Hm, no german spam for me=( Actually it is funny because I use [yahoo.de](http://yahoo.de)’s ecard webpage to send ecards to a german friend of mine, and I use [amazon.de](http://amazon.de) to get special texts, and go to a couple of german websites fairly frequently…so I do get german email, just no spam… ---

On an email list / discussion group I’m on, there is much talk of a spate of German Spam lately. ---

Another 250 or so were in the website mailbox this morning. This reminds me of another spam overload a couple of years ago, when I deleted over 15,000 pieces in about a week. BTW, the mailbox I’m talking isn’t my personal work e-mail, which has remained relatively spam free (as has my home address); this is a public e-mail address posted on our website, where people can send us questions… as well as all kinds of stupid junk. ---

> [@delphica](#): > > It’s all in my work email box, which I don’t use on the SDMB. My work inbox, which is the sales contact box for our internet site, was German-Spameriffic yesterday, and there were also a couple on my Yahoo account, which I’m in the process of phasing out. Nothing in the Gmail box, though. I guess it _is_ worth it. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/anyone-else-getting-a-lot-of-german-spam-lately/304042.md?page=2)
