poll: how many spam e-mails do u get per day?

[SubZeroX]

I think I get at least 100+ each and everyday. I didn't check my UCLA account for like 2 months and it maxed out the storage limit with 3000+ messages, all spam.

I guess signing up for free stuff from the hotdeals forum has a price after all:disgust:

That's what spam accounts are for!

 

[beatmix01]

i dont know how it happened. i reg'd my own domain, gave the email to no one... and boom one day getting flooded.... no i cant have my first name @ my domain any more damn it.

 

[jonmullen]

[Eli]

[Corporate Thug]

lol, repost

my spam yahoo accnt gets filled in like 1 week time.

 

[MisterPresident]

I use one yahoo email for real stuff, and one for spam. Spam one gets filled every 3 weeks, I get maybe 1 spam a month on the real one.

 

[MeanMeosh]

way the fvck too many =/ 50+ on my family spam acct. 15+ on my spam acct, and 4 or so on my actual acct. i use www.spamhole.com regularly now for internet registrations and such.

 

[PCMarine]

I get a max of 5 a day using Road Runner's email.

 

[SubZeroX]

i didn't know any better and used my school account to sign up for free stuff and when i order stuff online...the result is that account has become almost unusable due to the ungodly amount of spam I receive everyday. And I also was stupid enough to send unsubscribe replies.

Now I know...

 

[Schadenfroh]

solution is to keep changing that email address

 

[hawkeye81x]

This thread brings up a question, is there anyway to have my email account deleted?
(as in Yahoo).

Hehe, that was my thread I started! I was about to mention it if you hadn't.

 

[Miramonti]

20-40 over 8 email accounts.

 

[mugs]

Jeesh... I've had the same e-mail address for almost 10 years now and I only get about 10 a day.

 

[Skyclad1uhm1]

Not counting my Hotmail junk account 1-4, which falls under 'too $^#$!^ many! spammers die!'.

 

[Soybomb]

Probably about 150 a day, spam assassin tags and traps about 140 of those.

 

[Ranger X]

After signing up for all those freebies, I get plenty.

You posted it on a webpage or its visible on some forums somewhere. And/or a website you signed up to with your e-mail address is now sending you spam or they sold/got hacked by/gave to spammers.

Or the last option, you have a very generic address like James@ISP.com, and the spammers are getting lucky via random spam attempts.

man I get none, I unsubscribed to everything I can.

 

[HiTek21]

A lot, over 30 per day.

 

[thirtythree]

None on my new e-mail address. I'd say 10-15 on my old Juno account.

Spam sucks...both the mystery meat and the email!
