Just curious ....

Didn't we have a thread like this recently? Because I just "unsubscribe" and they all go away. I have only 1 spam I can not get rid of, and it does not have an unsubscribe option. It is for a xxx site and I have no clue why I get it!

I think we did this recently as a bunch of folks said not to 'unsubscribe' as it just puts you on more lists. This has NOT been my experience. I just get that one spam message, almost daily. Other than that, all have stopped!

I started this new thread as now I am getting spam that mentions certain celebrities by name - like Dr. Oz - and a re-occurrence of Russian bride spams.

I don't "unsubscribe" because on most you have to type in your authentic email name, and I figure that just puts me out there even more, and I'll get bombarded with a ton more junk. It's just as easy (for me anyway) to delete the whole file everyday with just one click. And I am seeing less than I used to get - most of what I'm receiving is ads, and not money scams anyway.

i have had my several emails accounts, for going on 10 years now. i average 1 or 2 spam mails a week.. when it starts coming they come in groups of several..i have no spam filters other than the fact that i dont always give it out just because they ask for it...i never post in public news groups.like yahoo or google groups(Here at cat of the dayits ok) and i have a throw away account i can change a little bit which i have done for years.. prior to that i was getting 300-500 spam everyday most of it ugly. so i changed the email and that got rid of it back in 2002.. it just been cautious ever since.. pat

I get a lot for "Your auto insurance is too much!" or "Find your Russian Bride today!" or "Hey I'm so and so, let's go on a hot date because I'm lonely." Hate to inform them, I'm female, straight, and engaged so .

Oh, and Karen, I've gotten the Dr. Oz ones a couple of times too. Yahoo seems to get bombarded with spam, but at least most of it is usually dumped into Spam for me.

This morning I received spam from "Dr Oz Fans" for a raspberry something or other. No way to unsubscribe. Sigh.

Some new ones - The Scooter Store (I'm not ready for one yet ). Replica watches, rent designer handbags (RENT??? ), silk ties.........
Gain 3 inches permanently??? - I don't think they're talking about height.

Uh Oh, I have a consignment waiting for me at Atlanta Hartsfield Airport containing 4.5-5 million dollars that I need to either pick up or pay a gentleman from Africa to retrieve for me!

Whatever should I do, that's one heck of a commute......

(not that I couldn't recreate Smokey and the Bandid when really pressed, but )

I keep getting "look good naked!" spam from one source this week - who are they to think I don't already?

And if I had any medical ailment, why would I trust some spammer to get me the meds I needs? Hello?
