Spam Warning Signs

  • Advertising medication.
  • Not personally addressed.
  • Generic unsolicited advertising.
  • Invalid (forged) received date.  Actually received August 2012.
  • The URLs being linked to in the e-mail do not match the domain name URL from which the e-mail was sent.
  • .ru domain names are well known to be used by spammers.
  • The subject of the e-mail is of a spammy nature – the use of the word viagra being a classic example.
  • A free e-mail address (Yahoo) has been used.
  • No reputable pharmacy would be advertising in such a way.
  • No reputable pharmacy would be using a free Yahoo e-mail account.
  • Poor spelling and grammar.
  • Broken English.

Conclusion

Well, well, well.  We’ve got another e-mail advertising medication again.  And surprise surprise, Viagra is the focus again!  The warning signs in this e-mail are just screaming out.  Now, where to start.

It’s not personally adressed neither does it contain any specific information relating to yourself.  It just a generic advertising for ‘Viagra’ – and we put it in quotation marks as the tablets that are sent out are more likely to contain washing powder than what should be in Viagra!

Again, another classic sign – the domains they are linking to within the body of the e-mail don’t match the senders e-mail address.  The senders e-mail address is a free Yahoo e-mail address (again, another warning sign) and the domain being linked to is a .ru name, which is fairly popular with spammers.

Remember, no reputable pharmacy is going to advertise like this and they most certainly won’t be using a free e-mail address.  Anything you order, if indeed you do receive anything, isn’t going to be what you think it is.  And in all probability, they’re probably looking for your personal information to commit identity theft or run up a bill on your card.

Also, even though we’re UK based, the spam itself is obviously targeted at the US market.  The spammers are likely using a crude system where they assume a ‘.com’ is based in the US.

Don’t buy medication online!!
