Financial Crisis as Universal Spammer HookIt doesn't matter what they're selling. Spammers will find some connection between their garbage and the latest financial situation to lure you to visit a web site.
When a German-language spam arrived here with all kinds of talk about "die Bankenkrise" (bank crisis) and "Panik," I first imagined that the link would be to some sort of e-gold or other type of squirrely money equivalent.
Hier ist Ihr Geld sicher: http://www.[removed].org(Your money is safe here)
What exactly is this safe haven for our dwindling cash?
Would you believe an online casino?
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Danny
