Th3 4r7 0f $3nd!ng spam messages is evolving like never before, and while spammers are still catching up with the newest technologies such as VoIP, WiFi, Cell phones -- newest at least in respect to spamming -- trying to avoid the now mature indystry's practices, and taking advantage of the growing economies and their newbie users as victims, is what keeps it going.

I simply couldn't resist not to share this, seems like this spammer is totally overperforming himself. How would I fell a victim into this, given I cannot read what I'm about to get scammed with?

Spammers today are in a world of pain when it comes to the industry's experience in detecting their messages, still, spam continues to represent the majority of email traffic worldwide, and it's getting more creative. Images, "marketing" messages that you can barely read, old psychological tricks, but still, out of couple of million messages, someone still takes it personal, and feels like making a deal online.

Why spamming works? Because of the ubiquity of email, because of the freely available, marketed as fresh, email lists, and at the bottom line, the price for a spammer to send couple of million emails is getting lower with botnets on demand becoming a commodity. End users, end up sending spam to themselves for being infected with malware. What's next? Spamming is still catching up with the technological posibilities, and Chinese telecom operators for instance happen to be the most experienced ones in filtering mobile phones spam -- guess they're also over-performing in between censorship.
