1106667 2010-06-04 23:50:00 I have had 2 spams this year...both offering marriageable Russian ladies.
None at all last year.
Nothing in the spam folder on my TC webmail.

1106669 2010-06-05 00:59:00 I'm starting to get 5-7 'pharma' emails weekly on my xnet account (Spam filter. Yeah right!)

Whilst on Gmail, it's about the same per year. And it automatically goes into the junk folder!

1106670 2010-06-05 01:24:00 I've noticed a big increase lately - mainly in my non-Gmail accounts - some of them even from Gmail addresses (can you report these to Google, or are they most likely spoofed?)!.

Someone somewhere must have gotten hold of a swag of servers....

1106671 2010-06-05 01:56:00 some of them even from Gmail addresses (can you report these to Google, or are they most likely spoofed?)! .

Most them would be fake gmail accounts though the odd scammer offering millions in unclaimed funds sometimes have a gmail senders address same as the drop box email address in the message itself . Not often though .

Over the last couple of months I have noticed a big increase in floods of specific spam, this week there seems to be a big flood for fake watches with big discounts, all coming back to one hosting website, recently it was Russian Brides which last about 10 days and then just died . There was before that a big flood of spam for pills, again, all coming back to one website, after a week or so, it drops back to normal levels .

1106673 2010-06-06 11:37:00 Curious - the Google adverts on Press F1 are all for anti-spam this evening. Twelvevolts (5457)
1106674 2010-06-07 00:03:00 I'd count the excessive use of word and association in the same thread title on this forum is spam. icow (15313)
1106675 2010-06-07 04:40:00 So do I - ban the lot of them I say. But in the mean time if the original keeps going then it is an equal opportunity spamming for all. Twelvevolts (5457)
