Work-at-home spam with some twists

The spam bucket is a great place to go looking for net ugliness. And when you�re in this business, that�s business as usual. Here�s a new one:

Today we checked out a spam email contained random letters and characters and a link in the middle of the body:



OK, we�ll bite (don�t try this at home.) We�ll see what sexycake555@hotmail.com is selling:

The link leads to a web site moneymakermother.com (domain registered June 10, address information withheld) that tries to look like a television station web page featuring the �Clearwater Job Report,� clearly drawing on the fact that I�m coming at it from Clearwater Florida.

�Work At Home Mom Makes $8,795/Month Part-Time� is the headline they want you to see.




Coupla problems with the page though:

-- There�s no �Daily News 7� around here
-- The links on the top of the page (�Sign in� etc.) aren�t links, they�re just text.)




And the best one: The weather box:



A high temperature in the 60s this time of year in Florida? Riiiiiiiight!

Here�s the real forecast from weather.com: how about highs the 90s:



The MoneyMakerMother page has lots of testimonials and a form for you to fill out to get your �FREE STARTER KIT.� You �Only Pay The $9.95 S&H Fee!�

So, somebody�s making $9.95 selling shipping and handling to suckers. They�ll do direct deposit too, so, you can give them your bank account information.

Riiiiiiiight!
