When did spammers start this

[Happy2]

Just received a email from a friend Or so I thought

Upon opening it was a get rich scheme. When did And where do they get the names of people you know ?

Maybe they should get a job I government or business as they are very innovative

If I were you, I would disconnect my computer from the Internet, do a full scan and change my password (email) afterwards. Just to be sure...

Perhaps your friend's device has been infected by a virus which is sending out the spam to all his/her contacts. If so, this is not really a new thing. You should let your friend know and advise him/her to scan for any malware.

 

[Happy2]

I have done all the above
Cheers

Spammers/scammers get a lot of the addresses from quite innocent sources. When I was involved in anti-scam activities and wanted to attract scammers, I just posted something on a couple of sites with my email address showing and I'd get bites quite quickly.
Another source is created by those helpful friends who send out the latest internet 'funny' with all the addresses in the 'To:' field rather than the BCC field. You'd be suprised where some of them get to and they give the scammers/spammers a free source of live email addresses. They share the addresses around much like scammers share the various credit cards numbers they've picked up.

Sad thing is that there are still plenty of people that respond to and get dragged into these ridiculous scams. Unless you've got involved in dealing with it you'd never believe it.
