Rhapsodies

For the last couple of months I’ve been getting spam with a recurring theme. Generally they would be what looked like badly written court orders with an attachment. Usually they pretend to be eviction orders, something with my annual paranoia about my apartment (which a month ago proved that a broken clock can be right every now and again.) that makes me a very easy mark. One time they had me going just enough that I made the mistake of opening the attachment. Fortunatly thanks to spam filters all it was gibberish. I learned after the fact that the whole point of this spamming campaign was to get you to unleash a virus on your system.

While they have mostly gone away I still get a few now and again each one faker than the last. The two I got today pretended to be court summons to New York. Of course I would have to open the attachment to find out where in New York I’d have to go to and why.
