Have you considered sending an email to Mark directly?  Redistributing 
the scam link to thousands of list members who aren't Mark may be confusing.

I've been seeing a lot of spam that fits the recipe you describe, and 
often the ostensible sender is a junk address, with recipients pulled 
from a range of relevant sources which may include the address book of 
any of the recipients.

Of course we can't rule out anything without more info, but given how 
much of this spam I've been seeing I wouldn't be too concerned over the 
unlikely possibility that Mark's laptop has been compromised.
