Not difficult is it? All have two words in the name with two seemingly random letters after each one, and all have Japanese email addresses. Not shown here is the fact they also all include photos in the email, sometimes not only of the same person, but the same photo. Looking back at the last few, they originate from either Kenya or Brazil. Here's some of the IP addresses from the latest ones:
179.63.48.46
177.72.113.242
200.142.108.56
138.94.236.220
154.159.246.158
102.68.78.199
We're always on the lookout for new trends. This may be one, or it may be we'll see it for a few weeks then it'll disappear. What's important though is that we make a note of it. We'll keep our eyes peeled for any new developments and let you know if we see any. The thread in question can be found at
