Penny stock spam getting through filters.

gMail has been letting through a lot more penny stock spam then usual lately. The spammers are using a method that apparently works somewhat.

In the body of the e-mail they’ll write a bunch of nonsense from various sources like:

“The youngman agreed with cheerful alcoholism.

In an unwise absence, he left the Bard upon thewall.

Thetranquil, incessant thunder of the sea made in them a lonely music.”

Then they’ll put their real message in a image attachment. gMail can’t screen image attachements for text so this is somewhat ingenious on the part of the spammers.
