I signed in to check my e-mail on my MSN hotmail account yesterday, only to find a whopping 25 messages inside my Junk Mail folder - 22 of which from the exact same address!!

Another thing I noticed was that there was a box above it saying something like 'Warning: Your Inbox is nearly full! Buy extra-storage now!!' in red, un-missable letters. Hmmmmmm....

I just now I signed-on to check it and I now have 15 new ones come-in since yesterday!!


My guess is that Bill Gates' ordered his boys to get spam into every accoutn reachable, so out Inboxes begin to fill and fill to a limit when we will NEED to pay for this cacky extra-storage con...

There's just 2 things stopping him though...
1. You can delete e-mails!
2. Hotmail accounts cost naff-all to create. If one gets full and doesn't work, we can always start another - for free!!


And he's supposed to be a smart nerd or something...!

Never unsubscribe to spam - all that does is confirm that the random address they have sent the mail to exsists - your spam will keep increasing from now on...

You silly gimp!

By clicking their ~unsubscribe~ buttons you are only just adding your name to more mailing lists!

It's a way of verifying that an email address is valid and thus making it more valuable!

Hotmail is subject to automated emails to all the combinations that can be found...

I've got [email protected] and I received 30 messages within the 1st hour of creating my account!

I just use my Yahoo account...

An idea! Olly, tell us this spamming email address and we'll all send emails to it. That'll learn 'em.

I get an amazing amount of spam on my work account, cos my email address is on the website and spiders pick it up.

I get no spam.
Well, once I got an email telling me I had won a trip to Florida, but that was all.

What if Bill is trying to pull a fast one by,if you go over the limit by the legal right of Texas you can be fined $10,000 but most people will not have true facts in where they live but older people will.
