Google + has got a lot of attention after its release despite of still being in testing phase. The only way to get into Google + is by receiving an invitation from someone that is already using it. The spammers manage to find a way to utilize this into sending spam messages.
They have created a mail that looks identical to the Google + invites. They could trick the receiver to follow their link thinking that it would get them to sign up for Google +. If you follow the link, you’ll end up on a pharmacy website that will try to sell you all sorts of medications.
So, if you have received an invitation, make sure to double check the sender. It's still unknown whether this sites install any spyware or send spam messages to everyone in your email list.
