Image spam: PDFs for junk mail

Spammers try news ways to get you to click on their ads and get you to buy (willing or unwillingly) from them.

I have seen a huge increase in the past 2 weeks of spam which has little or no subject line – often with the word PDF in it and an attached image in a PDF format.

Unfortunately many people may have had to download the Adobe PDF reader software only to find out it is spam.

As with all spam we suggest you ignore any image spam you may receive.

My Crap mail - 2 months old and counting!

What started as a joke and frustration with a filled mailbox has now turned into an interesting project which has educated a bunch of you on Phishing attempts, urban legends, chain emails, wasteful and deceitful spam and a few good laughs.

What has astonished me is now that I am looking at the spam and emails I get more carefully how many attempts are made every day to rob me blind and steal my identity.

I also see with the arrest of the Ober Spammer a few days ago a significant drop in stock spam.

Today’s words of advice are: “don’t buy anything from someone you don’t know who spam you so we can drive this vermin out of business”
