Attorney With Secrets

I received some spam today directed towards those concerned with mortgages. The email, titled “M0rtgage-M0dification-Dept” was made to look like it came from Isabelle Mcgee.

You also notice that the title has the zeros for the O in mortgage so that it passes the spam tests used by most filters.

Hi Jim,

With the right tools, most borrowers can modify their loans, with or without the Obama plan.

From years as an attorney and consumer advocate, fighting against improper lending practices, I have created the most unique and powerful tool to obtain a loan modification or short sale.

Personally, I’d stay far, far away from this. When someone spams the internet to try and sell you an ebook, something isn’t right.
