I logged onto my cmoputer today and checked my e-mails. 15 scam emails came through! I didnt used to get any but suddenly i seem to get around 10 every day. It really annoys me and makes me think twice about giving my email out to websites. There isnt even any good way of stopping them, apart from deleting them, which takes forever ! Anyone else suffering from the same problem ?

Oh don't worry my inbox is fully cluttered with nothing but spam. But I don't care, it's not like I am going to remove them like some would. Email is free and thus not fool-proof to abuse. It's sad... but it's just the way it is.

Please for your own good learn how to tag properly. This way you're losing replies.

About tagging..someone admonished you for improper tagging and I thought I'd tell you some helpful things. Tagging leads people to your discussions, like if they are looking up scam emails and what to do, etc. Instead of "scam smails fed up" you would do better to type in "email scam, scam, spam, spam solutions, feedback". That way someone looking for any of these subjects will be directed to you post! You get more responses and interactions that way and myLot gets more visitors.

I use a throwaway account if my email is required to join someplace. Once a week I go into the accounts and throw everything out! My friends and family don't have that email so nothing anyone sends me would be of interest. That's how I handle spam and scams. I haven't missed anything important yet!

Hmm.. Dont worry! I am getting about 8-9 spams daily(I hope so). But it goes into my spam folder. So, I didnt get that much annoyed.
