Anyone else gettting loads of junk e-mails with pdf attachments?

45 of the bleeders this morning!!

 

Yes - not as many as 45 mind, just one or two but strange all the same.

 

My Nigeria scam letters + various lottery wins in places as diverse as Haiti and Benin have increased to at least five a day.

 

i often find.....

the more "adult websites" i visit the more spam i get...... wanna tell us anything cazi ????

 

My hotmail account gets loads as thats what I use if I need to register for a website...my blueyonder one hardly gets any spam.

 

we had this from the IT dept at work the other day.... just to warn you all!

Dear all,

there has been a new spam technique developed, involving PDF files.

If you don't recognise the sender of a PDF with a strange name, don't open it, delete the email.

When a new technique is developed by the spammers, it inevitably takes a little while for the anti-spam filter providers to catch up and block the messages reliably. We are in this phase of the process at the moment.

Can I take this opportunity to remind everyone that no anti-spam or anti-virus solution can ever be 100% effective. Therefore it is incumbent upon email users to be vigilant, don't simply rely on virus scanners and anti-spam solutions catching everything (even though we use several of the best available).

 

RE: i often find.....

Errm, forgive me father for I have sinned

 

Thanks for that - annoying little buggers are spammers

 

loads and loads for penis extentions and viagra. sombody trying to tell me summet. If I ever buy viagra it'll only be to stop me rolling out of bed at neet.

 

in my day a spam was a firm slap on the forehead for no reason.

other then bullying.

 

Ah, bit like a tefal slap?

 

exactly. If you had a high hairline, you were a boffin or something and deserved a slap.

Playground justice, you can't beat it.
