I haven't gotten one. I rarely ever get spam anymore, I've gotten maybe 4 emails in the past week from spambots.

In the beginning, the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

Okay, I got it at least 3 times. Maybe we should all report it to the gmail abuse team.

How do you guys get so much spam? I've never gotten *any* of these of phishing scams or anything on my Gmail account, which I use to for almost everything (except TGC ). In fact in the last 5 months the only e-mails that I've received in my 'Spam' folder were from Microsoft and Apple.

Funny that, isn't it? I added MSN to my spam list. My spam folder is HUGE now.

Have you read the thread at all? It's because our public e-mail addresses are... public on these forums.

I'm getting about one a day. What's the point in constantly spamming someone with the same thing?

Strange, haven't gotten a single one. And as far as I know my email is public on this site.

I don't get anything from faith and sonia anymore, I think that they hate me now. *cracks neck* I traced down the IP adress from faith and whoever it is comes from Spain.

Don't be so sure. People who send out spam rarely send it directly.
