I've been getting them too, but after tagging a bunch as spam, the filter's picking up most of them. I think the language is actually Urdu, which is written in Arabic script. The messages appear to be coming from Pakistan.

Subject: [Vision2020] Arabic spam

Is anyone else getting tons of spam that's all in Arabic? Here's an example of a subject line: Ƹ̴Ӂ̴Ʒ صـنـ النمـل ــدوق Ƹ̴Ӂ̴Ʒ اثارالمعاصي

I don't know if you're all setup with the right fonts for this, or if you're seeing gibberish.

I get probably 50 of these a day. It's getting quite annoying, although they are easy to find and delete (don't know Arabic).

Anyone else having this problem? It seems to have started a month or two ago.
