Thumbs down SPAM EMAIL & TRACKER

WARNING! Spam Email with Tracker!

Pulling at the heartstrings of well meaning individuals everywhere is some callous spam artist lacking both heart and genitals. Using real emails that are old and sent out from the originator's private circle, the culprit is adding tracking to them in hopes of spamming and possibly even, infecting your computer.

However, if you know the originating source, please don't turn your nose up. These adoption emails were legit emails orginally and there are abandoned animals looking for loving homes at your local shelter.

The email:

If interested, contact mary anderson via e-mail below, or call me at 407-620-2316. Need responses ASAP, per note below they only have until Friday. Please forward around.
To: mary@ctimedia.com <mailto:mary@ctimedia.com>
Subject: Free black labs: I'll deliver to anyone who wants to - or knows of anyone who wants to - save a pup!



PLEASE help me find them homes -
otherwise, it's Animal Control - which means they only have 5 days. We've bathed them, sprayed them for fleas and wormed
them....but we can't keep them. They are currently in a kennel in my basement since I don't have a fence. I've lost count
of the number of rescue groups that I've contacted, only to be turned down due to no room. Please check with every dog
person you know to see if they need a puppy.
Thanks,
Christi

It's a tracking email, just like all other spam.

You attach all your friends emails to it, send it, and they now have all those emails.
