Seriously When I got a message that I tried to upload my face-skin to Tony Hawk Underground and that the upload has failed, I just ignored it as spam. now I'm receiving messages like this. All things like that I'm subscribed to some gay doctor's newsletter and more stuff like that. All stuff directly pointed to me, not even spam. Whoever it is, STOP IT. You've had your fun. I haven't. So stop it. It really isn't funny. got it? _______________ Visit the Belouve Family Website! Quote: I try to have fun with my friends and try to make a difference as best I can.

I didn't know that Hotmail has a virus scanner! Could someone tell me where this is? Or how to get to it... or whatever Yeah, a friend of mine needed me to check her email for her, and in the junk mail there was all this crap about vibrators and all, so I guess you get random spam from which gender you put in when you craete the account. I might be wrong though |

Hey guys, I use outlook (and hotmail, but that's just my "all spam go here" address)...go grab mailwasher (mailwasher.com i think/hope) if you use a similar stand alone program...it's really useful, tells you what might be spam and you have the option to block the sender. Give it a week and you're fine for 6 months. Secondly, if you're too lazy and don't mind spam in your box...DON'T open it. I get e-mails everyday from Amanda 'About last night' (and I KNOW what I did last night ). Anyone else here can tell you with more knowledge, but don't open these...You'll be spending the night cleaning things up  |

Okay, Message of common good I received a mail of something really official looking, telling me about a patch for Internet Explorer which is mandatory. Unlucky for them, Hotmail happens to have a virusscan...

normally DO NOT unsubscribe from the stuff you KNOW is spam, pills, porn, mortgages, etc.. that will just get you more and more spam, it's kind of their way of fishing for real people once they get you to unsubscribe they know there's a real person behind that random address that they happend to hit that was yours. it's safe to unsubscribe from stuff that you know is a real subscription thingy though. _______________ this is the internet, be serious damn it! |

It really sucks when your girlfriend doesn't know anything about computers. You say "I'm just going to check my E-Mail". You log in and get a funny looking subject on one of the Mails, you click it, and BAM, you're screen is filled with "HOT, WET TEENS WAITING FOR YOU NOW!!!" The girlfriend is like "OMFG!! WTF?!!?!?!?!". I remember when that happened with my ex, I spent three and a half hours afterwards explaining to her that it was spam. LoL!! In the end, I think I went as far as setting her up her own E-Mail account on the net, waiting for an hour, checking her inbox, then showing her that it's all random spam, cos her inbox would be full of it. Anyways, that's my little story. But yeah, if someone has used Bail's address for anything, just hope that I don't find you. Scratch that, if you think the JAC knows what you have been up to, you had better hope that I do find you first. Otherwise you'll have Buzz and Whispy knocking on your door, and believe me when I say - That's the last thing that you'll want. - Virtue.  _______________ Academy Architect This comment was edited by Virtue on Aug 18 2004 10:48pm. |

Just block the addresses. Yep, so do I! What sucks is that some people can make programs that can send emails from anyones email address! Yes, even YOURS! I created two yahoo accounts. I got an email from one of them in the other accounts inbox! Oh, and this happened when I was getting lots of viruses sent to me via random peoples email addresses. |

well you can try this: e-mail the admins of the websites you are being suscribed to describing the situation. Ask if in their logs you can have the IP address of whoever suscribed your e-mail at that time. MOST of these registering scripts have these kinds of logging functions. Hopefully one of the admins will give it to you. Then take that IP and give it to Aron...who can probably match it to a JA member if it is indeed one. You can also find out what ISP that IP is on and write to their abuse department and file a formal complaint.

Just calmly click the unsuscribe links and don't let him see you get upset about it (too late ). He'll get tired of it eventually. |
