Lame spams of the day: Fake Amazon and PayPal receipts

Robert Weiner

These aren't as lame-looking as most of the spam I write about: they use the right logos, fonts, and typefaces.

Lame spam of the day: Meeting invitation from George Adoo

Robert Weiner

This spam arrived in the form of a meeting invitation. My Outlook spam filter (SpamBayes) doesn''t seem to look at meeting invitations, and it also slipped past the SpamAssassin filter on my mail server.
