Mortgage spam!

Are you looking for the ideal mortgage for your home? Which is the best choice? Where can you find it? What a dilemma!

It’s really easy, you only have to take a look at the Inbox of your email account, concretely in the spam folder. There has been an increase in the number of email messages offering mortgages. In the last quarter of 2007, the 2% of the Spam was of this type but at the beginning of 2008 it has increased up to 10%.

Which are the reasons for this increase? Bad guys are always trying to take advantage of any news to fool people. The current global economic panorama has much to do with this: the crisis in the USA has led to another fall in the interest rate, the continuous increase in the euribor, the historical falls in the European stock markets… all this makes spammers offer more and more bargain mortgages.

The year ;2008 has just started and it seems that this mortgage spam will continue increasing…
