fake ASDA spam

(This might be a UK-only spam.)
Some of our users are getting lots of instances of a new spam allegedly
offering money off for shopping at ASDA. The spam seems to have little
content for Bayes to get its teeth into reliably; the linked URLs seem to
change; the set of machines from which it arrives changes. So although it
gets an SA spam score (DCC, RAZOR2) there is insufficient evidence for a
secure conviction, so it gets through and annoys our users.
Has anyone (probably in the UK) seen this and been able to come up with a
means (SA rules?) of detecting its characteristics, whilst avoiding false
positives?
Thanks.
