I heard that on a radio prog about internet security.

Hi Paul,
In the past six months I have noticed a change in spam trends and wonder if anyone else has noticed these changes.
Instead of winning big prizes, they are now just targeting low value prizes. I keep getting spam advising me I have won a $50 voucher from Coles, Woolworths, etc. People are more likely to open something like that, not me thought.
I complete concur with you, never open anything you don't know or weren't expecting, and even then, you still need to be hyper vigilant. So far, I have never been caught by a scam, but that is only because of my paranoia about online security.
Cheers Pete
