I've suddenly started getting (literally) hundreds of junk emails every day trying to get me to buy every conceivable drug under the sun to "help me get better erections". % of them are so crap I can't believe anyone would pay them any attention, the remaining % are just crap.
Have I been singled out to receive theseor are they a universal email hazard?
set the spam/ junk email on you email settings and this should filter the problems ones.

Are you brand new to the internet? Everyone else has been moaning about this crap for years (though at least, these days, you can direct them straight to 'junk mail' biggrin )

Maybe naive... not a newbie but just set up a account and within a month start getting this rubbish. But, still curious about why anyone would bother sending them in the first place.
No I had this problem a while back, literally thousands per minute, had to change my e-mail address.

It's just another form of advertising, the same as adverts and the leaflets that fall out of your papers and come through your door..companies do it in the hope that some people will take notice and buy the products wink

I know, but at least most of those look slick. Not only do these email ads look shit, the standard of English is also appalling.

That's because many of them originate from places abroad where english is not the first language :D
I used to spend an hour a day dealing with spam mail then I switched to and hardly any get through, if you want a invite pm me and I'll send you one.
I'm scrupulous about who or where I disclose my E Mail addy and hardly get any spam biggrin
Be carefull what forms you fill out online as spammers need to get your E Mail address from somewhere smile

Tricky though as once you buy things online (as we often do) then your address seems to end up everywhere like it or not. sad

Can't be bothered because most of the stuff I do online is to do with signing up to and buying things wink
If I did use email to talk to friends/family could see your point but I don't really.

I am so obvious aren't I :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:
I use loads of differant email account, all ####(differant each time) @ ##### (same each time).net
This is due to the work I do and needing to filter emails into differant Folders as they arrive.
I they all go through my Virus Checked before anywhere else and the junk and spam goes into the bin and deleted. I never even see it,
so no problem with the stuff at all.
Get a good virus Check, with a spam and email filter that does the job avery time.
