<incom> A New and Insidious Scam

[Michael Gurstein]

(From what I can figure out the entire GPOD
http://www.theglobalpartnerships.com/index.html is a quite clever CMS
(Drupal?) and RSS driven scam! Sort of spam meets scam!

(None of the content on the site of which I have any outside knowledge
checks out. That content however, seems to come from various legitimate
RSS feeds which are then ground through one or another of the spam
generators.

Clever and insidious.

(For some reason though the address provided, is a real one but in
Ottawa ON, not Quebec PQ!
