i've been reviewing the junk mail/spam/malware-laden crap that gets into my inbox and in the past few days, i'm noticing a trend: i'm getting "replica" watch spam and loan-like phishing attempts.
i was curious to know if anybody else is seeing the same, but that got me wondering--what kind of spam do soulcasters get, generally?

Jeez, I get all kinds of crap. I don't even know what half of it is because I just empty my spam folder without looking at it. But I get a lot of Viagra/Cialis offers and penis enlarging offers. Quite a few, "dear sir, I am writing you in friendship..." scams. Lately I've gotten dozens of "congratulations! You've won an iPod, Xbox, DVD, shopping spree..." etc. emails. Loan offers, people pretending to be from my bank. I get emails that say stuff like "about your Citibank account" when I have no account with them. Basically, I get it all and I don't open any of it.

I get a big variety but the majority of it is dating services, credit repair and gift cards to places if you will fill out 4 hours of questionaires and buy useless subscriptions. -

i don't read the messages, but somehow they send me spam with subjects that i am interested in. Linux, databases, programming, etc. I have no idea how they figured that out or maybe they didn't but that gets through because i have real emails with similar topics. -

I too receive offers to enlarge my penis and to fix my erectile dysfunction. Little do they know that my erectile dysfunction is due to my lack of penis altogether, not just having a small winky or some other problem. I am also told that I have just won, I am a winner, or I could be a winner. I'm pretty sure that if I open those emails I'm going to be the winner of a great big virus. What I don't get is a check in the real mail or millions deposited into my checking account. Hmmmmm. Other than that I do like a good fried spam sandwich every now and then.J -

I just don't look at it, in fact I've no idea if I've got any, I'll have to go and have a look. -

I'd respond, but my ginormous penis keeps getting in the way. Those products really do work!
Okay, seriously. I get Viagra spam, penis-enlarging spam, "replica" spam, PayPal scam/spam, fake EBay spam, etc, etc. Oh, and hot local busty babes want to hook up with me tonight!

spam messages go directly to my bulk box so... i just clear them up without reading or opening them... so i have no idea what spam i am getting.... -

Spam = ICKY!
I've tried regular, and some spicy one... both nasty.
So, I'd define this question as more "gross" than simple.

Given the number of male enhancement spam mails I get, apparently I should be ashamed of my tiny (nvm nonexistent!) penis.
The one the other day that was simply titled "Increase your G I R T H" made me laugh - isn't fear of doing exactly that why I'm watching my diet right now? :-D

like sweet_cookie01 all my spam emails are directly put to my bulk mail. I wonder why they are doing it?? Advertising?? or just trying to memory full my account =<Well, I got some emails :*** Viagra for sale*** Ask to lend money and reward you percent from their blah blah*** Telling you had won though you didn't join their promo -

My husband just mentioned that he was getting Bible verse spam for a while, but it's slowed down lately.

Ed- I don't hardly get any spam at all, but only six people have my address. If you want to call it spam, I do get offers from companies I've ordered from.
Nothing from loan- fishers, weenie enlargers, or viagra.

Mmmm i get lots with drugs for sale and insurance ones, people who claim they are a long lost relatives lawyer and need me to claim thousands of dollars and of course i get loads asking me if i would like to enlarge my penis which of course i find highly amusing my name is Julie so i am a female .... last time i did biology females where not equipped with a penis and last time i looked i definitely don't have one nor do i desire to have one.
Some of the ones i get are just so disgusting.
missb i got a similar one and i deleted only to find the next day i had 4 the same.]
Who does all this crap and what is the point i personally could be bothered.

evil_twin: jeez, how'd i forget the viagra/cialis crap? damn! and yeah, the bank ones amuse me. i don't think i've seen the "you've won a [thingamabob] ones, though.
u-i: dating and credit repair services? how peculiar--one would think that a dating site would recognize that spamming is counter-productive!
bloc: sounds to me like the box of someone you e-mail might have been infected.
notsosingle: yeah, i always find it entertaining when female friends tell me they get pens enlargement-related spam. :D wait, you actually eat processed lunch meat? you might be the only person i know who's copped to it. :>
imladris: i'd be curious to know. :D
eilan: i'm thinking a "my cock is so big" blog entry is now officially required. :D and i forget that i periodically get spam re: hot women who want to meet me right now! mr. eilan gets bible spam? i mean, my wife's cousin keeps sending extremist wingnut mail but i don't generally classify it as spam... :D actually, this gives me an idea for a blog entry...
sweet cookie: yeah, unfortunately i use outlook for my e-mail needs and my office mail is hosted by a company that doesn't do a good job of spam filtering, sadly. i used to ignore it but now i find it a source of easy entertainment. :>
cateemay: [trout-smack!]
infernal: bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
silent wisp: it's been a little while, i hope you've been well. :> yep, all those look pretty familiar to me, too.
beyond: you've been very fortunate!
skald: that sounds like it makes sense. :>
HH: ah, but did you get any penis enlargement spam? :D
miss b: you know what's weirder? getting spam for replicas of brands i don't even know!
aliendude: you know, i almost wish mine was--almost.
julie: ah, long lost relative lawyers--that's a new one on me!

unassuming said on Jun 28, 2007....
well, it would depend on the mailbox I suppose. Though the irony is that I get more "spam" at my work address that has never really been used for anything else other than to select off work addresses and mostly in work addresses.. Although my gmail suddenly become a magnet and it is strickly to friends and family. My hotmail, we will not discuss as it is the address I give when ordering online, so I expect spam there.
The funny thing about the work mail, is it is suppose to filter/stop a lot of spam, so I think I would be scared to know how much I am missing.
Typically I get the, "You are the relative that needs an enlargement while looking at these pictures since I saw your picture and felt you needed a friend." nutshell.

Last night I saw some penis-enlargement spam on page 10 of SC's Featured Posts. It had 40+ views.
The 40+ people who read that crap thinking they were seriously going to find the secret to giant cock must be circumcised men whose brains were located in their missing foreskin. -
silverwhisper said on Jun 28, 2007....
unassuming: perversely, my work account is where i see the most spam, too. outlook is really pissing me the hell off, although i do have to question your employer's ISP's anti-spam practices, i'll confess--i know our ISP is teh sux.
eilan: holy crap--you've gone past page 2 of the featurd posts?!

Spam? At the risk of compromising this fact, I don't get any. On any of my email addies. -
