Spams and Phishing Emails!

Spam, or Unsolicited Bulk Commercial Email, is an annoyance to everyone who has an email account. In a new account it starts as a trickle and builds up over the months until it's a flood. Spammers have plenty of ways to obtain your email address like buying lists from other spammers, running programs that scan webpages for email addresses and programs that will try random addresses (thousands at a time).

There's a reason why you keep getting spams....they work! Enough people answer and make purchases from these spams to make it worthwhile to send. Apparently there are enough people out there who want larger body parts, or want to make easy money without any work, or want to buy Rolexes, software or get 2.5% loans with no credit checks to keep hundreds of spammers busy sending millions of emails to every conceivable email address.

One of my email accounts has received about 8000 spams or phishing emails just since December, 2005 or just two months. That's an average of about 135 per day! Glance through the pages of this site to see actual examples of some of the latest spam scams and phishing emails.
