Job Scam: Israeli Brokerage Services Ltd
The "Israeli Brokerage Services Ltd" money mule job scam is a continuation of others we've seen here previously, and also related to the "Bronsard Advantage" one reported a here recently. I mention it here specifically because the spammers are now trying a new tactic: leaving out the hyperlink to their website. In the most recent instance of this spam, the instructions are, "to take a visit to our web site please enter in address line in your Internet browser." The URL in question is http://ibsl.org. At a guess, their motive is to avoid spam filters, and it worked to some degree. This particular spam was tagged as "suspected spam" by one filter, then forwarded to a Gmail account which correctly classified it as spam.
Note that because the spam text is presented in a GIF image, the recipient really does have to type the address by hand -- a kind of CAPTCHA, really.
