Challenge: Spot the spam

Whilst reviewing the current set of spam I took a small sample of subject lines and decided I would set a challenge.

The following are real subject lines of spam messages received in the past few days.

1. “Re: ADVANCED POWER MANAGEMENT”
2. “abstention commit dogfish”
3. “Urgent! Siezup your pholophaos.”
4. “Re: Business”

For each of these, can you tell me what sort of product or service the spammer is trying to sell you?

Drop me a line at sophosblog@sophos.com.

I’ll reveal the answers in week or so.
