Dear all,

Please redact the actual spam / scam messages in discussions about them. This helps to prevent discussants from accidentally clicking on the trap while reading the discussion.

I strongly advice everybody to delete the earlier messages in this thread which contained the full text and link of the spam message.

For those that are interested, the spammer's IP seems to be 189.223.76.180,
which geolocates to Rosarito, Estado de Baja California, Mexico and their ISP is
Telefonos del Noroeste, S.A. de C.V. if anyone wants to complain. They are
simply using Ewan's name in the From: field, but it's worth him running a
malware check just in case.

I've sent a report via SpamCop anyway.
