Softpedia Says Scary Spam Scams
According to Softpedia, another IRS malware campaign has been spotted in the wild and even though the message is new, the way it functions remains the same.
Unsuspecting victims receive an email which seems to come from the much feared U.S institution, The Internal Revenue Service (IRS), with the subject, “Federal Tax Report”.
It contains a message that reads something like, “There are arrears reckoned on your account over a period of 2010-2011 year.”
It continues, “You will find all calculations according to your financial debt, enclosed. Sincerely, IRS.”

Hmmm…
Some malware is going around,
In IRS emails it’s found.
It says you owe money,
Now that’s just not funny,
Scams like this really abound.
Don’t answer the spam when it comes,
Or you just might send in large sums.
Delete it in haste,
So your cash you won’t waste,
Keep it out of the hands of those bums.

Burger King Broadens Breakfast
TOKYO, May 1 (UPI) –
The fast food breakfast war in Japan is in full effect and Burger King has decided to enter the fray with a new offering — a SPAM and cheese burger.
BK Japan’s SPAM & Cheese, which comes on a whole-wheat bun with usual burger fixings like pickles, mayo and lettuce, is priced at $3.42 and comes with a coffee or juice.
Other new breakfast items at BK Japan include a BK Hot Dog with ketchup and mustard, a Bolognese Burger with tomato sauce or a BLT Burger.
This is apparently not the first time that BK Japan has chosen to put SPAM on its menu.
The chain also debuted a line of mini SPAM sliders in June 2011 that were marketed towards Japanese women with the slogan, “What women want, what women get.”
The Huffington Post reported that Burger King’s Hawaiian locations started selling a SPAM Platter — which featured two slices of the canned meat with white rice and scrambled eggs — in 2007.

Hmmm…
BK is serving SPAM and cheese,
They’re hoping that it will soon please,
The breakfast hungry Japanese,
Selling it should be a real breeze.
They’re putting it on a wheat bun,
They’re hoping that it won’t be shunned,
When the breakfast day is all done,
In the land of the rising sun.
They tried SPAM on other isles,
They sure got a lot of smiles,
In their new Hawaiian trials,
The data’s in their files.
Now, will a BK one day,
Serve SPAM in the USA?
Will we see it on display?
It could be a daring play.
SPAM’s served with most anything,
Just plain or with lots of bling,
It could be the new dining thing,
That would make BK registers ring.
