I get no spam whatsoever. That could be because I change my email address like once a year and don't sign up for any odd things on the internet :roll:

I also don't sign up with my main email address for anything that could possibly get me on spamming lists- if I want to sign up for something that sounds sketchy, I'll use an alternate email- one I never check. :P

As a result, I rarely ever get spam. :D

ETA: well, guess what happened right after I posted this? My mail program made the 'new mail' dinging sound and IT WAS SPAM. D:

Subject: at petre

And because the email itself was so freaking bizarre, I'll copy+paste (with a minor edit due to possibly not-very-PPT-appropriate things).

I still have my first Email account, and I get almost no spam :(
I'm almost tempted to sign myself up to loads of crap just to feel loved.

"his servant Elijah and the moon, endure that he told him. Thy"

I'm amazed by how many of these are actually appropriate (no really, most of the first page is for a change.) >_>

I've had accounts that I've never signed up for anything with and still gotten spam.

My spam emails include subjects like:

he said my ""Butt"" was hot so I put these up
i like to perform on my webcam
women new to your area

In the email, it tells me to stop posting profiles on lame dating sites. >_>; BUT I NEVER DID, I SWEAR! T____T

Anyways, if you feel anything is inappropriate in this post, please notify and I'll edit it out.

They do that so it has less chance of getting filtered (esp. if the recipiant regularly gets HP newsletters like I do).

I've stopped getting the stuff with the weird titles. Nowadays, my spam is mostly professional-looking stuff from "Windows IT Pro", "SQL Server Magazine", "webmaster@pmo.gov", and "Exchange and Outlook Update". Boring. :P

Here's some stuff from waaay back in my spam folder:

A speak by philanthropy
I go an spiel me
you need to hemorrhoid glass
An fly is station moot
That make is slingshot
Or leave as backwater naturalness
A start or oilman being
Go believe go ascendent
hinduism cargo
To dance an catchy inset
pertinent sib
Or sleep an phonetic
insofar concertina

There's also a lot that just address me by a name or username that does not belong to me. Some have "Re:" in them, which, if it weren't spam, would mean that they were replying to an email I sent them, which is also not the case.

On my last computer, the one that broke years ago (but I have everything that was on it, because my dad took out the disk drive or something and put it in this one...oh, go ask someone who knows computers), I used to get TONS of email from classmates.com, which insisted that my name was Jeffrey.

This topic always reminds me of this comic I saw once. I'm not sure if it's appropriate for PPT (I think it is, but I have some doubt, so I'll be safe), but it involved Yoda getting spam emails...and, well, I'm not sure how much I should say about it...

Frankly, if the Sheppard is contacting me through a blocked Email, I've got bigger problesm than ignoring him.

On my yahoo account, I didn't sign up for anything other than neopets but I got loads of spam anyway.
THe first one is....
"Photoshop, Windows, Office"
Sometimes I get really not good things in my Inbox
I really don't sign up for these things (T_T)
I'm just glad they didn't come when I was still in Elementary School.

On Gmail, mostly things I signed up for and never got around to throwing them away/unsubscribing come.
