[Waverley ARS] Spam etc (was eBay Scams) - dont get caught

[Simon Buxton]

Hi

On similar topic, I have been getting quite a few emails in recent days 
stating in effect that "you have been sent a postcard" with a link 
provided to view it. Do not go to the link as it will install malware 
that tracks keystrokes. Unlikely to be picked up by virus checking as 
the emails themselves are "clean". Supposedly affects only users of 
Microsoft browsers, as other browsers are usually configured by users to 
stop scripts without the user checking.

Another common spam recently is the attached pdf file. I havent opened 
any but they are apparently the next move by stock spruikers after 
giving up on text and jpgs which are now often killed by anti-spam 
systems.  Apparently harmless unless you buy the stock!
