From: "P. J. Alling"
I've just received a semi clever scam letter. Not that the content is all that clever but the method of delivering the content was clever. The offer itself is similar to the Nigerian scam with the twist that you're stealing from dead South Africans. Now I want to report this to some proper authority, but all the ones I know of are asking for the text of the e-mail, copied and pasted into a web form; which is where the clever part come in. There is no text. The offer is a Jpeg attachment that looks like text. You can't copy and paste that. Short of running the image file through OCR software I'm at a loss. Anyone have any ideas?
SPAM with no text, only a JPEG attachment? It's not really that clever. Most SPAM filters don't display attached JPEGS unless you tell them to. Most people don't.
Mark One Eyeball - read the text and simultaneously type it into a text editor. Cut & paste from the text editor. Send the attachment along if they will accept it.
