Re: Increase in Spam?
In Response To: Re: Increase in Spam? ()

I got some of those here on AOL from a sender called ENLARGEYOURPENIS. That address indicates that it is sent through AOL since it does not contain an IP address after the name. I was getting those in batches of 2 or 3 per wave and would get them about 3 times a week. I just ignored them for a while and then out of frustration opened one and tried to see if it was an AOL account. It was ENLARGEYOURPENIS @ aol.com. I typed in the address to the "People Directory" and was told that that screen name contained words that are a violation of AOL terms of service and was not an acceptable screen name. This confuesd me so I sent complaints to AOL and inquired into how an illegitimate screen named AOL account could be sending so much offensive and harrassing spam. I then started to get 5 or 6 a day every day. I reported it, again, to AOL saying that it was harrassment and finally no more. However, I then started to get about 20 or more of them a week under about 6 different titles and addresses. Now, none are, appearently, AOL names and I have been getting them ever since. They have dropped off though in that I am not getting them in waves. I do still get at least one or two a day though. I don't know if it is technically possible to do but it almost seem sometimes that when you delete one from your mailbox without opening it you almost immediately get another. mad
