Looks like one of the bigger Spam outfits are back in business this July 2009. The increase in phishing scam's is up a few thousand percent this month.

Lots of these titles in my Gmail Spam folder " You have received an eCard " this one isn't the virus one this month, or at least the email does not contain the actual exe file like it did last month, this month it's a link to a website which may or may not contain the Virus to hook your computer into sending more spam. I assume once they hook a bunch they have to get down to business and actually use the bot net of infected computers. I never mentioned the domain in these ones but today it changed to a Google Groups link, Google groups gets lots of abuse!

And this is the latest attempt to trick people into opening the e-mail " Delivery Status Notification (Failure) ", this one is an older one with a new title, same players just a different title for the phishing spam. The Delivery Status one also comes under the title Re-order or Your Order and bogus number in the title.
