Re: New (poor quality) Plusnet Email Scam!

Have you had more than one of these? Is the URL always the same? I'm wondering if there's any worth in us blocking it?

Just had the one so far, so I doubt it's worth blocking it, but I'll keep my eyes peeled Smiley

If we get many more reports then we'll consider posting something like this that went out a month or two ago.

Two more received, both tagged as spam so I guess DSpam is now recognising them.
URLS in these cases were: saltwindow.cn and moresection.com
All "originating" from:
"random user"@xxx-sunmxcoreYY.plus.net
I guess the spam-sender is just using the recipient relay server as the originating domain..

Just received one myself.

Dear customer!
      Last month due to technical problems we were unable to process the payment.
      We have improved the processing system.
      Now you can order and be sure that  your order will be processed.
      Thank you for understanding and hope to see you again at URL
      Best regards,
    Support team

URL points to moresection.com which is a "Canadian Pharmacy" 😉
(NB. Do not visit the link above!)
