How many people here get spam in their emails? Well i know i do, i dont open them unless its somebody or some company i know. SCAMMERS will also try to get to your account that has anything to do with money. I explained it better in the paypal thread in Post Anything board.

What they do is, pretend to be from your bank, paypal staff, or any other billing companies that you have an account with and ask for billing information, dont do that online, just call the company and ask if they needed the information.

do u open ur spam emails?

Any spam mail goes to my 'bulk' folder and i delete it all. And if i do see any in my inbox, i can always tell its spam because its from people i've either never heard of, or someone i don't have an account with, so i mark it as spam and it gets deleted.

i have bulk folders in yahoo, spam, in hotmail, and others in other email providers, for official businesses and forum related things, i use a personal email address, i open most of my bulk emails on there if i know where they are from, if not, i delete them of course, i have a lot of blocked sites on that so spam emails come by lower numbers each day now

Yeah, same, I get around 10-15 on my hotmail account. A day. I just make a quick look at it, see if there's anyone I know or something, I open it, if not, I just delete it all.

I delete almost half of the e-mails I get every day; I have like 20 e-mail accounts for each service, really; time goes much faster that way, IMHO.
