It seems this spam leads to trafficpro.us which is registered by
somebody in UK (see below) - do you think it's worth reporting or taking
legal action? I guess we could just bombard their phone number

Or perhaps do a little research first?

The registrant claims to be in York.

The phone number is nowhere near York. It apparently belongs to a 
company in Stockport called Railweight

http://www.touchstockport.com/business/list/bid/2964798

The postcode YO51 9AF isn't in York either and isn't on Orchard Terrace.

I did read it and wonder about the phone number being Manchester, even

I guess you're implying that trafficpro.us have fake 'whois'

Which is then fed the above segment to decode.  Don't feel like digging

section.  Maybe someone else will jump in?  :D

Each of the %xy groups is a % followed by a byte described in
hexadecimal.  A little Perl or Python script should be able to
decipher it for you pretty quick.

First, you shove it through that Perl script with the line intact (isn't 
downloading Videos from secure pages fun...):

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;

foreach (STDIN) {
s/\%([0-9a-fA-F]{1,2})/print STDOUT chr(hex($1))/ge;
}

Afterwards, you search the resulting JavaScript fragment for what the dF 
function actually does. It decodes to this:

SCRIPT LANGUAGE=javascriptdocument.write('empty..');/SCRIPT
script language=javascript
function dF(s){
  var s1=unescape(s.substr(0,s.length-1));
  var t= '';
 for(i=0;is1.length;i++)
t += String.fromCharCode(
s1.charCodeAt(i)-s.substr(s.length-1,1) );
  document.write(unescape(t));}
/script{]

Have fun. I found that it's actually pretty simple to just re-implement 
whatever it does in a programming language of your choice and just dump 
everything to stdout.
