The crisis that hit the world at the end of 2008, is starting to show its influence on the kind of spam messages that I receive. Before most spam talked about luxury products: viagra, rolex, fancy cars and superfast computers.
But now that people are getting less pay and more bills, spam messages are no longer targetted at expensive jewellery, but more about how to make money fast (lottery tickets, sleeping bank account) or how to reduce costs.
One in particular is the "Foreclosures". This means that a house is being sold at a very low price because the owners could no longer afford to pay their mortgages.
Yesterday I received a spam message telling me that I could get a beautiful house with 5 bedrooms for only 128 dollars a month...a real bargain, no?
The message invited me to click on the link. I did not ;)
