Physical spam to your door is just as bad, and worse, some people still fall for it. I blogged about my investigation into the “Do Not Delay” crowd who seem to be targeting Ireland and the UK. Nasty bunch preying on people’s generosity towards cancer treatment.

[...] I get my share of spam at Red Cardinal. Generally I just delete the crap left by ‘kind’ spammers, but occasionally I do a little digging to see what some of the particularly nasty spammers are at. More about spammers a little later – but first, let me tell you what I think of ‘Long Copy’. [...]

Hi David

Welcome to my blog

Spamming is one thing, but praying on people’s charity to line your own pockets at the expense of those who really need help pisses me off like nothing else. Scum, scum, scum.

I am in Canada and save all my scam mail so I can study it and see if there are patterns. In this one there are many errors and the reference to God making us brothers is a common theme for them. In the past 3 months I have received four copies of the same message. I suggest you give only to a charity that you know well. The scammers will try anything to get into your pockets and bank account.

Good idea. Reporting to spamcop etc is only a temporary solution. They’ll just find a way around it. It’s getting to the source that’s the problem.

I wish there was more that the “Little Guy” could do. This problem is only going to stop if it’s tackled on a global scale by global authorities.

I’m starting to think that the idea of a relative small fee for email delivery would actually be not so bad.

And don’t get me started on the stock spam, that’s really doing my nut in.

Maybe I’m just living in plant-cuckoo-land, but I hope that be bringing this to the attention of those affected they might be able to have the site taken out.

I sent an email to the company doing the payments (US based) but they didn’t respond. If I get no response today from them then I’m going to fire a quick email off to US authorities.

As it was said above this is very annoying.
How low can you get to use such a scheme for making money?

I will gladly swap email addy’s with you Dave

This one really made me angry. They are obviously pushing this – I have received a number of variations of the mail with different images on mutiple email accounts.

It’s almost as busy as the recent WEXE stock spam.

I got one today.I was reading an article yesterday on GigOM I think about how spammers are using colour obfuscated text in the images to bypass the filters. Looks like this was very subtle, but it worked.

Finally, I don’t feel as left out for not getting the same spam as the rest of the Irish

I haven’t got one of them yet myself, but the be honest I don’t donate anything to companies or charities groups I never heard of.
I know is for a good cause, but there are so many heartless people out there that will use this kind of fake excuses for a get-rich-quick scheme which makes me sick.

Nice catch.
I haven’t received any yet and wouldn’t ever spend a cent with something spammed to me.

If it is fake, which it clearly is, it’s a sick way of going about it.
