Terror Alert Level

Spammers are the scum of the earth

I got this spam email today:

From:      “Barack Obama” <BarackObama@ehb128.com>
To:      “Subscriber” <catmommy9@meowmail.com>
Subject:      Join our campaign
Date:      Wed 10/15/08 06:26 PM

This is no ordinary time, and this is no ordinary election.

After eight years of failed policies that have devastated America’s economy, it’s never been more important to bring change to this country.

That’s why I’m running for president. But I can’t do it alone.

Sign up today to join our campaign for change.

You’ll receive campaign news, invitations to events in your area, opportunities to get involved, and information about how to register and where to vote.

If you’d like to update your email address or other contact information, please click here.

If you wish to stop receiving emails from the Democratic National Committee, you can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the link at the bottom of the messages you receive. Millions of Americans, in all 50 states, agree that Washington hasn’t been working for our families, and that it’s time to put an end to the insider politics that have favored lobbyists, special interests, and giant corporations.

You can join them, and help to bring the change we need. With less than a month until Election Day, time is running out to make a difference.

If you agree that America can’t afford another four years of more of the same, join our campaign today.

Thanks,

Barack

Paid for by the Democratic National Committee. Approved by Obama for America.

We support ethical practices. This email was sent to catmommy9@meowmail.com by ConsumerBase LLC because you have not previously unsubscribed to our email solicitations. By clicking on any link in this email, except the unsubscribe one below, you are reaffirming your interest in receiving future emails. Please know that we respect your right to be taken off our email lists. Removal is automatic through our system. Please click here to start that process.

The links have been stripped, but if you look at the email addy in the header, you can see that it is NOT from the real Obama campaign.  I already subscribe to Barack’s email newsletters, they all come from the BarackObama.com domain.  They do not send unsolicited emails out to people, I never got any emails from them until I signed up to get them.

The SPAM email here doesn’t ask people to donate to the campaign.  But I know damned well that once a victim signs up via that faux website, they WILL be asked for a donation.  Only it will not go to the campaign, it will go into the scammer’s pocket.

I did a little research on the address and domain here…it didn’t take much to see what a scam this is.   I quickly found this blog post, which is proof that this is a scam.

No doubt that I was targeted for this because I openly support Obama, have badges for his campaign on all of my blogs.  But no doubt that this scumbag is also trying to pull this same shit with those who support John McCain.

No matter who you support, if you want to send a donation, and feel hesitant to do it via an email you received, go to the candidate’s official website and donate from there.  I have donated to Obama’s campaign, and the site is fully safe and secure.  I am sure that John McCain’s donation page is the same way.

Please be careful, people!
