New Kind of E-Mail Spam Arises – Signup Confirmation

Well, after installing CAPTCHA I haven’t had any Spam problems with my Wordpress installation anymore, however, via e-mail, last night I started noticing a slew of a new kind of SPAM e-mail that goes like this:

Greetings,

I received these from also “Cat Lovers”, “Recipes Galore”, “Web Joker”, “Office Antics”, “Fun World” and MORE!

You bastards! Preying on the stupid is a crime! Also, it’d probably help their cause if they only sent one of these out, as 2 is suspicious, 5 is obviously SPAM and 10, well…
