SPAM

Medyo napapansin ko lately, parang dumadami ang SPAM sa Yahoo email ko. Kahit i-block mo yung address parang hindi pa rin effective kase nakakalusot pa rin. Then kanina, ni-check ko yung blocked addresses, napansin ko na parang nagmu-mutate lang sila. Damn! Ang gulo tuloy ng inbox ko.

Have you guys experienced this? Is there a way para ma-stop ito. Dati naman hindi ganyan eh. Is there a new thing going on?

may bago silang gimmick. Look at those message that didn't went to the Bulk folders. Make sure you don't load images. You will notice a picture of the ad followed by some cryptic and meaningless text. It doesn't really mean anything other than fooling the yahoo filter. And it seems to work.

BTW if you did load the image of the ad, sorry, but you'll be dumped with even more mail. Loading that image tagged your e-mail as 'active'. And spammers love 'active' e-mails :(

Pwede mong i-stop/prevent ito in your own way. Don't forward email messages or if you need to forward put all the recipients list in the BCC field inform also your friends to do this. Another way is to create a seperate account for mailing lists sites. Spammers tend to "harvest" any email that they will get in mailing lists and web sites.
