Comments on: Repeat After Me http://www.thepickards.co.uk/index.php/200805/repeat-after-me/ ranting and rambling to anyone willing to listen Sat, 11 Feb 2012 10:01:31 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Graham Cluley, Sophos http://www.thepickards.co.uk/index.php/200805/repeat-after-me/comment-page-1/#comment-30457 Graham Cluley, Sophos Mon, 12 May 2008 14:11:28 +0000 http://www.thepickards.co.uk/?p=587#comment-30457 What's really disturbing is just how many people admit to having purchased goods sold via spam. According to a poll we ran on the Sophos website, 11% of people admit to having bought something because of junk email they received. The mind boggles. I guess that sometimes spammers get lucky - and in a weak moment Joe Public realises that he *does* want "free money" or herbal viagra, and clicks on the link in front of them. Thanks for giving the Sophos spam pledge. If anyone else needs encouragement they may wish to check out the video the guys in SophosLabs produced here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-E6hkOuEiI Cheers What’s really disturbing is just how many people admit to having purchased goods sold via spam.
