Why?  Partly because they don't look entirely obvious. I don't  
use any special spam filters except for what Outlook (desktop)  
might deem suspicious.   Gmail seems to do things pretty well  
autonomously (I've seen repeated spam/scam there) And my ISP's  
web interface using Roundcube has filters that I built to ignore  
certain annoying and obvious ones like the .buzz TLD.

The domain/link above looks entirely benign, although it was  
hidden with the "graphic" button that the html message produced.

And.. I find it rather interesting how persistent some scammers  
are with old techniques.

One of the emails that utilized a header field to trigger the  
potential launch of a script - really pissed me off.

Perhaps the best strategy would be not to share and disclose  
"discoveries" like these in general, anywhere.  That way, the  
perpetrator wouldn't understand why their cleverly designed  
"DHL" emails for example are never taken as bait.

Maybe I am preaching to the choir about these things in this  
echo of followers - albiet the choir is small.   :/
