Those blokes in Nigeria should be out cultivating instead of trying to con us out of cash.
Spam is out of control and is spoiling the web.
Why they think I need organ enlargement and viagra mystifies me.
Also they spread false rumours about celebs - possibly libelous
Sorry Cashy - still not amused - waste time daily just dumping and erasing the trash

I am always moaning to myself that I don't get many e-mails, sounds like I should be glad

I get some of those margaret, nowhere near 500 a day though, like most people I also win the lotto/lottery twice a day, am a beneficiary of some description around 50 times a week, I dont even see them now, bulk folder is binned twice a day, never open any though!

I’m quite happy with any amusing e-mails I get. It’s just those that you are supposed to pass on and back to the sender type ones that irritate me

The one I get most is - Would you like to date married women!

No thanks I can get myself into enough trouble, don't need any help.

I get a lot of funny ones from friends and I post some of them on these forums. My spam filter is very good but just one sort gets through - asking if I want to please my girlfriend and offering me viagara.

Just for the record, I'm a heterosexual mother and grandmother.

Got a mail today from the BBC for Live Audience tickets. Some daft sod of a friend had subscribed me to their Newsletter too, done with the best of intentions on her part I know, still a cheek tho.

Think she gunna become a member of The Penis Enlargement Society or summat…see how she likes it

I have a few e- mail addys, one I try to keep for the serious things and friends, the other I use when I surf anywhere slightly dodgy, that one seems to attract all the banking fraud like ones.
Did you just delete it Roy or did you go to TSB and report it to them…online I mean.
