About Secure Techie

Secure Techie is an archive of real scam, phishing and fraud emails. Every post reproduces one message as it was received - the headers where they were captured, the body, and a screenshot - and then takes it apart: who it claims to be from, who it is really from, what it wants, and how the scam plays out if you reply.

The site is published by Dewiride Technologies Private Limited. Most of the messages were sent to Dewiride's own mailboxes; the rest are reported by readers.

What you will find here​

  • The Scam Email Archive - every analysis, grouped by the organisation or person it impersonates, by the type of scam, and by the exact subject line, so you can check a message in your own inbox.
  • Latest analyses - new specimens as they arrive, and follow-ups when a campaign sends a revised draft.
  • Tags - by classification (phishing, scam, fraud, fake, extortion) and by technique: government impersonation, credential harvesting, advance-fee fraud, domain scams, job scams and more.

How each analysis is structured​

Analyses published from 2026 onward follow this structure; earlier posts use a shorter form that stops at Red Flags and a Conclusion.

  1. Complete Email - the sender, reply-to, date and subject line where they were captured, then the message verbatim and a screenshot. A few early posts have only the screenshot.
  2. Red Flags - numbered, evidence-led: the domain mismatch, the registry record, the law that does not say what the email says.
  3. How This Scam Works - the sequence that follows if the target replies, drawn from the scam family's known pattern.
  4. Conclusion and Recommendations - what the email really is, what to do now, and how to verify through a channel the sender does not control.
  5. Additional Protection Tips - the general principle the specimen illustrates.

An "At a glance" box at the top of every post summarises the verdict, the subject line, the claimed sender, the impersonated party, the date received and any known variants.

What we look up, what we never touch, how dates work and how to report an error are on the methodology page.

Who writes this​

The analyses are written by Jagdish Kumawat, founder of Dewiride Technologies, who reads the headers, DNS and registry records of every reported message before it is published.
