It's amazing how the days just disappears.
Wrapping up this week, I was quite annoyed when I noticed I am getting stock spammed. I was more upset because it was my GMail account! WTF, I mean the reason why created like 8 e-mail accounts is so that I would only have 1 where it's not used by anything else but friends and family, and resumes.
They got to me after all. I never knew about this type of spamming. Apparantly these spammers are a bit sneakier. They use various address and the product they are pushing on you is not in the e-mail content. Instead it's in the form of a GIF attachment. The content of the e-mail is some poetic type of writing.
It's hard to create filters for these spams cuz it's sent from different addresses. Searched online a bit, there doesn't seem to be any legal action victims can take besides forwarding the e-mails to anti-spam sites for them to list and track. But how much that'll do is unknown.
Whoever sold my e-mail out, you suck!

You can try using one of those spam filters they have already installed. Or if that doesnt work go for the professional way - get a hardware firewall. You can filter out most of the spam before they get into your inbox!
Just have to say it even if you knew.
Really? Hardware firewalls can filter out spam? I didn't know that thanks. Then why the heck haven't google or yahoo been using hardware firewalls!!
