Jerry Simon Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 The last week or so I've been getting an S-load of junk emails...the kind where I can get 5.5 million out of Zimfrickinbobway or somewhere like that with a simple email reply or phone call. Up until the past week, I'd get maybe a couple a month at best. Now, I'm getting a dozen or more a day. Anyone else notice this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 All of us here in Zimfrickinavbobway have been wondering why you haven't gotten back to us....(?).... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dirks Jr Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 I get them too. I only get them on my business email. I think that's because that email is listed all over the web. The sniffers can see it and figure they'll have better luck probing addresses that are more likely to be active. I hardly get any on my private emails.

Scottpat Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 I have a spam/junk mail filter from my domain host (www.hostmonster.com), it cost $12 per year per email address. 98% of the junk mail is stopped at my host and I never see it except in a single report that I get every day. I have a specific email address for my site, and I definitely get 100% more spam to that address than any other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
