I have been bombarded with XXX spam lately and it is driving me nuts! I don't understand why out of the blue it is being sent to my email and why so much. Is there any way to put a stop to it? (BTW, I have Hotmail email).

:bounce::wave::bounce:
 
Thank you.. wow..you are not the only one.. Good gosh the stuff I have been getting is GROSS!!! Very explicit.. and that isn't just on my hotmail acct.. the worst stuff is coming thru a small local internet provider. It seems I get it to go away for awhile.. then it comes back with a vengence.
 
I've been getting a bunch to "enhance your boobs". I've never been told that my boobs were too small. LOL
 


oh man when I first saw the "enhance your body parts.. men " I grilled teenage ds... I could not imagine why this stuff was showing up.. poor kid.. not to say that he has not adventured into the realm of scantily clad.. women.. but I found out by opening a new acct.. never accessing any porn that the gross spam just comes no matter what...
 
Really, this amazes me. Maybe my ISP screener is better but, I doubt that! MIL, with the same ISP, has been getting all that smut for some time! I don't have that problem, thankfully. The worst I've gotten is the weight-loss spam but, that's just a reminder (in my mind) that I need to lose weight. :( :rolleyes:

And, a tip I learned from Brisully, DON'T UNSUBSCRIBE! When you do, it just notifies the spammer that you read the email and, they probably have a ton of other 'sites' they can email from!! Just delete it! If you interact in whatever way, they know that you've read and responded so.. don't do it! Just ~

DELETE
DELETE
DELETE!!! :mad:

Sorry you're all getting this garbage. :( :mad:
 
DELETE.. I am so glad I finally learned this tool. Altho it may have been too late..

The weigh-loss stuff freaks me out too.. How do they just know..??

I hate it more when I get a card on my windshield.. oh I am mortified.. then I look around to see the cards are on lots of cars. whew...

mj, you CRACK ME UP!!!! :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :smooth:

And, in cyber space, we both look MAHVELOUS!!! ;) :smooth: :)
 
me too!! yesterday they wanted to send me 8 samples of viagra, i don't need viagra and neither does dh. jeff maybe we should make a trade! LOL!
 
Me too! One of the good things about being laid off was that I no longer got inundated with that garbage. Then, about 2 weeks ago I started getting porn spam - on 2 accounts, my Yahoo & the one I use for applying for jobs from my local ISP. I just delete anything that comes with a "weird" address.

I'm curious as to where they're getting the info. I'd like to know what site I've visited is selling my info. Of course the way some sites have advertisments pop up in new windows, who knows?
 
On AOL I get alot of spam mail but the funniest that I delete is the one the gets you , well you know, male private part bigger.......the last time I looked I am all female. :)
 
LOL Gail...I get those same ones. They say add inches and I'm like to what I don't have anything. The funny thing is my email address starts with unicornprincess...do you really think a guy would have an email address like that?

Unfortunatly, I get much more than just viagra and weight loss emails. I get actual naked people! I HATE it!!! And they'll trick me too. I'll get an email with the subject line saying, "Remember me?" and I'll be like, "I wonder who that is?" and I'll open it up and it's all nakedness.

If you use hotmail, the best thing to do is to set your junk mail filter to EXCLUSIVE. This means only people in your address book will get through to your inbox and everything else goes directly to the junkmail. I still have to go through it every day to make sure something I wanted isn't in the junk mail, but at least they aren't in my inbox anymore. I get about 200 every day. That includes the porn, work at home, drugs, weight loss, etc.
 
I use mailcircuit.com

It's completely spam free, they use a handshake system to verify whether a sender is legit. I love it.
 
We have Earthlink and they have a product they call spaminator. It gets over 90% of them. I just forward the stuff that gets through to them and no more. We changed to StarTrek Link which is Earthlink but with Star Trek stuff added.
