Why do I seem to be the only person getting this type of spam?

Category: General

Solution ID: 00000233

Summary:

Why am I getting the type of spam that I am getting? Other people aren't getting this stuff! Why am I?

Answer:

Different people get different types of spam for a number of reasons ranging from online behaviour to visibility on the Internet. E-mail address harvesting also plays a big role as do the movements of e-mail address lists. It tends to go in waves as well.

Be careful when supplying your e-mail address to any survey, contest or the like. Such things will most likely get your e-mail address placed on any number of spammer lists.
