New Earth Viewpoint

04/09/2009 7:29 PM

I've received a couple of e-mails from contact@newsmsource.com (click at your own risk) relating to "New Earth Viewpoint". It included a line like:

"Your Earth Code: xxxx (Limited amount left)",

which aroused my suspicion.

The first line was: "The NEW Version of Earth ViewPoint for Google Earth has arrived!", and address at the end was somewhere in the Republic of Panama.

I've googled "newsmsource" & drawn a blank. Anyone know anything about it?

Hi, John,

Your suspicion was right. Just take a look at this:

Thanks for the link.

At least is was only a "pay-now-receive-never" type scam, rather than a more sneaky source of viral or malware invasion.
