I've been getting one helluva lot of spam from Nigeria lately.

Has anybody else at here been experiencing this ?

I'm somehow immune?
I think @home going bankrupt helped a lot
I get maybe 2-3 spams a day... I never used to get much
Hint for avoiding spam: use non-real words in your address

It sure looks that way from here.

I'm on the Comcast cable system, and I receive at least two Nigerian emails per day.

I've had a computer for 2½ years and never received any of the notorious Nigerian spam - I'd like t' think they figure I'm not gullible Cool, but it may be that they track mmy spending habits and realize there's not much to be gained by contacting mme Shocked Wink

ugh... I get around 10/day... I can't stand it at all... I don't even bother to check who it's from anymore... heck... I don't even read my email anymore... just delete anything new... I guess that's why everyone's been so mad at me lately...

If you use Outlook, you can set up a rule to move email that contains the word 'Nigeria' to your 'Delete' folder.
