chupacabra · 10-24-2002, 12:51 AM

heh, not only did new sign-ups suck royally today, but i have been hit w/ the most unbelievable onslaught of spam over the course of the day, it is unprecedented... here's a brief synopsis..:

"We pay up to $100.00 an hour or more..."
"new extensions now only $14.95"
"Climax Control for Men, Climax Release for Women"
"I am Still Pain Free!"
"Save 50% on McAfee.com Spamkiller"
"Apply Online For Rates below 5%"
"A Cure for Cancer?"
"Register Today for a FREE WizaTrade Workshop!"
"paying to High a Rate? We Help You Get Cash"
"Take 5 minutes to learn and fight hair loss"
"Increase Your Penis Size 3 Inces in 22 days!
"what have u got to lose - except mo hair"
":: Lowest Mortgage Rates Ever ::"
"Get Cash Out Now! Our New Short Form..."
", an online Ink site you can TRUST!"
"get Relief Now.. Reduce Your Debt up to 70%!"
"New Austin Powers DVD + FREE SHIPPING..."
"You can stop going bald before it's too late..."

just a small sampling of the wonders that have roosted in my inbox today, is it my imagination or does the onslaught of spam seem to be increasing?

near all of the examples above were not even addressed to any of my web-site related email addresses, definitely not spidered spam... is it just me? am i being targeted as a balding, cancer-ridden, deadbeat debtor, short-dicked, loan needing, inkless troglodyte? it hurts so if it is just me..

I guess I'm pretty lucky. I have NEVER received spam on both my business and personal email addresses. I do get a shitload of spam though on my ISP email -- about 10 spams a day give or take.

It's been brutal as of late. Since I maintain a separate adult business only email account, I can assure you our fellow webmasters are to blame for a plethora of adult and non-adult spam.

"You can stop going bald before it's too late..."

i think i sent it with exclamation!

anyway, it was an opt-in mail. You have requested us in the past to provide you info for baldness solutions.

This is a great product designed specially for you. Stop going bald. This amazing shampoo will do the trick and soon you'll be look like
