Don't fall for christmas spam!
    #7778138 - 12/19/07 03:27 PM (16 years, 1 month ago)

Just a heads up, there's a huge surge in spam lately, trying to exploit the spirit of the holidays by posing as christmas wishes etc. especially as fake Christmas/New Year eCards, which when you click em installs some spyware.

Be a bit more vigilant in your mailbox than ordinarily and you'll be OK.

On a more positive note: in Holland a group of spammers got caught and fined for over a million dollars for a spam & spyware operation. ("dollar revenue") What gave me the christmas feeling is that the ringleaders of the operation were fined THEMSELVES (not the organization), and are now facing having to personally cough up 100.000s of dollars (well, Euros) each. :yesnod:

Sorry bout that, I just loathe spam & spyware crap.

cool, thanks. it's not so hard for me since i only communicate with a small amount of people through email.. but i'm sure this could trick a whole lot of people into clicking the wrong link.

also, that's great about the spammers being caught. you'd think it would be a higher priority to get people like this caught more often.. but sadly a lot of things take precedence over it.
