Anyone else getting hit with spammers today?
 
Been getting hit by spammers hard from last night to right now.

Over 1000 spam emails, most all from drug crap people.

Anyone else getting this?

Sorry Joe...not here either. Maybe they got your email from a porn site. ;)

Well a big part of my problem is that when working (flying) in Russia and China the people I fly or work with ask for a business card. Am guessing that a lot of its coming from this neck of the woods...

Guess its time to start blocking IP addresses. Am at over 1500 spam emails today alone and its usually more like 200 a day.

Just a bunch from Enzyte suddenly.

I started getting them 2 weeks ago. All pharma related.

Use Thunderbird or Outlook for email and the spam filters will catch almost all spam before you see it...

In situations like this (and situations not like this!!!) I set up an alias in my email. Your email/ISP provider can do this for you. Then when the particular business is over I delete the alias and only hand my my real email out to people I want to hear from again.

They must have heard about your tiny....... *cough*



They just want to help you Joe.


:D

Hey, that's weird. I've been getting 4 or 5 of the drug spam in the last couple days too. Before that, pretty much nothing.

I am so tired of the emails wanted to make my dick smaller.

I have the same issue! Maybe we should send some to Sidney, who it seems has a "smaller size problem" of his own?

Sidney,

Not bragging, but when you get "down and dirty" with a lady and she says, after all the clothes come off, "I am not sure that I can handle all of that" then you tell me how it feels. I have known the feeling for a long time.

Now that sounds just like every pilot I have ever known. Always bragging. :)

Well, am not called "tripod" for nothing! :)

If you were a girl, would be glad to show you!

Getting back to the thread, finally knocked it down. Added a new filter to my email server. It was "only" 450 emails overnight, 99% of them spam. Now this morning its been under 25 so its slowly getting back to normal.

Hate spammers...

GH85Carrera 10-13-2010 07:42 AM

Maybe this will make you feel better.
