This type of phishing scam is common as dirt, but this example is particularly lame. First, it includes the sections of CitiBank's standard notices that would normally include the account holder's name and the last 4 digits of the account -- but they're blank. Then there are some … [Read more...]
Lame spam of the day: May be try it?
This one purports to come from LinkedIn. It has the familiar blue line and uses their font (but not their logo). But the sender name shows clearly that it didn't come from LinkedIn and there's no way the text could be seen as a legitimate LinkedIn message. Sender: LinkedIn … [Read more...]
Lame spam of the day: self-identified spam
This one is peculiar. My name isn't on the To line, and there's no offer, link, or attachment. Lot's of non-Western characters (or random text) in the subject & sender lines. This message didn't come from my anti-spam software and my ISP says it didn't come from theirs. To: … [Read more...]
Lame spam of the day: messages from YouTube
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.

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...]
