Latest spam trick drives ahead with BMW lure

The latest spam threat uses the allure of winning a new BMW to trick online users into contacting a fake "content claim" department. Once they do so the scammers grab data that allows them to break into banking and other confidential systems. Security experts say the new spam strategy is reminiscent of the Nigerian scam that tries to lure people into believing they've come into a lot of money and all they have to do is providing online banking data. The only way to stop such a risk, say experts, is to make sure users know enough not to fall for such scams.
