    hotmail

    dont know if you guys are getting the same shite as me, but lately i have been getting a ton of spam and phishing crap on hotmail. latest was supposed to be from hotmail in the worst English you could imagine telling me my account.. a wait my ACCount would be terminated if i didnt send them my password where i live etc, surely hotmail should know its a scam and filter this shite. anyone else have this or is it just me as usual

    it may well be forwarded from a contacts email addy and therefore wouldnt be flagged as spam
    Fave replies from various threads

    1: What the fff is all that about??? All that crap below your reply I mean, get a life mate
    2: no info on google abt the pace sv5 rang asda they have no idea what i was talking about,
    3: Your total contribution to this forum, bordering on trolling, seems to have been a collection of snipes, one liners & asterisked expletives

      Yeah one of my mates got his hacked kept getting junk mail from him for a week till he changed his password. It got through as it was his name and he's on my safe list. How high is your spam filter on it mate try turning it up a bit I don't get much these days maybe thats cause the spammers don't like me either.

            easy way now mate. Click on the bar at top. You can block these addresses permanently. I have been filtering for the past few weeks and i hardly get any spam now.

              just a quick note, could be virus crap, codehot.co.uk has a trojan dropper on their server and my virus killer wont let me log on to warn them. trojan droppers turn off virus software and install all sorts of crap apps and other unwaned software plus leting other virus,worms etc the user wont see.
