| 1179036 | 2011-02-16 22:35:00 | I have various email accounts, used for different things, yet one that I haven't used publicly, like haven't used it to register at forums etc is getting 50+ spam emails in the spam folder a day. Is it just luck of the draw? BTW I use it to store emails I want to keep. |

| 1179039 | 2011-02-16 23:32:00 | Yes I think there are people out there looking for email addresses and then passing them on. So they must be getting paid for them. I don't mind the odd bit of spam its the scam ones I hate. I'm now getting Kiwi Bank ones that say my account has been closed! please click here! I feel really sorry for older people (than me) and newbies, who may get trapped by these scum bags. |
