[WikiEN-l] Grubby spam mail

Sat May 1 12:58:34 UTC 2004

Has anyone else been getting messages like the one
below in their e-mail accounts?

"Just got this from CNN Osama Bin Laden has just been captured! A video
and some pictures have been released. Goto the link below for pictures, 
I will update the page with the video as soon as I can"

A link then is then given, which contains the
expression God Bless America.

However, if you click on it, you'll get a Hungarian
porn site showing pictures of silly young women with,
well, I don't think that's condensed milk that's been
splattered on their faces. 

The reason why I suspect a connection with this chat
site is that it's the only place where my e-mail 
address appears. Maybe someone who uses it got a virus? Alternately, some spammer found a way of bypassing the user-at-website format. 

BTW, the e-mail address where this message comes from 
is phony. It supposedly comes from yahoo, but yahoo 
says that the address is a spoof one.
