Title: Stupid spammers!
Post by: paddbear0000 on March 07, 2008, 11:35:17 AM
Has anyone else noticed the large number of people registering for IHD today? In the hour I've been on, 8 new people have registered. Somehow, I don't think they're legit, especially since a lot of the names look like the spam I get in my e-mail!

I'm up to 15 spam e-mails a day! Most seem to think I'm a man who needs to enlarge something, if you get my drift!   :boxing;

Oh no!  Those are spammers? I'm not really getting millions of dollars just for sending them $2000 to process the account?   :rofl; :rofl;

Only 15? I had to switch from hotmail to gmail to get away from the 20+ junk mails per day getting into my inbox, not to mention the 150+ per day in my junk mailbox. Ugghh!!

Now I just use my hotmail for signing up for things when I know it's going to send me junk mail.

Before I changed my email address due to my computer crashing, I was getting emails from "e-Bay" people saying that they "sent the money" and now I needed to "send the product or they would file charges".  I don't even have an e-Bay account.  My guess is they're fishing for greedy, stupid people who will take their bait and respond with "I didn't get your money.  Resend to acct #####".  Thinking they are scamming the e-Bay person, but in reality they just gave them their acct #.  That's the only thing I can think of.

Since my other email (kidney4jenna) was in the newspaper story and on all my posts on livingdonorsonline I get tons of spam created when web bots find emails and send mass mailings. Already today I got several addressed to "Dearest One" and have learned "You have WON the UK Lottery!!!" Can you imagine winning a contest I never entered?? Talk about LUCKY! And the emails where someone died and there's a million or so dollars sitting there unclaimed, poor people, thank goodness I can help them transfer money out of their country, I do what I can to help!
