But this, experts say, is the spam that could bring the internet to a virtual standstill this year.

I think spam is getting an epidemic.
Around Christmas I got dozens of e-mails from people only identified with their first name, who suggested loans or investments.
I'm just getting tired of dumping all that garbage, together with all those VI_AgrA pills...

Sending Spam to me is an invasion of my privacy!

I agree with you on that one Abraham.

I agree with you, spamers should be ... something I better not say!!
I mean, how fun can it be? Download some crappy software that auto generates spam and leave it running and hey, I´m king....

I´ve had to set my Spam killer to only accept mails from addresses in my contact list. Then I have to check the blocked mail list to make sure that I don´t miss any mails I want to receive. I hate spam

hehe, suckers!

To date, I have not gotten any spam at all.

Don't mock my dreams!

Seriously though, they are getting smarter. I now have to delete around 100 spam emails a day out of my gmail account. Luckily my other email addresses have not been hit yet.

As Spammy as it gets!

I just got 100 more spam emails after writing my first post up there. It is just bad. I really want to close that email down and call it lost, but I have a lot of important accounts tied to it.

Damn spam.

Mmmm SPAM. It's good with Government Cheese

As for the E-Mail SPAM, it's worse then junk Mail but at least I have a blocker. Personally, I'd rather get rid of both but my Mailman has to deliver junk mail by law. I am so glad for the large trash bin the Apartment Manager placed right next to the mail boxes. Fills up almost every day.

A few months ago my hard disk was damaged by too much chemicals in the Outlook Deleted Items box.
I've learned to bring my Viagra and Cialis Spam each week to the nearby pharmacy in order to protect my (computer's) system from chemical waste...

I love taunting the Spammers... My wife and I get a kick out of thinking up new ways of aggravating them.

Most times we will carry on back and forth with a victim for a week or so making it sound as though we really will do as they want us to do just to plunge the knife in and twist it with an ingenious plot finish... :rotfl:

I love fried Spam with an egg over easy on toast.

I would love to get back at those people in Nigeria who say they've got millions stashed away and need your bank account to put some in.
Any ideas?
