pdf spam... what a great idea!

Spam has been a nuisance since spam exists.

Fortunately, we can find great anti-spam tools like bayesian filters integrated to popular free e-mail software such as Mozilla Thunderbird or Foxmail. These filters can identify easily 90% of all incoming spam, sometimes even more.

That's why the spammers have come up with a new trick, pdf spam.

In case of empty messages with an attached pdf file, even bayesian filters have problems to classify them as spam or non-spam, since there isn't anything to analyze.

On the other hand, why should I even waste my time clicking on a pdf file that fjkjkjkmdjf@perfecta$$hole.com is sending to me?

And supposed that I really have nothing better to do, why should I believe anything that a guy using a bizarre (and probably fake) e-mail adress is trying to tell me?

How many investors in the whole world really could be stupid enough not to see the difference between a fake investment alert and a real one?

I guess there might be more stupid spammers hoping to make big money with dirty little tricks than stupid investors...
