Not sure if it's coincidence or not, but it seems like right after I signed up here I started receiving Spam stock tips in my inbox...
They're "alerts" on hot stocks that advise me to BUY BUY BUY! The annoying thing is the sender is never the same. The subject seems to be a random word generator with such things as: "Trinity Stupor" "Orbs" & "Concave" AND there are no actual words in the email... the email is actually an embedded PNG picture with the text in it so I can't block the sender, can't filter it out by the subject and can't make a rule to search for words in the body of the message.
Has anyone else experienced this? |

| Gee..I didn't know that was spam, maybe I shouldn't have followed the links to an unsecured website with no stock tips and given them my credit card number, lol. I get a lot of that spam too, but I was also getting it before I signed up here, so it's hard to tell where they got my email address. I use gmail, and they do a pretty good job of blocking spam. |

I've never gotten any of that, this site does not sell email addresses. |
