spam has really picked up recently

[SuperJETT]

I use gmail, and the spam filtering is very good. It also deletes them after 30 days, so the number in there at any given time gives an idea how much is coming in.

I noticed it's gone up recently, it's normally around like 500 or so, but right now is 1800 and going up.

I just checked, over 300 just today. If this keeps up, I'll have over 9000 in the spam folder.

I guess I need to start buying some of the stuff?

Here's 300 spam!

Is that why I keep getting pop ups? I thought it had something to do with my computer?

I have been getting spam but its been getting through the filters. I am getting at least 1 through every day. I used to never get any in my inbox. I am still getting about 100 a day in my junk. no change there. My other address is a different story. I think there is like 30,000 in there...

 

[demolition_x]

i have been getting at least 2 a day of the nigerian scam type emails, gmail still shows them, its annoying.

 

[JC15 :aka Josh:]

Have any of you been getting CNN alert messages via email? You get a crap CNN email with "recent news" and it looks official enough. but the web links inside the message (where the news stories are) take you to hijacked website with viruses/malware.


Jett, are you using filters, or just Gmail's filter?


At home I use Hotmail, and I get maybe 1-2 spam messages a month. I've had the email address since 1997.

 

[SuperJETT]

I just let gmail handle it, and it's rare that a spam message doesn't get stuck in the junk folder, maybe one/week? Even when they do, one click on Report Spam gets rid of it plus helps Google (overlords of the internet nowadays it seems) work better.

 

[JC15 :aka Josh:]

good to hear. I've had a gmail account for a while now, but it get's more spam than my hotmail, go figure????

 

[SuperJETT]

I'm at 4700 in my spam folder now, yikes.

 

[djkorn1]

I have had the same hotmail account for 10 years and I only get about 5 or 6 a week.

 

[waxhead]

my domain
www.waxracing.com used to get heaps but i have some fancy spam stuff on there and i hardly get any now

 

[SuperJETT]

So I cleared out my spam folder on 9/3, it's already up to 3978 after only 15 days.

 

[SuperJETT]

Up to 9623 in my spam folder right now. That's over 320/day!

 

[Emm]

wow...I may get like 10 a day ....at the most

 

[SuperJETT]

I've had this address for over 4 years now, and my address gets 'out there' a lot because of domain name registrations (not anymore thanks to how they do it now) and running this site, etc.

Maybe I'm just that popular???

 

[Big Kahuna]

I get about 40 a day that slip through, mostly emails from AIM adresses or AOL
