Spam: A new low

Posted by Michael Klassen on January 22, 2007 in Soapbox

Each week these bottom feeders try new tactics. For a few days they have been using news headlines as subject lines to get you to open their pointless penny stock scam emails.

This morning on an email touting some junk biotech stock the subject line was:

25 U.S. troops die in 1 day

Nice. Of course they're referring to Saturday's tragic story where a Blackhawk Helicopter was downed outside Baghdad and all crew and passengers will killed, the third deadliest day for the US since the beginning of the Iraq misadventure.
