Fraud and Scam on the Rise?
No investigation regarding the source channels yet, just an observation.
Am I the only one who noticed a distinct rise of fraud and scam,
typically not triggering Spamhaus ZEN? Getting more and more of them
lately.

at the same time getting tired of reviewing scams

I am seeing a LOT more spam hitting my HELO and unknown user
restrictions. Normally about 5-6% of my mail hits ZEN. Now it's under
1%. As for more SPAM… checks… Yeah, I'm seeing a slight uptick in
stuff getting through Zen and SpamAssassin.

Some. Not a flood, but a few more than normal.

If "healthcare is a Right" means that the government is obligated
to provide the people with hospitals, physicians, treatments and
medications at low or no cost, then the right to free speech means
the government is obligated to provide the people with printing
presses and public address systems, the right to freedom of
religion means the government is obligated to build churches for the
people, and the right to keep and bear arms means the government is
obligated to provide the people with guns, all at low or no cost.

My unscientific observation is that frauds usually come from un-listable
freemails etc, so it shouldn't be a surprise. ;-)
