Lame spam of the day: Hiccough

Robert Weiner

This one is just weird. Yes, the subject line was "hiccough". No graphics, no attempt to make the sender's name match the signature line, no company name, and not (obviously) selling anything. I hope no one would click on something like this. Sender: vered.ed@zim.co.il. Subject: Hiccough. Text: Good Evening, robert@rlweiner.com. For three minutes all had been ready, but they still delayed and all were silent.

Lame spam of the day: IRS notices

Robert Weiner

I got two spams this week claiming to come from the IRS. They look like different schemes -- one is trying to get me to call a 900 number at $4.79/minute, the other includes a link. But they look similar so I'm posting them together. Message 1: Sender: Tiera Tanner (AditaOki@megpgh.com). Subject: Rejection of your tax appeal. Text: Dear Business taxpayer, Hereby you are notified that your Income Tax Refund Appeal id#7138565 has been DECLINED.
