Talonz Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 I know SPAM and e-mail go hand in hand like Miami Dolphin players and arrest records, but has anyone noticed a giant increase in spam in the last few weeks? I am now getting 30+ junk e-mails a day on my primary Adelphia account...Almost all of them the same - They senders names are silly: Lumbers E. Curviest Ovum D. Anchorites Benny P. Hygienists Brennan V. Flagrantly The contents are always the same : They start with a word or two like : good day! or morning camper! followed by 4 links that lead to very graphic XXX sites or of course meds... Anyone else getting these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EndZoneCrew Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 No.....none of those names ring a bell. However, I did get some from Doctor Martin Von Nostrand, H.E. Pennypacker, Art Vandaley, and Cal Varnsen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RVJ Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 I have time warner...and in the last two weeks my spam has been cut in half. And in the last few days its been even better. Maybe one of my main spammers died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Wheels Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 I have adelphia powerlink, and have been getting more spam this week than I have in the last year. WTH? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarthur31 Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Sorry I can't help you there man. With the filtering my ISP does for my POP mail, I very rarely get any spam to sneak thru. Yahoo and MSN on the other hand have sold their souls to these filthy spammers! :pissed: :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJ Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 I've got Adelphia, but I don't use my email acount with them at all. I just kept my yahoo account. It's about the same as it's been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 My primary account is now with Yahoo, but I still check my adelphia email via their website at http://www.adelphiapowerpage.com. They finally got their act together in terms of spam filtering a few months back. I don't check it that often, but usually it's not more than a couple of spam per day.

jarthur31 Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 LOL, and they blame hackers or disgruntled employees in stealing these names. I wouldn't put underhandedness past them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
