Ocean11 0 Posted October 4, 2002 Share Posted October 4, 2002 Quote: STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL DEAR SIR, My name is MR IBRAHIM USENI, the eldest son of rtd. GENERAL JEREMAIAH. J. T. USENI who was the EST-while Minister of the Federal Capital territory Abuja in the late General Sani Abachas Regime of 1993-1998. I am contacting you in a benevolent spirit, utmost confidence and trust to enable us provide a solution to a money transfer of $30M that is presently putting my entire family into great disarray. You may be quite surprised at my sudden contact to you, but do not despair, I got your contact from a business site on the internet and following the information I gathered about you, I was convinced that you could be of assistance to me. So, I decided to contact you at once due to the urgency required for us to immediately transfer the said funds out of the country. Oh just give me the money! I'm trustworthy, I'm a big man in business, everybody says so! And I'm trusting too! I'd trust a Nigerian that I'd never met, especially if he tickled my greed first! I get about 3 of these a week. And you know what? I always report them to the FBI at 419.fcd@usss.treas.gov Hi 'Ibrahim', how you doin'? Link to post Share on other sites

bobby12 0 Posted October 4, 2002 Share Posted October 4, 2002 I use this service: http://spamcop.net/anonsignup.shtml When I get a spam, I click 'forward' and send it to their email address. They then report the spammer to their ISP, email account service etc. I think if everyone did this could at least reduce the spam problem. I also include the above URL in my email signature to spread the word. Link to post Share on other sites
miteyak 0 Posted October 4, 2002 Share Posted October 4, 2002 Got two mail accounts, and neither of them consist of real names (one of them, er, as you might surmise, being miteyak). Absolutely no junk mail. Link to post Share on other sites

damian 0 Posted October 4, 2002 Share Posted October 4, 2002 I am careful where I put my email addy. In Japan I use OCN and dont get much problems (but I am about to switch to Asahi-net for other reasons). I DO however have a GOL Japan email account and that is just spam mania. Dont use it anymore. Other than that I get about 50 emails a day at work. They are all from company employees and are 'work' related, but most are crap. They are the most annoying type of junk mail as I cant just delete them, I have to read them and respond! Link to post Share on other sites

snowboard_freak 0 Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 I've actually noticed a decrease in the amount of junkmail in the last week or so. Don't know why, but im not complaining!!! Link to post Share on other sites

enderzero 0 Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 s_f - is your email Hotmail? I think Hotmail has improved their junkmail filters since the release of MSN 8. That isn't saying much. It is unbelievable how much junkmail a hotmail address can get. Link to post Share on other sites
Lama 0 Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 yeah i have noticed a reduction in junk mail in my hotmail inbox also! its a good thing!! Link to post Share on other sites
snowboard_freak 0 Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 ender - yep it's a hotmail account. i reckon the amount of junkmail has easily halved. It's awesome. But you just can't past an Australian Yahoo email account - i'm yet to get a single piece of junkmail. Link to post Share on other sites
enderzero 0 Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 I agree. I think Yahoo mail is now and has always been the best major free email provider around. Link to post Share on other sites
