American? healthcare spam

[bens_dad]

I get spam.
I get spam offering me a degree without all the tedious business of studying.
I get spam offering medical products - mundane as well as "interesting".
So far I can understand.

I get spam offering me lists of names and addresses of medical professionals.
Odd.

This morning I got a spam email from "Medical Billing Degrees"
with the subject "Jumpstart your career in Medical Billing".

Presumably it leads to a website that hacks your computer in some way,
but some spammer thinks that enough people are interested
in a qualification in sending out doctors bills that this is a hook to
get them to open an email.

uncledirect.com if anyone is interested.

Some of these sort of spam lead to the sort of arrangement where the spammee pays someone a fee to receive materials to start up some home business which the spammer claims will be very lucrative, but in fact the fee to start up is high and the returns low, so in the end it's just a fraud on the spammee.
