The Amazon Order emails have seemed to now give way to a new “Erotic” email from amazon. This spam is not actually from amazon, but rather the Zbot network as it continues to hammer servers. Ignore the Amazon emails and a forward filter can help ease the headache within your network!

Angelina Jolie invited you to join Facebook…

While it would great if Angelina Jolie was friends with us on facebook, we all must accept that her campaign to get everyone to join the popular social networking site is nothing more than spam. Our inboxes have been flooded with the oscar winning actresses pleas to join as well as requests to reset our twitter password. The Twitter emails simply have Twitter, then a series of numbers, like Twitter 322-65 . These are also fake and don’t warrant a click.
