BBC News: Spam on rise after brief reprieve

Today I've recieved a Service Credit Union phishing scam (delete any messages from notification@servicecu.org), yet ANOTHER message asking me to help move a large some of money from someone I've never met, and a message from one Elvia Netzi Sánchez Santa Cruz advertising a dodgy website.

I haven't noticed any change in the volume of spam I get recently, but BBC News reports that spam numbers are increasing for the first time since the web hosting firm McColo was shut down a fortnight ago.

Remember, any messages from people you don't know asking you to help them move money or from companies asking you to click a weblink to enter your account details should be deleted.
