That's why Yahoo has a bulk folder.

In all my years of online banking I have only ever had one of those emails. Thank God I read all the bank memos.

Daughter had one saying her online banking will be terminated if she doesnt sign in often enough. Ring me and we will fix it all.

Hell, she is in it every day. We soon worked them out.

I never do on-line banking and I never trust it. I thinking of leavig Amazon because they keep people's credit card details saved in an account. All it takes is for a hacker to hack into an Amazone account, change the home and e-mails address so that they get the conformation e-mail that the item has been dispatched and the home address is there so that Amazon know where to send the item under somebody else's payment. The hacker can soon go back in and change the e-mail address and the home address to what they were in the first place at a later time to try and throw the victim off course. The funny things is, the hackers never get away with it because their IP address for a start helps to capture them for their crime when it's found in the Amazon database; the same for other on-line shopping sites that they invade.

As we know, nobody is safe on-line, neither and those player fools think they are safe.

Yay for not having a bank account

But my parents never get those emails, if they did they'd think they were real and ask me what to do

I've had those e-mails even though I never do on-line banking. I'd love to know how they start. Stupid fools at the other end are so thick it's so funny how dumb they are. They must know any bank name they choose won't match a bank that the victim banks at. I've had international bank names, too and I've never heard of those others. The fools don't just send nation bank names, they send international bank names to make themselves sound all the more stupid. It mostly celebrities that have international bank accounts.

My "African Inheritance/Lotto" scam emails have been changing lately. Instead of tens or hundreds of millions of dollars, they're more along the lines of $200-500,000. I guess they think it's more believable to pick a smaller sum.


What also bothers me are the mortage scam/spam emails (don't know which..never open them). They keep saying stuff like, "regarding your home on _______". There's no friggin' address! They obviously don't know where I live (thankfully!), but don't bother changing their email format to something that doesn't allow a space for an address! Sadly enough, they still probably hook people...

Are these hotmail and similar accounts that are getting hit so much with spam?

I'm a bit in the dark I suppose, haven't used an account like hotmail in ages and Thunderbird has yet to let an email through that I didn't want.

Just curious if some of you are getting this much spam on Outlook, Thunderbird or other large emails clients.


I do recall the first time fake Ebay emails were sent out and they want an updated password. I had been using ebay for about a year then and was selling lots of old Hockey Cards.

I thought I actually needed to change my password, but when the email also wanted my Bank Account # which they never had to begin with, I knew something was amiss. Clicked on ebay, signed in and all was well.
