Odd code in spam email.

September 14, 2007 Technology and Gadgets No Comments

I got this odd spam today. The odd thing is the ’3D’s that are used in the code. The link at the bottom is strange too. What is ‘.c=om’ ? Here is the message code:

 

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

<HTML><HEAD>

<META http-equiv=3DContent-Type

content=3D”text/html; charset=3DWindows-1252″>

I did not click on the link because I am not sure where I will end up. And taytidp.com does not exist. Looks like a phishing type of scam to me.

Currently there are "no comments" on this Article:

  1. Gee that iiiiis weird! Few things are as annoying as spam!

    Smart! Glad you didn’t click on anything…

  2. Alex says:

    Ciao Farfallina, yep, it sure is wierd, and annoying.

    I was tempted to click, more out of curiosity than for any other reason, but common sense prevailed, thankfully, and I decided to see what others would make of it, hence the post. I could not find that much on the www about this, although I only searched briefly.

    Spam iseems to be getting more and more sophisticated by the day.

    Regards,

    Alex

  3. I have been visiting this site a lot lately, so i thought it is a good idea to show my appreciation with a comment.

    Thanks,

Francesco Cossiga Understood Italy

18 Aug 2010

For those who did not know, Francesco Cossiga, who died the other day, was an Italian politician and one time President of Italy. Cossiga hailed from Sardinia, was a fan of John Le Carre and had earned himself the nickname “the pickaxe” owing to his no holds barred criticism of other Italian politicians.

Berlusconi Divorces Fini

30 Jul 2010

Kotipizza Berlusconi

From spat to full-blown split. Silvio Berlusconi’s marriage of political convenience to Gianfranco Fini has ended in tears. Scorned lover Berlusconi even rejected Fini’s last minute attempts to kiss and make up and remain part of Berlusconi’s party of love. End of love in. Period.
