Unbelievable

I was just checking my mail and there was one from a guy with a subject of "Nothing to Lose". Had no idea who he was, so I did a quick search online with his name and subject line - the only thing I came up with as 1) some guy with a big ad agency (like he'd be contacting me) and 2) a black dude on death row looking for a pen pal (hopefully not one of my brother's clients).

Either way, glad I didn't open it... sheesh...

With Googlemail, I don't seem to get much *crap* i.e. emails selling Viagra!!! HELLO!!! It seems to filter out lots of the spam.

Usually if it is SPAM, it's not actually a real name!

Hey, I got the name Carlos Flores from Spam, and just had to use it. (can't remember if it was two names and I made the one, or it came as Carlos Flores...damn should have kept that email!) - Now I don't get SPAM emails gosh, I'm gonna find it hard to name my OC's.

Eww, creepy.

I can't understand these women that want to write to guys on death row. What the heck is that about?

My mail filters out ALL spam. I've got great protection that way.
