Spam Mail
Has anybody noticed an influx of spam mail recently, over the last few days I've been getting spam from loads of different companies in. selling Watches, life cover, and from credit union score, national accident helpline, pro video gamers, accident advice line and more. Its not as if I've changed my Internet usage, over the last month I've on been on here BW and Youtube, is anybody else got an increase in Spam?

Can't say I have, could it be that you have recently been in more regular contact with your libido?
Therefore you would be giving your email address to a few extra iffy porn sites?

Some body is skimming addresses from Facebook & other such sites, and selling them. Several have come to me as Retlaw Semloh, when my daughter put that name on Face Book, when it should have ben Semloh Retlaw.
