Tracking a major spammer by The cybercrime section of the LAw Management and Enforcement (LAME)
The cybercrime section of the LAw Management and Enforcement (LAME) has been tracking a major spammer and is analyzing some of the spam received from them. You, as a local LAw Management and Enforcement Representative (LAMER), have been assigned to investigate the spam coming from this spammer. Review the sample of 10 emails contained in the appendix of this document. You are to analyze each email, and for each email, report on the following questions (you will either have to conduct a bit of external research, or hypothesize to answer some of these questions): Is this a spam email? What is this email trying to accomplish? What is the likely end result if you were to believe the contents and act on them? Money loss? Personal Information/Identity theft? Describe some flaws in the message that you observed that would indicate to you that this message is not real? If this information is not evident from the screenshots attached, what would you do further to find out if the email is real? Reporting Requirements: Use screenshots or images liberally, and explain what you did using point form. I’m looking to see your thought process, creativity and logic. No need to be formal. Do not do a formal write-up. This is supposed to be an exercise, not a research paper.
