Veterans Day Spam on the Rise

11.04.2009 - 3:10 PM

Just like any business owners, spammers have been using holidays to increase their revenue. Last week's theme was Halloween. This week, spammers are capitalizing on the upcoming Veterans Day holiday to sell their products. They're using discounts, free shipping, combo packs, and free samples with purchase, among other marketing strategies, to lure their victims.

Veterans Day is observed annually in honor of military veterans. This American holiday is celebrated on November 11th of each year.
