Spam mail increase

[DanielMark]

Lately I've been getting more and more spam mail. I do not acknowledge it of course and wonder why the sudden increase. Anyone else experiencing this?



This one just made me laugh because a) it came with an actual attached file to download and b) it was sent by a very caring robot.





Then I  also got this fabulous job offer!

I get emails like that also. The are phishing for your personal information to steal your identity. The best thing to do would be to not respond and put these emails in your junk mail folder.

Well the first one expects you to be stupid enough to download a file, which of course would contain something destructive.

I zap all spam mail but it's still annoying to get.

Daniel, I am surprised that you open these. Surely you realize that hidden and embedded in seemingly innocent & tivial junk mail are malicious monsters of the internet,,,,,,,,,,just one visit to Worm World and you'll be crying and there will be gashing of teeth! 

edit: (Oh, I understand now from reading your 2nd post. )

LOL How dumb do I smell anyway?

Glad you caught on.

Hhmmmm,

I never get any spam or junk mail. I have yet to recieve any any kind of junk mail in my primary email addresses. I have a yahoo, and gmail ,and hot mail account created, I give those addresses, when I have a feeling, that I may get spammed.
