Spammers are really getting good. I can resist offers to enlarge my penis or obtain a low-interest home loan; I'm happy not viewing hot photos of area singles, and I know that there is no Mr. Oluwabe Ogunchebwa who needs to transfer money out of Nigeria. No problem. But now the spammers are sending me emails offering me a free large pizza. It's ( Read more... )

I just got environment spam. Environment spam! I have never seen such a thing before. Spam that doesn't want me to get a mortgage or buy penis-enhancing substances or meet hotties online, but that just wants me to take care of the earth. OMG!

From the midpoint check-in post, we see that ( Read more... )

Follow up to this post from the other day: my bulk mail folder is now at 397 messages. It's been less than 48 hours--less than 36 hours! Won't be long now until it hits 500.

I want to watch and see how long it takes for me to receive 500 spam messages. I don't think it'll take very long. Although I have blocked any email arriving with "Rolex" in the subject line, that doesn't account for near ( Read more... )
