Spam - not so wonderful ...

Email SPAMS are curculating that have a subject like - "earn a good buck from home". This type of email is a cross between a SPAM and a Nigerian 419 email, and a phishing email.

The email reads like this ....

Here is an explanation of what the email is

There is no solution to stopping these emails until the SPAM filters are updated to try and detect these emails - which I imagine might be difficult.

There is no virus attached to the email from what I can see.
