spam emails

[Deimos]

for about 2 weeks now ive been getting about 10 spam emails a day from a random bunch of companies. before 2 weeks ago i never got any on hotmail even though my spam filter was set to low.

then all of a sudden im getting tons of these messages. one day i got like 15 messages in one afternoon, some of them were even duplicates.

although they are all about different products they all take the same format, a huge ass picture and then BUY THIS BUY THIS or FREE STUFF all over the place. the sender emails are always some dodgy .net adress thats a full sentence like "marketfree@myitemsonline.net or some other crap.

i swear to god all of this came out of the blue and i never signed up for anything anywhere or even used my email anywhere nor have i been to any dodgy pron sites. this happened totally out of the blue.

i keep blocking the senders and reporting the mail as spam but the sender address keeps changing every time. i set all the spam filters to highest so that i only get messages from my contacts but the stupid spam crap is still getting through.

I tried clicking on the links and going to each website specifically but there isnt an option (i couldnt see one) for getting my address removed from their mailing lists.

This is really pissing me off, at first i wasnt too bothered, but after 2 weeks im starting to think that msn cockmail sold my email address to a bunch of companies or something.

anyone got any ideas on how i can stop this torrent of spam?

Just make a new email address, but don't use hotmail. Try Gmail or yahoo.

Yahoo is even worse. Evertime i get them too but the only solutions is to deleting them by yourself....

I used to get about 5 or 6 of these a day. I sent a few of them gay pron and I started getting alot less.:3

[Oisterman]

Believe it or not- this just started happening to ME on gmail. I'm fairly sure they just use a random email generator, so theres really no avoiding it.

Same to me only worse. I use yahoo. Lot of prank and spam emails. Advertising crap and saying I won the lottery. Seriously 7 emails on the first page saying I won the lottery they're all different and I don't try and win the lottery. I haven't gone on my email for a week now it has 2192 emails in its inbox. I'm not even ****ing kidding you. ****ing pissed off right now.
