unwanted mail

[low_delta]

I wish I knew where I've used my e-mail address. I've had it for almost two years, and just this last month, I've started getting a lot of spam there. I thought I had been careful with it. I use my yahoo e-ddress for signing up for things at websites, and I don't think I get quite as much there.

Someone got into my dad's email address and sent out thousands of porn to strangers. Now, he's getting nasty email from people, telling him to stop and he's answered them all with an explanation!

That sucks-- I think spam has gotten worse over the past few months-- or at least sneakier.

Maybe your ISP is selling addresses to make some money?

I don't think so. Juno was pretty good about that sort of thing. They even said in the rules, that sending spam from one of their acounts is punishable by expulsion. But I've gotten many of them from juno accounts.

some sites farm your email addy from your web browser as you as you look at them......then they either use it, or sell it cheap......

I remain loyal to Yahoo! They've done a great job of preventing spam.
