| You all know about those spam mails you all get at a daily basis in your e-mail inbox and such. Usually they're trying to sell something and such, but why, OH why, do some people just send e-mails with random characters in it? What USE does it have to them? Edit: And how do they get your e-mail? I made a totally new hotmail account and I didn't select any ad-mails and the first day I already had heaps of spam mail. :l (edited by Coby on 06-16-04 04:07 PM) |

| Hotmail accounts are easy to find, I guess. My AOL account got heaps of spam before I ever told anyone about it. It's just predictable. It's not always about common domains.. I mean, my Yahoo accounts gets virtually no spam, and I've signed it up to things. |

I never get spam, and I have four e-mail accounts. I get no spam whatsoever. I got a nigeria letter once but that's it.  They use bots, programs that crawl all over the internet after e-mail addresses. Or they take it from huge "e-mail registeres"  |

| YD: No, I don't think that's it. I've occasionally signed up for various things and I have gotten *no* spam on my current @aol.com E-Mail address. | |||

| Bots that look for e-mail addresses? Evil. :O So that's why most people type their e-mails like blabla at hotmail dot com. | |||

Originally posted by Yoshi DudeOriginally posted by Kyouji "Kagami" Craw You would think that, but I haven't activated any spam filters, and probably won't until I start getting some actual spam. As it stands, I don't feel like fiddling around with options, but I also don't feel like having some of my actual mail not getting through. |

Originally posted by CobyYes that's why, heck even I do that. Especially after seeing that google have found my profile page. You never know but if one of thoose "e-mail seeking" bots came to Acmlm board...  But there is other ways to fool the robots to, like doing a script which looks ok for humans. But gibberish for the bot. |

Originally posted by Kyouji "Kagami" CrawOriginally posted by Yoshi DudeOriginally posted by Kyouji "Kagami" Craw But it's automatically set. I just heard that there is a cellphone virus out. It doesn't do anything, but it's paving the way. Is it also on its way for cellphone spam too? I don't mean telemarketers, I mean things appearing on your screen. |

Originally posted by Yoshi Dude ... And I'm pretty sure I turned it off at some point. Could be wrong, though. Anyway... Yeah, I heard that a few months ago or possibly late last year on the news; Supposedly it infected some sites, took the form of a downloadable ringtone, and when you downloaded it it made your cellphone's screen flash "VIRUS". |

| "... And I'm pretty sure I turned it off at some point. " "As it stands, I don't feel like fiddling around with options" I assumed that meant you didn't feel like fiddling around with the options, thus not turning it off. And it was old? I just heard it on the news today, like some breaking story or something. I almost never watch the news, so I don't keep up with this stuff regardless.  It said that what it does is your screen flashes a word, and it can spread to other cellphones 30 feet away. |

| Supposedly it infected some sites, took the form of a downloadable ringtone, and when you downloaded it it made your cellphone's screen flash "VIRUS". I once watched a computer show where they used that SAME effect to simulate a virus infection. Talk about low-rent. XD Sympatico blocks most spam aside from anything Viagra related, but Thunderbird picks up on most of them. |

Originally posted by Yoshi DudeYep. It's new, it's for Symbian-based phones, Nokia phones with the Series 60 OS in them I think. It spreads via Bluetooth, this wireless standard they have for connecting stuff wirelessly. And the 30 feet is the maximum range of bluetooth. |

| While you sit there wondering WTF the point of such spam is, your browser attempts to load the 1x1-pixel transparent GIF image "http://www.spammerswebsite.com/verifyaddress.php?youremail@yahoo.com". They now know that your address is valid. You have just signed up for an assload of spam. Congratulations. | |||
