Spam from Last.fm hack
Categories: Life

As per my previous experience with Play and Amazon, where an email address definitively used exclusively for those services has fallen into the hands of spammers, now it is the turn of Last.fm, the music aggregator/radio service. I’m posting these so anyone searching for the websites within can be warned not to use them. Here is the text of my most recent spam item:

From: Client manager <do_not_reply@telcel.net.ve>
To: <lastfm-specific email address>, <another domain alias, evidently scraped from the web>

You have 24 hours left to TRIPLE your deposits

Hi there

My name is Richard Jones, and I’m the Casino Manager here at Bet2Day.

We have chosen you to be part of our great welcome promotion.

Join me and the team today and you can TRIPLE you first deposits with an astounding 200% Welcome Bonus.

What that means is if you deposit £/$/€50, I’ll give you a free £/$/€100 on top of your £/$/€50 and take your deposits to a total of £/$/€150. How great is that?!

You can use your extra cash to play some of the best games online.

You can play Mega Moolah and possibly win the major multi-million $ jackpot, just like Mr R. did last month.

With the highest quality graphics on our Slots games, you can win using Wilds, Scatters, Free Spins and Trigger Symbols.

Don’t hesitate as I can only keep this offer opened for the next 24 hours, and I don’t want you to miss out on the big bucks.
