Spam continues to hit the record level as usual and new method of spamming are utlized, few months back the image attachment was on high and recent analysis has shown that pdf spam leads to high on the road as content filtering seems flattered in front of it.

In past people used to get spam emails with some written email, spam scan systems got hold of those by scanning the message and filtering out before it reached your inbox. Well spammer then started spams in form of images as attachments and that too has not been under control and next came when spammer now have started sending pdf files as spam.

These pdf files come with subject line looking some kind of report or analysis and from a simple glance looks like a corporate presentation and actually crafted very carefully to divert attention of the reader and hit the nail of some keywords in readers mind. As a result the curious reader googles for thsoe keyword which were injected indirectly in his brain by the pdf presentation and Woola the spammers have done their job as they already have crated hundreds of sites targetting those keywords months back which are not part of the search engine world.

So beware when you get these pdf files , i would say dont read it unless you are expecting one from some one.
