Spammers Going Topsy-Turvy

I noticed an odd pair of spam messages this morning that makes me wonder if spammers expect recipients to look at the URLs and domain names they include in their messages.

One medz spam (or should I say "p harm" spam) has a link to a domain name that includes the word "refi," as in "refinance." And a mortgage spam (or should I say "M0rtg age" spam) has a link with a domain name that includes the word "medico."

I did like the fact that the mortgage spammer gives sufficient clues to the observant recipient. The complete link (with domain name disguised) is:

Has he been reading some of my recent blog posts?
