I get masses, masses of spam - 30-40 per day. Most of it is the same old, same old.

What's the oddest you've got?

I was going to ask this when I got one with the subject "Seventy years old and they still love Dick Whittington!". Except that the word Whittington wasn't mentioned, and Richard's name was not capitalised.

Now I just got one "Watch teen cheerleaders peeing through their panties".

<sigh>

I expect this thread to get vaped - sorry mods if too explicit - but jeez, there are some weird people out there...

You read your spam??

David_Dickson

I dont read mine, but looking at the headers, I am currently being offered, several times a day, hot n horney housewives, various variations of Viagra, cheap Rolex watches, and disturbingly, some extra-fat girls want me to do rude things to them.

Have you got a link for the extra-fat girls?

Between my wife & myself, we get about 80 spam attacks per day. However only around 2 per day end up in my Outlook Junk mailbox, the rest are handled by my spam systems. I use Virtual names for my email handling & have an auto redirect of probable spam using their anti-spam systems to a Yahoo mailbox. Yahoo then auto redirect 99% of the spam to the junk mailbox. I get 0% real mail in the Yahoo Junk mailbox & about 1 real mail per month in the Yahoo inbox. Non-probable spam I collect via my Exchange server & it gets scanned by GFI Mail Essentials using Bayesian Analysis & keyword filters, anything it finds, gets filtered to my Outlook Junk mailbox. I get about 1 real mail per week in my Outlook junk mailbox. I use a Cotse.net email account for anything I sign up for. This gives me auto-expiring email addresses & also the facility to track & delete whoever sells my email address.

I can't remember the last time I've had to read a spam!

Thats all well and good; but you wont find out about the extra-fat girls now will you?

I had an NTL World e-mail account, and the spam got beyond a joke so I've left it collecting for the past three months. It'll be interesting to see just how many useless messages grace my inbox when I get round to checking on it.

Edit: I've just remembered I can check the account online. A total of 3,100+ e-mails, here's just a few highlights;

'Would You Like To Extend Your ...'
'Worldwide Canadian Pharmacy'
'Buy cheap Vìagra through us.'
'Felicity why cant you call me...' (Who's Felicity?)
'Our little secret'
'Unfaithful wives 3'
'Buy Drugs Direct from Canada'
'Vãlium Here'
'Cheap V1agra'
'Cheating wives 6'
'Funguy L@@k & feel 20 yrs y0unger'

Just waiting for supanet to download my mail, I have a 2MB connection and it's still going lol (went for a pish whilst waiting too. )
This is going to be interesting...

Not bad for a few years worth unchecked.

I rarely get spam.
I have my own domain name and every time I sign up for a website or give an email to someone, it's a different address. If I ever get a spam I can tell who leaked my address and I can redirect that address to a black hole without affecting anyone else's ability to send me email.

Echo

I get around 300 spams a day.

ajm

Last time I counted I had 7,800 in a 12 hour period to my domain (which I have had since 1997)! Most are prospective random@mydomain.com because they know that privately owned domains usually accept all incoming mail.

Only about 5 a day manage to get through my filtering script though!

Brendan Hughes

Yup, these are what I call same old, same old. It was the weird stuff I was asking about.

Ah well, once again I'm behind the curve on scoobynet - all you IT experts don't even get spam any more...

<Homer> Wow, you can even get the internet on computers these days! </Homer>

beemerboy

think you better forward that one on to me, so i can see how terrible it really is...

i have a email account from totalise.
not touched it since when the last time i had a 1 month gap there were more than 300 spam. (using a 28k modem too)
the best one i get are
"the last time we met"
"i am in love with you"= it goes on and describes herself and asks to click on her link to see pics of her but if you look at the link its one of those webcam sites

King RA

I love the names of the people that send the spam:

Enormous. M. Meteorite
Evangelist. P. Washbasin
Piccolo. R. Cranberry

e.t.c, e.t.c

King RA

Some more:

Manchester R. Malfunctioned
Grad J. Popping
Asgard A. Ruinously
Burial R. Eniwetok

They must think we are really stupid

Brightmail on Demon seems to work pretty well, and without rejecting much myself I only receive a cuople of easily identifiable spams per day.
