Hello gang,
This might be a bit of a diatribe, but maybe not. I’ll let the users decide as I’m about fed up with this crap I’m about to discuss within this post.
I’ve been seeing several different emails within the past few days that say Re: something.
As you know, or maybe don’t know, Re: stands for reply when communicating with someone.
If the email says Re: Yes, that means I reply to a subject of yes.
If it contains FW or FWD: it is forwarded.
Check out this email sample I got below.
Hello good morning,
I found that your website isn’t doing well and has errors in Google search results..
I would like to send you a Proposal of your business website!
You can get your website on the 1st page of GOOGLE.
Can I send you Pricing?
It indicates that I originally communicated with them, and they want to send me pricing to fix errors that I can fix myself. The email does not stipulate what’s wrong or what needs fixing.
I got two from the same person that says: Re: yes provide and re: site errors.

First of all, you are sending email to yourself, and BCC-ing (blind carbon copying) whoever else you’re tying to send to. This is not good email etiquette . Even when you send to a mailing list, proper etiquette
When sending to a mailing list, you’re to use the mailing list address. Even when i get email from a mailing list that is built by mail software, all of the addresses are in the to field, and some are in the CC (carbon copy) field.
This is how I’ve used email for the past 30 years.
Now it seems like this Re: crap where Re stands for reply means nothing these days.
Kim Komando has always said that if you get an initial email with the reply type of subject line (Re: studying hard) it could be a potential scam.
Especially if you don’t recognize the name or email address.
I suspect all of this is foreign, I.E. outside the U.S., but i want to bring this to people’s attention. I’m seeing an influx of this crap and I’m not buying.
I’m going to make tthis clear. If there’s an error on any page of my site, please let me know where it is, what page you were on, and what you were expecting. Don’t fucking ask me if you can send the shit over, because my pages clearly state that I want to know what bugs are on my web site(s) you stupid fucks.
I’ve had it with this crap, and the fact that you seem to be emailing random people, I’m not going to fucking respond to this shit. I’m done.
We’ll be in touch. This is starting to just piss me off. We’ll write more later.

Hmmm.
These messages may have some rights.
I have been getting from google some page errors and various things from search console.
However I don’t see any obvious fixes and the errors are visual in nature and I can’t make sence of them at all.
Just like the old php, cache and authorisation errors in wordpress health check I have simply chosen to ignore them as the system continues to function.
So maybe there are errors detected but I have no idea how to fix these and they have been about most of this year.
Nothing else has gone wrong and even with the updates made with various things who knows.
There have been a few slowdowns but who knows.
So this stuff could be semi lagit to a point but I have no idea how to fix the underlying infrastructure.
Look at the wp health check screen in admin and you will see what I mean.
This aint load another plugin, configure a key, its possible that its more than my skillset can handle.
Sadly even if it is something I could possibly handle if you have been following my blog, I am simply out of time.
Winter is my down time when I fix issues and do inside things, and the end of year stuff starts next week.
After that I have a few things offline to handle then I am off again.
The same happens over the year.
Based on current scheduals if I do anything long term which needs anything really massive that won’t happen till mid june next year through to potentially october but who knows if other stuff comes along.
Since I am an uncle and a few other things I actually have a lot of extras outside the matrix of the network and lord knows I have been trying to get some sort of life outside the collective.
So while I have time in here its more structured rather than do this here there and everywhere.
Even this weekend is no exception.
So while these are obviously spam there have been underlying issue with the infrastructure I have no idea how to fix.
