Why wont you respond to my message?
Today I received this spam email. In itself it was a safe one. That is, it was not a person trying to steal directly from my bank account. Just totally unwanted advertising.
However, what I found rather interesting is the fact that the person created an HTML form to show a link. « So what? » will you ask... Well... When you put your mouse over a link, you expect to see the destination in your status bar at the bottom (I'd hope you do such thing, you don't?!) However, a button in a form does not show you any links. You have to read the HTML if you want to know the destination.
Below I show the HTML of the form. At the bottom I have a screenshot so you can see how it looks like when you don't extract the HTML. This one was really made so as to look like a standard link. Only, you could not see where the link would send you...

Hi sweetie, my name is Jennifer and I'm 23 y.o.
I've found a new feature in my profile which allows me to add people with whom I wanna date without any obligations.
I think you understand what I mean... ;)
You're so cute and I think we can perfectly spend some time together...
You can find my profile here:
