ABCs of SPAM

ABCs OF SPAM FROM E-MAIL SENDERS AND SUBJECT LINES

Whenever the following words appear in the subject line of an e-mail, the e-mail is quite likely to be spam. The e-mail should be deleted without opening the body of the e-mail, clicking on any links, or replying to the sender unless you are sure that it is legitimate.

A – Attention, award, authority, alert, ASAP, account (verification), accountant, ATM, agent
B – Barrister, beloved, bless, benefactor, business (proposal)
C - Christ, contact, compliments, Craigs List, claim(s), confidential, cheque, compensation
D – Dear, dearest, diplomat
E – eBay, employment
F – Federal Bureau of Investigation, from (name or "the desk of"), financial, fund(s)
G – Good (Good Day, Good News), God, Get (back to me), greetings
H – Hello, help
I – Immediately, inheritance, investment
J - Job
K –
L – Lucky, lottery, loan
M – Mystery (shopper/shopping), (misspelling of words in subject line),
N – Nigerian, notice, notification, (No subject)
O – Opportunity, offer
P – Please, partner(s), payment, proposal
Q –
R – Read, representative, Rolex
S –
T – Trust, transaction
U – Urgent, unclaimed
V – Viagra, very (important)
W – Winner, waiting (for your response)

Can anyone think of any frequent spam subject-line words that begin with K, O, S, X, Y, or Z?
