"How the hell do they manage it?!"

Three days ago, I set up a new Hotmail account. As yet, I have told no-one of its existence, have not used it, and not posted it anywhere.

Already I have two pieces of spam in it - one for a loan, the other for viagra!

How the hell do they manage it?

I seem to get loads.

Sodding things. And my address is 15 letters long...

"How the hell do they manage it?!"

Ask Mysti..... :D

I started getting lots of random spam to my ISP account. Which sucks balls.
Yet I don't get any to my hotmail account, probably because I have the most obscure names ever?

well in my school you get banned off of internet net for porn or even havin exe's in your name but dope wars was worth the risk
classic game

You lucky lucky guy.

i dont know i think it is the company you are with like ntl.that happend to me at school no one had my e-mail exept the people in my class and i ended up whith all these rude pics of women.

And the fact that it's sooooo long!

Mine's like 5 letters!

Grrrrr.

Well somehow, I've never received one piece of spam on my hotmail account that I set up a about a year ago (although I haven't used it for the past month, so I suppose it'll be deactivated now).

The username was tomthorpe2002, so I suppose the numbers helped.

Exactly.

Hotmail don't sell the addresses. They even released a statement about the trouble they're having with spam consisting of 80% of the total emails!

My box is maxed out again. Just 10 days after I emptied it again. It's pathetic.

Give us a tilt and a whirl then.......
