Some people....

one of my accounts gets roughly 500 spam emails a day...

... i trained my email program (thunderbird) to automatically delete them.

 

[SarahFair]

But that is the thing...
Gmail is pretty good with SPAM
But I guess this one just got under the radar

 

[Nechochwen]

my gmail account gets maybe one or two spam emails a week.... which go straight to my spam folder

Also, I like how it's a UK based thing, yet they're listing the money in USD instead of Euros or pounds

Most of these things actually come from Nigeria. I saw a Dateline on it where the news people replied and set up meetings with them and everything.

I haven't really gotten any spam in my gmail that I have been using for a few years. I get stuff from companies that I have given my e-mail with coupons and sales and such. But nothing like this. Though my spam box usually gets at least 5 or so spam/day.

But I have gotten them in my yahoo inbox.

Gmail usually catches it. Most of the time.

You know, having an odd email helps with not getting spam, as they have to catch it. The stranger it is, the less likely you are to get spam. I recommend using a word or two from a dead language, bonus points if it was never a very popular language to begin with. Mine is from the language of a small indian tribe from what is now the New England area of the US... died out shortly after the colonists came. I know it's never going to be guessed by a random email addy generator

 

[CharlieDog]

Lol! I made my email address up completely out of random letters and put it together. Most people have trouble pronouncing it, let along spelling it!

Not to mention the EXTREME butchering of the Queens English. LOL

Gotta love those Nigerians, trying to sound all smart and stuff.

:rofl1:

 

[Puckstop31]

Prepare to "boo" me.

In a way, I LIKE SPAM. My company is a reseller of the Barracuda line of Anti-Spam firewalls. We make a killing at it and they work really well. LOL

I know, I am a evil capitalist. Sue me, I got a good lawyer. ROFL.

 

[Dizzy]

Not to mention the EXTREME butchering of the Queens English. LOL

I was going to point that out!!!

And it's not the Queens, it's mine.

 

[Puckstop31]

And it's not the Queens, it's mine.

Uhhhh... Does the Queen know about that?

 

[bubbatd]

I was brought up with the King's English ......is there a difference ??

 

[Dizzy]

Well, noone but the queen speaks the Queens english. Or the kings for that matter!!

I certainly don't. I don't sound anything like the queen, and I am sure she wouldn't know what a croggie was if it hit her in the face (which is impossible)... neither does half the uk either actually...

Nope, the Queen might speak the Queens english, but the rest of the population speaks proper english

Everyday, Yahoo is horrible with spam, I love gmail, I get about 20-30 spam emails a day, always in the spam folder.

Here is a quick screenshot of what I get DAILY in my Yahoo.
