Wait, we're just kidding! Seriously, sorry to get you all riled up. But imagine our surprise when we got this little gem in our inbox this morning.

It's ridiculous, right? Here we are, recording shows and writing articles where we're attempting to predict what the next iteration of the iPhone will be, and then we see this subject line in our inboxes. But, as soon as we hit "Download Images" in Outlook, we recognized that awful photo of the see-through iPhone "5GS" from other rumor sites around the web. Get real, spammers.
For kicks, here's a look at the footer:
It says, "MMS support from AT&T coming in late summer." Looks like someone forgot to change the Spammer template from the heydays of the original iPhone 2G. For shame.
Anyway, if you happen upon this kind of spam email, remember not to click on any of the links! This one in particular linked to a nasty .exe file, and while that's only applicable to Windows users, you never know what could come you way.
Florence hates email spam, but she won't mind if you follow her on Twitter.

Work email! It's because of the Exchange servers here at work. Just easier for me to default to that.
