Robert Weiner

It provided a restaurant guide with reviews, maps, and walking directions; movie reviews and show times for theaters; museum listings; a guide to bars and clubs; locations and contact info for local businesses; and even bathroom locations for cities around the U.S. I used it both on the road and at home. Their home page is a blank screen.

Lame spam of the day: Good Options

Robert Weiner

I couldn't find any info about this spam, so I don't know (and don't plan to test) what the link leads to. This spammer's keyboard is missing the space bar. And is it too much trouble for spammers to make the sender's name match the signer's name? Sender: Christene Higgins (christenehiggins230@hotmail.com). Subject: Good options.

The next day, we receive an email from the donor with the following info: the $9,000 gift amount was a mistake, it should have been $900.

Lame spam of the day: Order Confirmation

Robert Weiner

I don't see any info about the payload and don't intend to find out. It's addressed to "Dear User", doesn't bother to include a human sender name, doesn't mention an airline or destination, and the link clearly goes somewhere fishy. In fact, it doesn't even say the charge is for an airline ticket -- maybe I'm taking a cruise.
