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)

J - Job
K –
L – Lucky, lottery, loan
M – Mystery (shopper/shopping), (misspelling of words in subject line),
