Need help wityh reverse mortgages for seniors.

I'm getting a lot of spam that gets through that's trying to sell
reverse mortages to seniors. I put a baker's dozen samples at

http://steveo.syslang.net/sen.txt

The samples are raw, but a text rendered example looks roughly like
one I put below.

Does anyone have anything that catches this type of stuff?

Thanks.

                             Dear Senior Homeowners,


  Did you know that there is a federally insured program that will allow 
you to
  maintain your independence? This program is being wasted because most 
people
don't know that it exists! We would like to send you an information packet 
(on
  us - see below) that informs you about the anxiety relief that this 
exciting
program can give you... If you could use additional monies, without 
putting any
          burden on your family, you owe it to yourself to learn more!






  Tax free cash from your own equity! For decades you've been pumping cash 
into
                your home, why not get some of that back tax free

  Let us ship you this important information (On Us). Remember, information 
is
power and knowledge is what most don't want you have. Get the relief that 
over
  400,000 seniors are experiencing today. This is a federally insured 
program.

This is important knowledge for homeowners over 62. In today's stressed
economy, many seniors are finding that they must go back to work in order 
to
afford increased cost of living, rising prescription costs and higher 
medical
expenses. Some even believe that they must sell their homes. These options
preserve what you have today and can even better it! Would you like the
opportunity to never worry about out-living your money ever again?

Stop worrying and get informed of your options! Over 475,000 Senior 
Americans
have already achieved greater financial security and you could to by 
letting us
provide you with free counseling. See, FHA and HUD have put together an 
amazing
program for seniors that will:

   "If you're 62 years or older, and need additional money to supplement 
your
      retirement income, please look into a HECM program." Suze Orman, CNBC


It's true! You retain full ownership of your home! Once again, if you 
could use
   additional monies, without putting any burden on your family, you owe it 
to
                             yourself to learn more.

Already part of JM_SOUGHT_FRAUD, which ships with the general sought
update channel.

And no, it is no fun reading these to provide a specialized high quality
corpus for fraud... *sigh*

socklaugh.com should be caught by URIBL. Apart from that, bayes is your 
friend.

Maybe Justin nees to set up a SOUGHT_LOANS corpus and ruleset? :)

Sure. These were caught by RCVD_IN_XBL and RCVD_IN_BRBL_LASTEXT (not
standard yet, described recently), some by RCVD_IN_BL_SPAMCOP_NET,
plus socklaugh is caught by URIBL_BLACK, saxaphonepie by
URIBL_OB_SURBL and spiritfork by URIBL_OB_SURBL and URIBL_BLACK.

Of course, they might not have been flagged when you received them.

If you can't block on XBL outright, you might want to raise the
RCVD_IN_XBL score. Or try BRBL if you can't use spamcop.


Please, when you supply a URL to examples (especially concatenated
multiple examples), if you can, please provide them in mbox format.
With the mime headers and delimiters and encoded data intact.

(And thank you very much for not posting them to the list directly.)
