A "joe job" is a forgery designed to implicate an innocent site (or
person), to get them shut down, etc,  The original was in the name
of "joe@joe dot com" (or similar) by an annoyed client, hence the name.

It's characterised by being so over the top that it can't possibly
be true, usually urging recipients to spam other people (as this one
does), and invariably supplying personal details of the alleged sender.

If your initial reaction is "What?  That can't be true!" then you're
probably right, but all the same it manages to enrage enough people
to make life uncomfortable for the victim.

Just another dirty spammer trick...
