Thinks happen: The Viagra-Microsoft-msn-Spam-Scam

No Reason.
I just thought
it was clever.

Things ain't what they used to be.
(In fact, they never was.)
The Profile (more than you really wanted to know) is here.

Here is a spam/scam that has invaded my email. All the spam key words are inside a graphic. The only actual text in the spam are the words "About this mailing:" and all after. Words like Microsoft and MSN are actually text. And the spam filter lets those alone.

The "Links" (disabled in this illustration) to "Unsubscribe", "More Newsletters" and "Privacy" are actually links back to the perpetrating viagra site. Not to MSN.

I suspect that it could be coming from inside my own computer. It generates an email from me and sends it to me. (nearly every day) The spam filter does not catch it because it is from me.

Do you have a solution?

This is the newest version. Did you ever hear of Colorgraphics - com? (not "dot com")
It's the same scam, it appears to come from myself sent to myself so none of the filters seem to catch it. The entire content is a picture so no text is caught by the filters either. The text beginning with "You have received" is actual text. Note the error "pecial" at the end of the first line.

I receive as many as 30 a day of the above. Do they think I am stupid? Certainly they are not too bright if they keep paying for this when only an imbecile would buy anything from a spam, especially medications!

One thing now, I have decided that it is not being generated by my own computer as there is never any of this in my outgoing box, where it must be until I elect to send it.
