   Hi August,   
      
   On 2021-03-04 07:58:00, you wrote to me:

    AA> Why?  Partly because they don't look entirely obvious. I don't

   My ISP has their own spamfilter, which is managed by fulltime professionals.   
   And I also use gmail, which probably has even more professionals dealing with   
   this. As an amateur you can't do better, so I trust them.   
      
    AA> The domain/link above looks entirely benign, although it was

    AA> And.. I find it rather interesting how persistent some scammers   
    AA> are with old techniques.   
      
   They don't care, as long as they get a couple of responses to the millions of   
   messages the send out (at very little cost), it's worth there while...   
      
    AA> One of the emails that utilized a header field to trigger the   
    AA> potential launch of a script - really pissed me off.   
      
    AA> Perhaps the best strategy would be not to share and disclose   
    AA> "discoveries" like these in general, anywhere.  That way, the   
    AA> perpetrator wouldn't understand why their cleverly designed   
    AA> "DHL" emails for example are never taken as bait.   
      
   See above. And let the professionals deal with it.   
      
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
