301 spams that were all legit ???
Most of my spams are for enlargement drugs, fake rolexes, adverts for live studs webcams, Nigerian offers I can’t refuse, all the usual crappola. And you’re getting spams by the hundeds that are legit?
Quasi, just post your Yahoo e-mail address here and ALL YOUR SDMB friends will gladly forward all their spam to you! You’ll break a new spam record every day! You’ll be in the Spamish Hall of World Records!
I can see I was unclear in the OP, so let me explain a bit further: When I’m done reading an e-mail (SDMB thread notifications included), I send them to my trash bin, and there they stay until Yahoo cleans them out. So I sometimes play a little game to see how many I can amass before that happens and this time it was 301: a record.
Spam goes to Spam and what remains is the legit (well, mostly) stuff.
Hence, the “too much time on my hands” comment! :);)
Whew. When I saw the title of this thread, I assumed you were complaining that you’d suddenly found that many emails in your trash. I was thinking you’d been hacked–that is a common sign. For some reason, some hackers are smart enough to delete the emails they’ve sent, but not smart enough to clear the trash afterwards. When my old account that I never used was hacked, that was what I found. Along with all my personal details changed to where I was some hot girl from Georgia–including a fake picture in my Yahoo profile.
