Your naked video reveals a bot behind the email

How stupid do you have to be to get caught by spam email with the subject line of 'we caught you naked [your name] - check the video' is a question I have been asking myself today. Not because I have been caught naked, and if I had my only concern would have been for the poor soul subjected to the visual ordeal. Not even because I have received such a spam myself, at least not that I am aware of as my spam trap would have swallowed it whole and spat it out in bits before I knew about it. Nope, more because I really do feel for the kind of village idiot hopeful who would click on the link to that supposed video.
