Poll question: What's The Most Common Type Of Spam You Get?

[terrya]

1. Penis enlargement

So I can "satisfy my woman"

[arwalden]

3. Clearly, They Have NO IDEA Who They Are Writing To...

"satisfy your woman"??? :rofl:

[terrya]

12. That's exactly the pitch to me!

No...they're WILDLY off base about any woman I would be allegedly be satisfying. :-)

[Gemini Cat]

4. LOL!

I get the same as well.

[Clintmax]

2. Porn.

I don't know WHERE it's coming from or why I'm getting like 20 e-mails or more a day (I didn't used to get any at all). I guess Comcast has loosened its grip on spam mail at some point.

[lpbk2713]

5. I get a lot from Assholes wanting to sell me bogus Rolexes.

Lately they have even included an image.

[GCP]

7. Wow, we think alike

and get the same crappy e-mail!!

[GCP]

6. Some assholes trying to sell me Rolex watches

Really. They always title the e-mails something really ludicrous like "He put by volute percentile".
It;s unbelievably annoying - I've reported them as spam numerous times and now screen all my e-mail with junk filters.

[Trigger Hippie]

8. Porn,

Jeez you click on one little link and they never let you forget it. :rofl:

[miss_kitty]

9. I get no spam.

zero. zilch. Nada.

:shrug:

[hyphenate]

10. Lately, it's been Paypal and Ebay

scams, which I am consistently getting at least two or three a day. Much of the stuff you mentioned has tapered off due to the excellent efforts of my ISP spam blockers. I DO get a lot of the 419s, though, but they're not all from Nigeria anymore. And with an ambiguous screen name, I used to get the penis enlargements all the time.

There are a lot of mortgage loaners out there now, too. Now that I'm actually pursuing that avenue, I have to be very careful which ones I contact, though. It's very disturbing. Imagine what it was like before unlimited internet time, when the freaking things would clog our mailboxes and start to run up our online bills.

[Spock_is_Skeptical]

11. Ebay & paypal phishing

seems like every day.

[sakabatou]

13. All of the above...

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

14. I read an editorial once that the spam we get reflects the nation we are,

and if so, we are an obese, impotent, debt ridden bunch o' fools!

[auntAgonist]

15. stocks, loan approvals, pharmaceuticals..

lost friends, mortgages, you name it. Fortunately most of them go directly to my junk mail folder automatically. Still it's very annoying.

[zigster]

16. bounced back emails..

I find my email address used by spammers as a phony return address. As a result, I get:

at least 20 bounced back emails a day for a couple of weeks or so ("user does not exist", "user on vacation", etc).
one email asking me for further details about my "business"
one job resume from a guy in India who wants to work for my "business"
three angry emails from three different people cussing me out for being a spammer
one virus sent to me two or three times in a row by the same one angry person using multiple email addresses.

[Bossy Monkey]

17. Sounds more like you're infected with a mass-mailer trojan

Probably a good time to update your antivirus definitions and run a full scan.

[bliss_eternal]

18. When I was still getting spam--all porn, all the time.

I was beginning to wonder, why the big spam gods thought I was a raving nympho...

:eyes:

[NMMNG]

23. Stop pretending

The spam gods know what you're trying to hide from everyone else

[bliss_eternal]

29. LMAO! I'm SO busted...

:rofl:

[NMMNG]

19. I mostly get financial junk

Investments, get rich quick, etc. I do, oddly, get offers to enlarge my penis, even at my clearly female e-mail addy. :wtf:

[dad]

20. I get so many amazing unsolicited offers

I've been busy this summer refinancing my home loan to pay for penis enlargement.

[NMMNG]

22. Why refinance your home for that?

Just use one of those get-rich-quick schemes and you can enlarge your penis, buy a summer home and pay for the kids' college without all the hassles of refinancing.

[RebelOne]

21. Let's not forget the Nigerian scam letters

I get at least 3 of them each week. And I win at least one lottery per week.

[NaturalHigh]

24. Pharmaceuticals, by far.

If I ordered pills from all the e-mails I get, I would never have to set foot in a pharmacy again.

[Cobalt Violet]

25. I don't know.

It goes into my spam mail box and I don't go there. Some does occasionally get in my inbox and seems to be pretty evenly split between all of the above.

[CatholicEdHead]

26. Phished 3-4 times a week

of different banks I have never heard of asking for account info.

I am sure I get my share of the rest, but that phishing is what makes it through most often.

[Chicken Girl]

27. Other: Computer software

Windows and Photoshop, mostly. Also OEM software.

[TK421]

28. I get swamped with the Christian loans and dating services
