Desperate spam
Just received a rather, er, hopeful spam:
Your credit card will be billed at $22.95 weekly and free 3 pack of child [removed] CD is shipping to your billing address. To cancel your membership and CD pack please email full credit card details to dnsadmin@[removed].com Ready to enjoy all types of underage [removed]? We have the best selection for every taste! Click the secret link below and have fun…
(censorship done by me to avoid me getting on Google for that sort of search term)
Giving up on fake versions of your bank’s login page and viruses that steal you details and trojans that open your machine for sniffing, are they? “Please email full credit card details“? Is anyone stupid enough to do this?
Funnily enough, in the pub last night I was told that the young lady on the next table had fallen for a similar con: the email said something like, “Hi, we’re Barclays. Please email us the following: sort code, account number, user name, mother’s maiden name, favourite colour, idea of a perfect date, shoe size, …”.
She duly did this and within 45 minutes her account had been emptied up to her overdraft limit.

I assume that was a rhetorical question, but the kiddie pr0n reference is enough to make a lot of people panic.
