With Christmas just right around the corner, spammers are already flooding users’ inboxes with unwanted emails. No surprises there. Spammers are known to exploit the holidays for its malicious activities.
Just recently, Trend Micro threat analysts found another spammed messages that claimed to be a ‘replication specialist’ and entice users to buy replica products like watches, handbags, and jewelries in a discounted price.
It bears any of the following subjects:
- Better Early than Late
- New Models are here
- Quantities are low
- Reminder
- Some supplies are low

Morever, it encourages users to place their orders before November 1st because of a limited supply. Clicking the URL in the email message leads users to a fraudulent site that sells expensive imitation products. Accordingly, it uses various URLs in the email but points to the same landing page. As early as September, Trend Micro has already alerted users of holiday-themed spam.
As usual, users are advised not to avail any products from spammers. Trend Micro protects users from this attack through its Smart Protection Network. Non-Trend Micro products users can use free tools like eMail ID to stay secure.
