Friggin' SPAM! - 11/06/03 06:47 AM
Who are these people?
My hotmail account is getting spammed like crazy. I have the junk mail filter set on the highest setting and yet I get about 23 messages per day with subjects like:
-Its too big for me
-Let's work this out
-Why don't we talk anymore
-Hey friend, you accidentally blocked my address!
Without exception, they're all about magazine selling, penis enlargement, and other useless tripe. Curiously, some of the domains come from officedepot.com and others look legitimate. Did they get hacked? Here's some of today's addresses:
a_abbott_iq@criticalpath.net
spencer.baker_bh@officedepot.com
a.ross_qd@sprint.com
robertt.howard_ai@lycos.com
cody.phillipsyg@dnb.com
chase_hughes_rm@weather.com
ggarcia_eb@dnb.com
samanthagrayzn@yahoo.com
kroberts_uw@mediaways.net
nsnester@papulkascbfnh.com
andreathomaspv@dialsprint.net
katelyn.halljx@optonline.net
kaitlyn_evans_wv@google.com
anthonyjonesml@apple.com
trinity.c.wilson_su@officedepot.com
lbennetttj@cisco.com
ajmillerpr@rr.com
voice@gw.deriving.net
tax@greetingwishes.endorsement.net
a.cooperjw@cgocable.net
collinsvf@t-dialin.net
kimberly_wallacefd@yahoo.com
How do I make them stop?!?
EDIT TO ADD: I have two hotmail accounts... I opened this particular one to get my account on XOC. I *NEVER* use it except to respond/reply to people from this board. During my job hunting days and "heavy use," I use my "other" hotmail account which has no trouble with spam. I wonder if there's a path from here somewhere??
