    As a male I get a lot of spam, cam spam/hot cali 18y/o girl spam/barely legal teen spam/Russian bride spam/Thai bride spam.....herro my Engrish not so good etc

    Do you get the same spam scam problem? Like fictitious hot males wanting to marry you, or handbag spam?

    I get the "hot single females in your area" as well.
    And wedding dress sites.
    Not sure what that means. (I'm a girl)

    It wasn't intended to be a Shakespearian sonnet.

    Start with "as a male" and work your way from there. Its easy enough once you get the hand of it

    Women just get spam about ponies, ribbons and sanitary towels.

    Everyone knows that.

    Roscommon? I think I'll pass. I would question why someone would settle in Roscommon.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,669 ✭✭✭who_me


    I'm a guy, but I've also received spam offering bigger boobs (on me. Not, like, in a box. That would be weird).

    Coming up to Christmas, I'll have a lot of free time on my hands. I'll tell you I've given it some thought..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,205 ✭✭✭✭looksee


    I get some meds spam, and penis enhancement spam (I'm female) but it goes directly to junk mail - I use Microsoft Outlook and it does a very accurate job of filtering. If I label something spam its then permanently spam and goes to junk mail.

    In my 'last week' junk mail I have 31 items of which 5 are pills and penis ads. In the same week all items in my inbox were legitimate mail.

    You're sticking it in all the wrong places.

    Your e-mail address that is.

    Maybe try setting up a new gmail account and pull the e-mails from the old account into it as gmail run a pretty good spam filter. My old hotmail and yahoo accounts started to get bad, did this and was never bothered by spam again. I currently receive a grand total of zero spam e-mails. Most of my accounts are quite old at this stage as well, the gmail bordering on 6-7 years, the hotmail and yahoo accounts are both over 10 years.

    My Yahoo a/c is 16 years old, tbf it does a good job of keeping the Spam out of my main inbox and into the Spam folder!

    Settle? Fair enough but why would you not just leave, like?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,812 ✭✭✭Vojera


    I get very little spam to my gmail address (and all of it goes into the spam folder), but my hotmail address gets tonnes of it (understandably- it's my "junk" address that I use to sign up to things).

    I get stuff about pills, being the biggest my girlfriend has ever had, fake match.com, Christian dating, Jew-date (I'm in a long-term relationship and have never been on a dating site, btw), fake online schools, and, even though I only worked in Portugal for a MONTH four or five years ago, I'm always getting ones offering to "aumentar o meu pênis". I don't seem to get any girl-specific spam.

    In my Gmail Spam folder just today I have::

    Are all females around you terrible? Date hot girls online!
    Feeling bored? Date online with hot ladies!
    Do not keep them waiting for too long! Date online tonight!
    The hottest girls want to know everything about you!
    Your love is just one click away! Date hot babes online!
    Your future wife is waiting for you online!
    Online dating – the best way out for shy guys like you!

    So glad I added my mother's email to the spam list. Leave me alone ma, I'm happy being single!

    I got this beautiful piece of literature in my Gmail Spam last week...

    Private messages from Karmen
    Hi. My name Karmen. I arrived from Brazil and now I live near your house. I see you every day on the street, but I hesitate to approach to you and to start to talk to you. And on it I decided to get acquainted with you on the Internet. I look for the man for the sexual relations. I will be glad if we with you are sexual partners I have Web cam and on it you can see me. I promise you that I will show you all the delights. I hope that you will install the program and we will communicate with you. I ask you don't disregard my message I send you the sexual photos, I hope that they were pleasant to you. Your sexy bitch of Karmen

    (PS. I'm a girl) :)

    I've gotten spam inviting me to submit papers for a fake conference. I'm not really sure what they're trying to achieve?

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test
