Spam is getting "creative"



Um... hate to break it to them... but I'm pretty sure all my friends are still alive.

(Seriously though, this is pretty disgusting. Odds are they're going to hit SOMEONE who's just suffered a loss, and most people aren't really thinking too clearly at those times. Which I'm sure is what they're counting on! What an abhorrent way to prey on people.)

Um... wut?

Just found this in my inbox. Either they've relaxed their age requirement a LOT or they're getting my birthday out of some weird parallel universe.

"iTunes gift certificate" spam

I just got this today so I thought I'd pass along a heads-up: if you get an email saying "Thank you for buying iTunes Gift Certificate!" from the email address "online.software@itunes.com", telling you to open an attachment to find the certificate code - don't. It's a trojan horse virus. (Details can be found here.)

Haven't seen this one before...

lottery scam )

They don't ask outright for sensitive information, but really, winning a lottery I've never even heard of? Somehow I don't think there's someone out there just picking out e-mail addys to give free money to.
