Before the inauguration of president-elect Barack Obama, some spammers are sending out fake info that Barack Obama no longer wishes to be President of the United States of America.

Spam emails are being sent out with subject lines such as “It is unbelievable!“, “You must look at this!” etc.

Sample Emails

Subject: Breaking news
Barack Obama refused to be the president of the United States of America

Yours Sincerely,
Cecily Lynn

Subject: What is going on with our country?
Obama has gone

Yours faithfully,
Rodney Lynch
