So you know junk email? I used to get a lot asking me about increasing penis size, I'm sure you all have gotten those right? Well now almost ALL my junk mail is about the end of the world! I do have it all stuck in junk then deleted I don't open it, but I'm always afraid a swap email or somethign will accidentally be filtered in so I peek at the titles.
Is this trend happening to anyone else? First it was porn adds then the stuff about viagra and similar products and now it's all about the end of the world.
I'm not getting anything like that, but if it's something I don't recognize, I immediately add it to my block sender list and it seems to really cut down on the garbage i receive.

Maybe it's just Florida that is ending?

I do the same about blocking the sender. I also received all those emails you are talking about and just recently I was getting emails about winning millions of dollars if I would just click on the website listed. I just keep blocking them and my inbox has been better.
If a message about a swap somehow gets caught up in spam mail or blocked sender, I would hope the hostess would post something to me here on the MB.

Mine is all trying to give me credit cards! Also stuff saying I'm a WINNER! Woo-Hoo I won stuff they wanna charge me tons of $$$ for!!
I hate junk email! I always have to scan them though cause sometimes stuff from the Bella's and swaps go in there!

I had it down to almost nothing then this end of the world stuff. But it's only in my junk folder, so I guess it's no big deal.

Please??? I'm in direct marketing -- and hopefully we aren't sending you any printed materials that you don't want -- but I am NOT involved in SPAM or junk e-mail!
Lately most of my spam has been about "getting a bigger weenie". My office has a pretty sophisticated spam screening program -- but those weenie ones keep getting through. Haven't had any of the "end of the world" ones, but I've also gotten quite a few about buying a new car.
Just for the record -- I HATE JUNK E-MAIL AS MUCH AS ANYONE! :rolleyes:

Almost all my junk emails are telling me that I've been approved for loans.
Isn't it good to know that my credit rating is so high :D

It's junk email. I do get some junk printed mail. Can you fix it up so I only get personal letters? I guess the bills too. ;) But I'm talking about email, sorry I didn't make that clear. :)
