BS: Spam e-mail

Is it just me, or are others receiving an avalanche of meds/viagra related e-mails lately?
I have been getting about 20 a day on just one e-mail addy, for the last 3 days.

They DO help you from accidently rolling out of bed at night...

Seriously - those things rotate around. We all get them. It's just your turn. I'm sure there are filters of some sort that would help.

"Seriously - those things rotate around."

He needs the pills to stop that, Wesley. Does this help at all, John?

Well, I see you've done your homework.


That spam crap certainly does make the rounds. Ya'd figure that after four or fives years never opening one, the spammers would quit. Stupider than me arse they are.

It doesn't mean you're a bad person.

My friend Janet recently contacted AgeUK for some information, and the chap at the other end had to consult his computer. He kept saying "I'm terribly sorry but I just can't get it up...it's awfully slow today, it just won't come up..." She was soooo tempted to ask if he had any Viagra.
About the spam stuff, I keep mysteriously getting spam inviting me to find a naughty housewife to have an extra-marital affair with! As I'm female (and happily married as well) I wonder why I keep getting these. (About three or four every day!)

Not me. Most of this year has seen a dramatic reduction in Pills and Penis spam. Used to get some most days but now very rare. I'd assumed the perpetrator had folded but I see not.
But as Jack Dee observed in ISOHAC "How long is it since a clerk in a frock coat dipped his quill pen to write one a copper plate invitation to try penis enlargement?"

Interesting.... for the last couple of years, I have gotten almost NO spam. The biggest ISPs in the USA, Comcast & Verizon, seem to have developed filters that catch most of it. For years, I had special programs and checking systems to fight spam, but when one did appear the other day, I was startled.

You folks might ask YOUR providers to check and see how Comcast & Verizon are doing it.

Our Spam filter seems to weed those out, but today I got one from a Polish woman (allegedly) who claims I meet the criteria of her online marriage search- my wife was VERY amused: she's packing for me to go to Poland!

Hey guys (and gals). It's obvious that someone started a rumor that he's a short lawyer, and the spammers are just trying to help.
