Anti-spam experts at Sophos have discovered a spam campaign attempting to recruit internet users to a "make money fast" scheme by exploiting the popular fictional boy wizard, Harry Potter.
Sophos's global network of spam monitoring stations have sighted thousands of instances of an email claiming to be instructions on how to win a copy of the as-yet-unpublished next book by JK Rowling, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince."
The email claims to offer a copy of the new Harry Potter book.
The emails claim that recipients can get a free copy of the book by clicking on a link, but this in fact takes users to a website offering advice on "free money-making secrets", with no mention of the troubled teenage wizard.
The spam email really links to a website offering 'free money making secrets'.
