Swine Flu fears lead to an increase in online scamming.

"Security engineers and researchers in the field have taken an active interest in tracking and documenting these activities. Engineers at the San Jose, Calif., security firm F-Secure have compiled a list of more than 100 flu-related domain names that have been registered in the past week, many of which may be intended as the base of operations for a scam, though stressing that so far the sites they have examined include "opportunistic sites, not malicious ones." These seek to sell you products, goods, or services of dubious use."
