Two new types of Spam

Well, new to me, anyway:

First was via Slideshare, I got an email saying:

rmondell02 shared a slideshow, 'Q1 2009 Earning Report of Builders Firstsource' on SlideShare with this message:

Hello,

How do you do?

My name is Ryan Mondell, Human Resources Manager of Gabberts Design ,USA

There is an Open Vacancy in the Company. The Directors of Gabberts Design is willing to offer you a good Part- Time paying job in which you could earn a lot.This job would be based on contract and commission terms, it is a part-time job and it would involve quite a handful of trust and honesty. If you would be interested in including a good-paying, part time job to your daily list of activities and earning up to $3000 monthly.

etc etc - I was offered a job as Receptionist, which given these troubled times may well be that the market is trying to tell me something

Next up was "enrolling" me in Yahoo Groups.....

Hello,

I've added you to my pph61j group at Yahoo! Groups, a free, easy-to-use service. Yahoo! Groups makes it easy to send and receive group messages, coordinate events, share photos and files, and more.

....and then Spammed me:

I Got Fired But now make $350/day online!.

I'm happy I lost my Job. Now I make $12,000/mo online! See how I do it: WealthResource.org.

Mom Power: Discover the community of moms doing more for their families, for the world and for each other

Much higher transaction costs than your run of the mill Spam, so I can only assyume that one/some of these apply:

- I'm worth more than the average spam victim
- Spammers have reduced transaction costs on group-busting....
- ...and/or transaction costs on other types of Spam have gone up

These are desperate days.......be interesting to see how Yahoo & Slideshare respond.
