This plain-text spam has no sender, subject, formatting, or graphics. After that comes what looks like an email header, then some spam text, then a bunch of blank lines, and finally, to cap the effort, random text from travel guides. Another newbie spammer playing with a toy? Nothing unusual there.

Lots of spam is coming from fake LinkedIn accounts these days. Š 2010, LinkedIn Corporation. I think favorite lame LinkedIn spam was the one that said it came from LinkedIn Connections [connections@linkedin.com], provided a tracking number, and was formatted like a UPS delivery notification. Review your letters settings.

There were lots of warnings in 2010 about fake eFax messages delivering malware. This one's scary since I'm an eFax user. But I was suspicious that it was asking me to click on a link (pointing to a server in Germany) rather than open an attachment. I don't know what this one does and don't intend to find out. Here's what they look like.

The 2010 Nonprofit Technology Conference session submission process yielded so many great session ideas, we couldn't include them all on the agenda. If you didn't, first check your spam filter (and then add us to your approved contacts list). They're coming right up -- and they're free for NTC registrants. The excitement begins.

Robert Weiner has been documenting this type of SPAM and sharing with the community since 2008. That's the warning coming through the NTEN Discuss list this week when someone asked the list for advice about their domain, which someone from China emailed them they should "protect" by registering other like-domains through them.
