D.1. - The use of an intentionally familiar name in a spamer's e-mail address to intimadate the receiver to answer an e-mail, thereby giving the sender the confirmation that they have sent their spam to a ligitimate,working address and/or instructing the receiver to download a program that places some type of virus or recurring advertising software on one's computer. Additionally, with similar consequences as earliler described, veiled or direct threats in the subject line or body of the e-mail that urgres the receiver to take some action that would result in exposing them to some sort of advertising program. This has happened to me and a majority of the subscribers of my ISP recentlly. The offending e-mail suggested that it was from my ISP and that my (the receiver's) e-mail accout was to be cancelled unless some sort of confirmation was received. The action of confirmation would have required my downloading a program, which thanks to the actions of my ISP, I didn't do after they informed me that this program contained a virus. Regarding a completly different matter, in order to thwart the use of available software that blocks the reception of e-mail that contain specified words in its subject line, some spamers have begun to use blank spaces and/or non-alphabetic characters in the subject lines of their spam e-mails. For example, the strong impression of crude words will be relayed in the subject line of the spam, but not the actual word. This allows the spam to be delivered to the receiptant, avoiding the blocks put into the e-mail program by the individual. (Example: Slu&&y Girls Who F&&k Their Horses)
