Like most lame spam, this one lacks any formatting or graphics. The tricky part is that it's masquerading as a news story sent to me by a friend, and those typically lack formatting and graphics. Clues that it's fake: I don't know the sender; the sender shows as Wendy Kauffman but the text says it came from Rich Webb; it went to an account that I only use for newsletters and discussion lists; and hovering over the URLs shows that they don't lead to a BBC site.

This is as lame as it gets. Plain text, no graphics, the sender name looks suspicious, the recipient name isn't me, there's no subject, and the text is lame.

In any case, I hope no one would click on something like this.
