Valentines Day Spam Sells Replica Products

 Analysis by: Francis Allen Alindogan

Spammers are creatures of habits as they often repeat tried and tested social engineering tactics to lure unsuspecting users. Just recently we spotted a spam run leveraging the much anticipated Valentines day. The spammed message aggressively markets replica watches, jewelry, and handbags. The sender used different email domains non-related to their product/operations. It even contains a URL, which can possibly lead to malware infection.

Trend Micro Smart Protection Network protects users from this by detecting the spammed message. Users are advised to avail products on legitimate websites only.
