boilerplate: The text itself is generic, commonly found in legitimate privacy policies. Scammers frequently copy and paste these from real websites to lend an air of legitimacy to their fraudulent communications. They're trying to make their spam look like a professional business communication.
-
Lack of Specificity to the "Deal": The blurb talks about "Centura Co" and general privacy practices related to website visitors, purchasing from a "store," and marketing emails. It has no specific relevance to the highly dubious "auto-payment system" and the unrealistic income claims made in the main body of the email. It's a smokescreen.
-
No Genuine "Company" Behind It: While there might be legitimate companies named "Centura Co" (a quick search shows several, for example, Centura Health, Centura Brands, Centura FX, Centura Group, Centura Imaging, Centura Wealth Advisory, etc. - none of which appear to be related to "auto-payment systems" for making $1200/day), it's highly unlikely that any of them are actually behind this specific email. The scammer has likely just picked a random company name to make the disclaimer seem plausible.
-
Misleading Unsubscribe Mechanism: The line "(clicking spam will not help)" is a significant red flag within the disclaimer section itself. Legitimate companies comply with spam laws and email best practices, which include honoring spam reports. A statement like this is designed to discourage you from reporting them and tries to force you into using their potentially malicious unsubscribe link, which might:
- Confirm your email is active to them, leading to more spam.
- Lead you to a page where they try to harvest more of your data.
- Not work at all.
-
Address Discrepancy: The address "Success Lexus, 8063 Madison Ave Indianapolis, United States, Indiana IN 46227, United States" is also highly suspicious.
- "Success Lexus" is a car dealership, not typically associated with "auto-payment software."
- It's a physical address that's easy to copy. Scammers often use legitimate addresses of unrelated businesses or even random residential addresses to appear credible without actually having a presence there.
In essence, the legal blurb is a theatrical prop in the scam. Its purpose is not to genuinely inform you about data practices (because they have no intention of adhering to them) but to:
- Build False Trust: Make the email appear more professional and less like typical spam.
- Deter Suspicion: People might see a privacy policy and think, "Oh, this must be legitimate because it has all this legal text."
- Create a Barrier to Action: The "clicking spam will not help" line is designed to manipulate your response.
Always remember: if a deal sounds too good to be true, and especially if it arrives unsolicited with vague promises of easy money, ignore any attempts at legalistic window dressing. It's almost certainly a scam.
