Hotmail

[Papa Lazarou]

Anyone else get loads of s**te through Hotmail accounts? I haven't used it for over a year so my account was de-activated. I re-activated it a couple of weeks back.

Without posting the address to any porn sites or newsgroups so far I have rec'd :-

- Approximately 50 porno spams. None of which have been any good!!
- About 20 spams offering assorted junk (credit cards, human growth hormones etc)
- 1 copy of the "W95/Kuang" virus

Remember now why I stopped using it!!

hotmail is evil.... resist lol.

i have a work account now, but for general stuff i use lycos, they give good space and i havent recieved any spam yet (touch wood)

I gave up on Hotmail after getting to the stage where I was recieving 70+ Spam Mails a day, I had not signed up for anythin sketchy either, I now have 3 yahoo accounts, and total spam to date between the 3, over a year and a half = 3, and they wer'nt porn :eek:

I get between 15 and 20 items of spam a day in my Hotmail account. I still get exactly the same amount if I activate the so-called "junk mail filter" as well :mad:

I'm hotmail and get about 1 item of spam a week. I think it depends on the selections you made when you signed up. I made sure I selected no extra spam-like options.

I don't think you can sign up for the stuff I get through e-mail from Microsoft!!
