I've seen several flavors of this spam lately. The formatting is pretty good -- not the usual lameness. It's the content that's lame. This site says they're from an online pharmacy. Version 1: Sender: YouTube Service (service@youtube.com) Subject: YouTube Service sent you a message: … [Read more...]
Blackbaud’s acquisition of Convio is a done deal
Blackbaud completed its purchase of Convio. The next adventure starts today, as we wait to see what the future holds for their various systems. … [Read more...]
Blackbaud – Convio merger expected to close this week
The Department of Justice signed off on Blackbaud's acquisition of Convio last week, and it looks like the deal will close this week. This is just the beginning of the story. I expect that it will take at least several months, and probably several years, before the dust settles and we … [Read more...]
Lame spam of the day: Amazon cancelation
Lame lame lame. This doesn't look remotely like an email from Amazon. And of course it's not for a product I ordered. Would someone really click this? Previous incarnations of this spam have led to a Canadian online pharmacy, and the hyperlinks in this one lead to a site in … [Read more...]
Lame spam of the day: My Name is Tuma
OK, this hits all the marks for lameness. No graphics, no link, no attachment, no offer, no call to action. Someone must be playing with their new spambot. The message is exactly as it appears below, including the blank lines at the beginning: Sender: tuma ahoussou … [Read more...]
Lame spam of the day: CareerBuilder position notices
I'm being deluged by these today. This site says they're malware delivery vehicles. Version 1: Subject: Open position which you might be interested in. Sender: Vielka@site.careerbuilder.com Text: Hello, I am a customer service employee at CareerBuilder. I found a vacant position at … [Read more...]
Lame spams of the day: confirmation from [insert social network name]
Is it a trend or just me? In the past 2 days I've received spams in the form of confirmations from MySpace, Habbo, Tagged, and Foursquare. They don't look related, but it's an odd coincidence. Here they are: 1) Subject: Please confirm your Myspace account cancellation Sender: … [Read more...]
Lame spam of the day: pizza order
This one was entertaining. Apparently I ordered $93 worth of pizza from "Pizza by ARMO" (which looks like a variant of Pizza by GEROLAMO). I must have been hungry. Fortunately, the message has the helpful line, "If you haven't made the order and it's a fraud case, please follow the … [Read more...]
Lame Spam of the Day: Poker Associates
This spam is typical of "you've won the ___ lottery" scams. I'm mostly tickled by the sender's name. Would you bet on Poker Associates? There's no link or attachment, so one would have to reply to test@xiaoyinmu.com -- wouldn't that cause some concerns? Sender: POKER ASSOCIATES … [Read more...]
Lame spam of the day: US Airways reservation
I got 8 of these at 2 different email addresses, always a sign of spam. The pitch is similar to the American Airlines ticket scam but not as well done. The U.S. Air logo looks terrible, the formatting is sloppy, all the departure cities and times are the same -- only the flight number … [Read more...]
