We see a lot of these. Almost all of them are stopped by a combination of Bayes and the SARE Stock Scam rules. (Our Bayes database is rather large, containing some 390,000 e-mails and around 4 million words and word pairs...) Aditionally, I use a feature of our filtering software that holds any e-mails containing images in the trap, unless the sender is whitelisted.
