Do you use hotmail??

Yep, that's why you can still con people as well. The thing is though is it takes about 15 minutes to teach someone how to spot phishing/virus/malware attempts, even my mother who hates computers and technology learned how with out any major effort on her part.

I would estimate that nearly 80% of emails I recieve both at home and at work get deleted un-opened. Usually the title or author is a dead give away.

Every once in a while I will get a "dident you get my email"? To which I reply.. did you put a subject in the header?

"Free Laptop"

Gee I really do need a new laptop... deleted.

Thanks to my ISP's policy of using my email address in the web address for my personal web space, I average about 130 emails a day, maybe 1-4 of which are not spam. Lately I've been getting a lot of spam in Cyrillic, which I find weird as being that its a Canadian isp odds are damn high i wont understand a word of Cyrillic.

I actually now prefer using my hotmail address for emailing as I get almost no spam on it.

LOL once upon a time I created an email account Eatmyspam@somethig or other .com

The account stood for almost 6 months till the ISP told me it had to be shut down due to "extordinary activity".
