How many spam emails do you get ? I am just wondering !!. For me, its more than 50 per day for my personal email accounts. ( 4 of them ). For work email, oh my god I have no count of them. Its like a deep water dive… get inside and look for what you really need.
Ever wondered who is behind all these spam emails ? I know your account will get suspended if you send out spam from your email. But, breaking all the strict measures and spam detecting technologies, they are cracking in to your very inboxes… which we hold close to our hearts ( nice poetry indeed ). Hey all those spammers out there.. will you be interested in taking an interview with me ? I have thousands of questions for you.
Are spammers getting creative ? Lately, I saw a bunch of spams with good work done behind them !! all new ideas… recently they filled your mail boxes with failure notices for emails which you never sent !! its not just good old replica watches ads and those crappy stuff.. they are getting creative… may be “spamming is an art” too 
When you get a spam, in your inbox ( not inside your spam box ) be sure to mark it spam before you delete. There are a few databases which are going keep a note of it and block that server or website and making their life more tough ( poor guys )

Other day, my friend got a chat spam, she clicked on the link sent in spam message..and lo, all her saved passwords were spammers..i guess this type of hacking also has a name? what is it called? Need to ask google uncle.
i get a lot of spam on yahoo, but i barely even get one spam on gmail…

good stuff, dinsi. thanks for those links.
yes, spammers are getting creative, but we need to be reactive by marking them as SPAM.
have a separate category for SPAM related articles and cartoons in my blog.
SPAM at RwB
i get about 30 in a week… less as compared to what u get
but still it is spam..
now even worse, as u said, i get some in my very own inbox in yahoo..
another exasperating thing about the spam is their content ….
most of the spams are related to viagra or some lottery
no wonder yahoo service is getting worse every dy..
30 in a week is not less I believe.. I am getting this much coz I am working in this industry ( not spam lol ) … yea those viagra and loan lottery days are gone now they are much creative..
hmm yahoo getting worse ? they are not innovative as google is .. that is the issue I believe… thanks aravind for the comment ………..
