6. I get porn at my work address...

My work address is all over the Web (for actual work reasons), so I get oodles of porn, enhancement creams, Nigerian bank scams, etc. Before my company installed a spam filter, I got more than 100 a day.

Now, it's still about 10 a day, because if the admin sets the filter any stricter than it is right now, it blocks legitimate e-mail (pretty much any message from an address with a similar domain to that of a spammer, so it would block Hotmail, Juno, AOL, etc...)

7. Revenge against the spammers! A true story...

Although some of the methods involved I don't agree with, New Zealand's "King of Spam" appeared on national television tonight to apologise and announce that he has gotten out of the spam business.

Well, when I say apologise I mean that he said he was sorry if his perfectly legal actions offended anyone, but he is definately out of the business of selling penis enlarging supplements and all of his other products using spam.

So what happened to make this spammer hang up his mass mailers? Revenge! It seems that someone posted this guy's personal information, email address, phone number etc, and his victims have decided that turn about is fair play. He was inundated with forwarded spam, emails and phone calls. Although some could be considered threatening and should never have happened, it seems that the majority was justly deserved.

Oh the irony of seeing the "King of Spam" sitting there complaining of hundreds of forwarded spam mails per day! Hell, he seemed perplexed that people would do such a thing, yet when asked doesn't he recognise that he was merely suffering what he had put others through, he sort of accused the senders of being childish, and that he was probably responsible for only one mail per week, and that people could be taken off at any time.

Of course he isn't the only source of spam, but he symbolised to many NZ netizens the entire industry, and boy did he feel their wrath!

Justice is served, and a spammer bites the dust!

8. I used to get them all ofthe time

I guess they finally gave up on me

[Kat45]

9. I got one that was much more blatant than I would have expected

It had a (supposed) link to a video of a young woman doing a horse!!!!

I didn't think they got quite that blatant in the email itself. It could have reached the desktop of a child--or someone like my mother.
