Have you guys seen the new spam trick?
 

It's pretty clever really, because it's using a Google.com URL and 99.99999% of spam filters won't catch it, including Gmail's filter, because Google.com is supposed to be a "safe" URL. :)

The URLs come through like this:

http://www.google.to/search?hl=en&q=...kesize&btnI=I=

This causes google to search for a URL that contains girlslikesize and then tells Google that you're feeling lucky and want the first result, which takes you to the girlslikesize site.

Clever. :disgust

That is DAMN clever. Now watch the almighty Google destory them!

Damn, took someone what 8 years to figure that out?

Although I am sure google will now change it so it wont work now.

ha, i'm surprised i've never seen that before.

Pretty simple but clever.

Interesting...

Fuckin' spammers --if they went legit, a high percentage of them could win Nobel prizes.

seen stuff like that before... :)

Same thing worked with Excite for a while. About 1998/99.

Man, you guys are quick!

"new" as in geologic time or ... ?

they still need good headers but i've seen it b4

:1orglaugh

the domain needs to be indexed to work i would imagine.

say goodnight to im feeling lucky... thanks for informing us..

That's preposterous! Why would a domain need to be indexed in google to appear as the #1 result for a search in google?

What if I registered a domain with "girlslikesize" in the domain and got the first result for it? It wouldn't be all that hard.

Yea, or you could just make the search term your domain name.

so you are going to steal their spam? lol

thats some shit

The irony would be awesome. Redirect it to 2girls1cup.com or something similar.

lickity split barbara trick

most spammers use brand new domains that aren't indexed in shit...

My vote is for that cup of soup page.

Watch it, you're pissing on 2/3rds of the industry with that comment... we have alot of spammers here...

Nah, redirect it to the FTC's CAN-SPAM complaint from. :)

That law is worthless, but at least it will get more spams databased and more citations issued...

It is a shame every clever spammer has turned to the dark side.

It's been around for over a year..

you can do the same for complete URLs too:

http://news.google.com/news/url?sa=T...ttp://sex.com+

and it's news !

bwaha since this was posted someone already scammed the spot

:1orglaugh

gmail is the most pathetic email client with worth spam filter ever. Ever lost business because important messages ended up in your gmail spam folder? Many of potential contractors who could have had business form me didn't cause they use gmail and they thought I wasn't interested in their services having not heard from me... :2 cents:
