Internet security firm McAfee have been doing some more research and revealed the top 10 spam email subject lines for July 2006, and surprise, surprise, they’re nearly all about phishing – attempting to steal account information or otherwise extort money.

Here we go:

  1. Message from eBay Member
  2. PayPal Notification
  3. Restore Your Account Access
  4. Chase Online Banking Service
  5. eBay Member [email protected]
  6. eBay Item Not Received Dispute Opened for Item
  7. Question from eBay member
  8. Question from eBay Member
  9. Barclays International informs you
  10. Amazon.com – Account maintenance – Profile Update

It’s a familiar looking list, and tries to exploit using some of the Internet’s biggest services and retailers.

What (printable) email subject lines bug you the most?
