[Spam] Spam relayed by MySpace

I've recently been getting a rash of e-mail sent from MySpace accounts (I don't have a MySpace account myself). It's all of the form "[[Spammer's advertising message]] has sent you a photo from MySpace.com!"

The message offers two opt-out methods: one is a link, but the part that is supposed to be a unique ID is just 0:
»www.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseac···&iid={0}

Second, it also suggests sending an e-mail to privacy@myspace.com with the subject "BLOCK", but this doesn't seem to work either.


The headers seem to indicate they're really from MySpace.

Thank got I did not hook my data back up to it. It was so bad that I ended up having to dban my main drive In short dont click on strange myspace links to peoples pages there are some that do contain nasty stuff.
