Guest wbottomley Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 One thing I hate is spammers. They continue to drain hard earned money from hard working people.I received an email from one. Here's my reply...Please do me a favor, jump off of a high bridge. Then, on the way down, put a loaded gun to your head and pull the trigger. One way or another, the world will be rid of your scummy ass!Sent from my wireless Android device.----- Reply message -----From: "Spanish Lots" Date: Sun, May 1, 2011 2:13 pmSubject: NotificationTo:Dear Beneficiary,We wish to officially inform you that you have won in the International Lottery CommissionsFind enclosed necessary documents in attachment which you must complete and return to usWithin 48HRS of Notification here is your Agents email for any inquires: info@ulfirm.com, dobell.thomas@ulfirm.comThank youRobert SieniWonder if they got the message?
Guest guest Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 The latest one I got clainmed it was from N.A.T.O. and then told me to contact the "Bank of Nigeria". Damn, I despise these things too, and I get them daily, not one or two, but sometimes I may have as many as 30+ of these damn things in my Junk Filter.Know what I;d love to do, find a damn virus that would destroy their scamming computer system and SEND IT RIGHT BACK TO THEM and totally destroy their computers!I am so sick opf this crap. I think we should contact Prez. Obama and tell him to BOMB THE HELL OUT OF NIGERIA since this seems to be where all this crap comes out of! Although I've gotten a few that say UK, but further down, what does it do, reference some bank in, yep, you guessed it, NIGERIA!But my sll time favorite is when it supposedly looks to be some old lady e-mailing you that she is on her last legs and wants to give you all her money and that she found your name in some database that makes you the ideal candidate (more like SUCKER) for her NON-EXISTANT money you're going to inherit. Give me a freakin' break!BTW: I never REPLY to these idiots (and neither should anyone else!), for when you do, you just VERIFIED your e-mail address or other means they used to contact you is valid and then it just gets worse! I speak from experience on this one. That's why I closed all my yahoo accounts, but they still seem to find you one way or another.

Jim Saul Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 Last year I had to upgrade to a new server with more horsepower to process the spam. In turn more spam started coming in so that my 1.5 sdsl for the server was no longer sufficient. So between the spam filer software, the new server, and increase in bandwidth for the spam to come in, I'm looking at about 1500 per year spread out over 5 years.Mind you, this is MY mail server and has about 10 accounts on it, think what spam is costing businesses with a few thousand mailboxes.
