Andy Jarret  posted yesterday about strange spammers using his blog's susbscribe by email functionality.

I am not sure why you would do this then it hit me, what other good way to get "genuine" emails, since as soon as you post you will be sending these scum a genuine email.

I have removed all the subscribers from my database, and also removed the subscribe by email functionality (no one has yet actually subscribed to my blog via email anyway).

I have also got an email from supposedly nat west asking me to come in and login to their system to veryfiy against phishing attacks. Riiight... so why are they using a domain that isnt Natwest's?

I hate this kind of stuff since I was "nearly" taken in, it has the same font etc as natwest and the link showed the proper email for natwest, but as usual (I always do this) I looked at the source code and the domain was www.natwest-banking dot com. A nonexistent domain and definately not the natwest bank.

Nigerian scammers, then this... its getting so that you just cant use email anymore!
