dear ladies and gents,

yesterday, on Tuesday, I received following application
popup: "messenger service"
content of this popup was: "university diplomas" to
buy.

the complete message is as attachment within this mail.

could it be that this is a new kind of spamming? I know
this message as unsolicited mail coming frequently. by the
way I never saw a spam-popup before.

do you know similar kinds of attacks?
have you an idea how it works?
how can I avoid further spam-popups?

thanks for your answer,

with best regards,

rene mayer-exner
