So we got a message on a wordpress board about Scatman John a famous stuttering jazz musician. Otherwise known as John Paul Larkin, he was a champion for the stuttering community and a very successful artist.

Now how low will spammers go? Some scam artist at freemp3bank.org sinks so low as to post spam messages on our website just to increase hits to their site. They even go so far as using dead musicians to boost their income.

Sometimes comapnies try extra hard to make it LOOK like they are fighting spam. On the pills2.com website they have a nifty little form that you can fill out to report spam. They are lying to you. The way an affiliate system works, an html link MUST be clicked on for a spammer to get paid. The only time a spammer does not include html links is when they actually own the website they are spamming for. The following spam message was included inside of a graphic in an email. There is no way to click on any link because no link exists. The bottom line? Pills2.com is a spammer website that sends unsolicited email to get new customers. DO NOT SHOP with them. Do not trust their products. If they use shady business practices to get customers they may be sending shady products to their customers. In general it is a good idea to avoid most ”if not all” online pharmacies.

FROM: MRS. MARIAM ABACHA
Plot 1 Sanni Abacha Crescent,
Sabon Geri Kano State.

Attn:President/ceo

I am Mrs. Mariam Abacha, the widow of the late Gen. Sanni Abacha former Nigeria Military Head of State who
died mysteriously as a result of Cardiac Arrest. Since after my husband’s death i have been under
restriction of movement and that not withstanding,my family members are being molested, policed and our Bank Account both here and abroad are being frozen by the Nigeria Civilian Government.

Following the recent discovery of my husband’s Bank Account by the Nigeria Government with Swiss Bank in
which the huge sum of US$700 Million and DM450 Million was logged. I therefore decided to contact you in
confidence that I was able to move out the sum of US$28.6 Million Dollars,which was secretly defaced
and is sealed in two Metal boxes for security reasons.

I therefore personally, appeal to you Seriously and religiously for your urgent assistance to move this
money into your country where I believe it will be safe since I cannot leave the country due to the
restriction of movement imposed on me and members of my family by the Nigeria Government.

Please kindly send me your telephone number,fax number and also your full name,address which I will hand
over to my attorney to prepare you on how to claim the funds from the security company.

However,arrangements have been put in place to move this money out of the country in a secret vault
through a security company, and as soon as you indicate your interest my Lawyer shall
send you all related documents that will enable you claim the Luggage on my behalf.

Conclusively, we have agreed to offer you 25% of the total sum while 70% is to be held on trust by you
until we can decide on a suitable business investment in your country subsequent to our free movement by the
Nigeria Government. While 5% is mapped out for expenses as your government may demand for tax and it
also covers your telephone bills.

Please reply urgently and treat with absolute confidentiality and sincerity.
NOTE:Please reply me through my alternative email address which is more confidential and secured email :mariamabacha332211@yahoo.it

Best regards.

Hajia Mariam Abacha(Mrs).

The following company sends spam out to try to entice you to buy their stock. They are spamming millions of people just to get their name out. Never trust a “stock tip” sent via spam to millions of people. This is a scam. You will lose money. They start dozens of these things every month.

Sometimes people can be very unintelligent.

This is why spamming is so lucrative. No doubt some people think the following email is legit. They may think they are actually signing up for a job. This is one of the easiest ways for a spammer to get personal information: Social Engineering. They simply trick people into thinking they are getting a service when in reality they are getting “taken for a ride”.

So… Cialis must be a BIG seller. We constantly get spam for this penile enhancement drug. I truly am sorry for the poor guys who need to rely on this to get it on, but I am even more sorry for the naive who actually click on these kind of links to get product. Many times no product is actually delivered. Sometimes if anything gets delivered at all, the product the is nothing more than sugar pills. Sometimes it is a poor quality generic wannabe that would never even be allowed to sell in the United States legally. The bottom line is, these companies are a scam. Buy your medicine from a pharmacy, not an unknown online spammer.

Now for the email as I received it:

Hello,
Cial1s S0ft Tabs is the new impotence treatment drug that everyone is talking about. It has benefits over V1agra and other ED treatment solutions. Here goes some reasons to choose Cial1s S0ft Tabs:
1. You can mix alcohol drinks with Cial1s S0ft Tabs without any undesired effects.
2. Cial1s S0ft Tabs does not make you feel dizzy or make vision blurred, so you can easily drive a car or operate heavy machinery.
3. Cial1s S0ft Tabs works much faster than any known ED treatment solution. Cial1s S0ft Tabs enters the bloodstream directly instead of going through the stomach, thus you need only 15 minutes till you feel the effect.
4. And at last, but not least, Cial1s S0ft Tabs acts up to 36 hours, compare this to only two or three hours of Viagra action!

Express-click.com and express-reward.com sends out unsolicited spam. The following message was sent and was not masked at all. It’s funny when the spammers are stupid enough to not even hide their real identity. Look closely at all the xxxxxxx’s. I have replaced the unique numbers with these xxxxxx’s so the company could not trace the email back to me. It’s called phishing. If you forward or reply to the email, they have a a system which immediately lets them know who you are! By replying, you let them know that there is a real person at your email address. They will certainly NOT send you a Home Depot gift card, but they WILL send you a lot more spam!

What does Paris Hilton have to do with Spam? NOTHING. But a message about Paris Hilton is more likely to be opened by adolescents wanting to buy stock in AMSN. What is Amerossi International Group? Apparently it’s a low budget fly by night company greedy enough to spam horny teenagers in order to get attention!

What a deal! You better jump on that stock NOW!

Before we even start, please make yourself aware of the Classic Nigerian Email scams found on snopes.com:

Now, on to another of the thousands of versions of the same spam scam theme:

Department of Minerals & Energy
Pretoria South Africa.
Fax: +27- 86 516 9900
Fax: +27- 86 516 9351

Attention: President/CEO

I write, asking for your indulgence in re-profiling funds to tune of Fifty
Million, Eight Hundred Thousand United States Dollars(US$52.8M) which we
want kept safely overseas under your supervision.

In other words, we would like you to receive the said funds on our behalf.
The Funds were derived over time from a project awarded to a foreign firm
by my Department, and presently the actual contract cost have been paid to
the original project executors, leaving the balance in the tune of the
said amount which we have in principle obtained approval to remit
overseas.

Kindly pardon the use of a medium as informal as this for reaching out to
you to make a request of great importance to us.

Currently, I work as a Director of Projects at the Department of Minerals
& Energy here in Pretoria South Africa. I have the authority and approval
of my partners involved in this transaction to negotiate a suitable
compensation for your participation and I propose 32.2 percent for you,
while we also propose that we receive 56.6 percent and 11.2 percent are
earmarked for purposes of taxation and other expenses.

This endeavor has a minimal risk factor on your part provided you treat it
with the utmost discretion. You are advised to reach me through my private
fax for more information.

I am available via fax to discuss further with you. I kindly wait to hear
from you.

Yours Sincerely,
Mr. Richard Khoza.

A very ambitious group of spammers gives out their phone number in the body of the spam message. They send unsolicited emails saying how much more money you can make if you get a degree, and they give a phone number to call: 213-596-5770. So I called it and got a recording. Would you be stupid enough to spam millions of people then give them your phone number? This company is.

Now before you go calling them, be careful! Many spammers are out to get your phone number! If you call them they can record your Caller ID and then sell your number to other unruly people.

Do you know how to handle all of this spam?
