Casa Spam: trucchi e consigli antispam

Scaricando la posta con uno dei tanti client, negli ultimi mesi ho notato una cosa strana.

Il programma lascia in grassetto i messaggi non letti. E fin qui tutto normale. Ma una volta letti, questi messaggi vengono visualizzati col carattere normale. Eppure, appena avevo letto tutta la posta arrivata, il programma mi segnalava ancora un messaggio in arrivo.

Mi sono quindi accorto che era un messaggio di spam. Datato prima del primo messaggio ricevuto. Fin ora questi messaggi retrodatati arrivavano al massimo a qualche mese prima, forse un anno, non di più.

Ma proprio oggi me n’è arrivato uno che porta la data del 1° Marzo 1999!

Ecco il messaggio ricevuto:

The first thing to do in tuesday is to get in on EQTD. It will SOAR
up next days. There will be at least 100%
appreciation within the first few hours, so do it quick.With oil markets retreating, big traders are turning to
gold, driving it to levels never before seen. EQTD has
made an view of staggering proportions related to a
recent survey on one of their gold properties. The internal
scoop is that we will be looking at a quadrupling of stock price once the public takes notice:

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS-(MARKETWIRE)-Oct 23, 2006 – Equal trading
is pleased to announce notice results which have far
exceeded expectations. The results from our British
Columbia property show 58,000 ounce potential. Plans are
already underway for pressing development. We look
forward to this extraordinary discovery bringing value to
our shareholders.

At 600$ an ounce this discovery is worth 34.8 mil$. With
865mil shares outstanding, this would give us a book value
of 0.04 (current price is under 1 cent).

Don’t miss this one. The value and the opportunity are there.
Nowadays is the lowest price it can be.
It’s high time to buy in! The profitable moment to invest!
Good PR will help you to sell it with higher price later.

All’inizio mi domandavo che cosa ci guadagnava lo spammer a modificare la data del suo pc in modo da far partire i messaggi dal passato.

Ma forse è questa una delle tante tecniche adottate dagli spammer per assicurarsi visibilità: un utente che si ritrova un messaggio grassettato, non letto quindi, andrà a vederlo.

Addirittura un messaggio “pesante” che devi leggere!

Testo del messaggio simile a Serious note e Grand letter.

The great anticipations are drawn up.
The increase is up to 70% last time.
(MXXR) is the profitable deal and those who knows it is making money.
The drilling results of this highly capable oil company exceeded all its expectations.
One time this data hits the road there will be no stopping this one.
today it’s about 0.022 but we are expecting it to triple.
Once the information is made and the PR gets into full brandish.
Don’t waste time and miss out. We advise you to buy today.
The key is getting in early and you have little time. We have been told that Monday is the day it will detonate. Take a position
before that happens.

“Una grande lettera. Hai bisogno di leggere.”

The great prognosis are made.
The increase is up to 70% in the last three days.
(MXXR) is the lucrative deal and those who knows it is making money.
The drilling results of this highly capable oil company exceeded all its expectations.
One time this fact hits the outdoors there will be no stopping this one.
nowadays it’s around 0.022 but we are expecting it to triple.
Once the info is made and the PR gets into full swing.
Don’t lose moment and miss out. We propose you to buy today.
The key is getting in early and time is limited. It was said that Monday is the day it will expode. Take your place
before that happens.

Uno degli ultimi messaggi spam che arrivano nelle nostre caselle di posta elettronica ha per oggetto una frase che, almeno secondo il modo di pensare degli spammer, dovrebbe invogliare l’utente a leggere il messaggio.

L’oggetto cambia ogni volta. Il testo del messaggio può restare lo stesso o variare:

The great anticipations are drawn up.
The increase is up to 70% lately.
(MXXR) is the lucrative deal and those who knows it is making money.
The drilling results of this highly capable oil company exceeded all its expectations.
Once this data hits the road there will be no stopping this one.
today it’s approximately 0.022 but we are expecting it to triple.
Once the press release is made and the PR gets into full swing.
Don’t waste time and miss out. We advise you to buy today.
The key is getting in early and the time is pressing. We are told that Monday is the day it will detonate. Take your place
before that happens.
