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...]
Lame spam of the day: Hiccough
This one is just weird. Yes, the subject line was "hiccough". No graphics, no attempt to make the sender's name match the signature line, no company name, and not (obviously) selling anything. I hope no one would click on something like this. Sender: vered.ed@zim.co.il Subject: … [Read more...]
Lame spam of the day: IRS notices
I got two spams this week claiming to come from the IRS. They look like different schemes -- one is trying to get me to call a 900 number at $4.79/minute, the other includes a link. But they look similar so I'm posting them together. Message 1: Sender: Tiera Tanner … [Read more...]
Lame spam of the day: Traffic ticket N88790
OK, this one's novel. It claims to be a notification from a red-light camera. Even though I've never been in (or heard of) this city, it's tempting to make sure I'm not the victim of a bureaucratic mistake. But I was able to resist because of the lameness of the message. The … [Read more...]
Lame spam of the day: It’s important!
I hope no one is stoopid or careless enough to fall for something this lame. Here's the totality of the message. No graphics, no name, nothin. Sender: Customer Informer (chdkz@dnco.com) Subject: It's important! Text: Your personal link: http://vykrd.pillscloud.ru … [Read more...]
