Here's another set of spams claiming to come from Inuit. An earlier batch asked me to provide my tax information. This batch confirms my non-existent purchases with links to download my order, reorder checks, and submit feedback. It looks official, with an Intuit logo and nice … [Read more...]
Lame spam of the day: meeting reminder
This one's lame, but probably easy for a busy person at a large company to fall for. I do like the "put on something normal" line. Sender: HullJAIME@aol.com Subject: DONT FORGET!

What’s a good donor database?
I've been enjoying the discussion in the Chronicle of Philanthropy's LinkedIn group in response to the question, "What's a good, affordable donor database program for a small non profit?" (you'll probably need to join the group to read the responses). There have been 120 responses so far, and … [Read more...]
Lame spam of the day: Termination of my CPA license
I'm crushed. I didn't even know I had a CPA license, and now it's being revoked. Over and over (19 times in the past 2 days!). According to the AICPA's web site it's a phishing scam. Unlike most lame spam, at least they bothered to make it look real. Here's what they look … [Read more...]

Lame spam of the day: job offers from ITX

Pinterest and privacy

The description on the Twitter link page says this allows them to: Read Tweets from your … [Read more...]
Lame spam of the day: Prize Winning.
This one should win a prize for lameness. No graphics, no links, no attachment, no signature, nothing. Is someone testing their new spam toy? Sender: WorldWide Lottery (bevile@bevilehotel.com.br) Subject: Prize Winning. Text: Did you receive our email ?? … [Read more...]
Lame spam of the day: Need your help!
This one is simple and intriguing, but obviously a scam. This site says it's a malware delivery mechanism. Sender: KATHRINE BURRELL (accounting@rlweiner.com) -- nope, no Kathrine Burrells work here. Subject: Need your help! Text: Hello! Look, I've received an unfamiliar bill, have … [Read more...]
