Peacomm spam is not trying to be legal anymore

The Storm worm (Peacomm samples), has started sending quite unusual spam.It does not lead the user to fake videos or NFL “tracker programs”, instead, it advertises a website: http://www.vs-amounts.net. The e-mail looks like this :

Subject: Cold Hard Cash!

Seeking highly motivated individuals interested in a unique opportunity in financial services.

Building an exciting career where you determine your own hours and compensations.

When you open the website you see this announcement message :

OK! I’ll get right to the point. I have large amount of funds on numerous bank accounts which needs to be laundered. I need your help to do that. You’ll get 10% of each transaction coming into your bank account.
I can provide transaction of up to $5000.
You receive transfer into your bank account -> withdraw cash -> take your 10% -> send the rest to me (by western union)
It’s a good and legal way of making money.
Earning: It’s recommended not to transfer more than $5,000 to each account.
Let’s say You have received $5000, to your account.
10% of $5,000 = $500 goes to your pocket.

Beginners for their first transfer will not receive more than $1000. After they’ve received $1000 and send 90% of that money to reviewed supplier, they’ll be granted a status of reviewed receiver and will be trusted with transfers of $5000 at once.

Requirements: You need to have at least one account in one of the banks in Canada, Australia, New Zealand or the United States.

Even though the scam is obvious and there isn’t even an attempt to make the illusion of legitimacy, the site‘s counter showed well over 5000 views Friday.
