This week saw 16 spam e-mails being trapped by my filter. Of these 7 were for pills and potions and 2 for replica watches. There was one spam e-mail touting a fake degree and one rather old styled "Advance Fee Fraud" scam e-mail. There 4 in the "Phishing" category, all trying to get bank account details from the unwary. There was also one of these daft LinkedIn fake e-mails as well. All of this stuff has now suffered the fate that awaits all spam coming my way - deleted without mercy!

This week's total was 8 spam e-mails being trapped by my filter. Of these, 3 were for pills and potions and one was for replica watches. There was one in the "advance fee fraud" category and one that was supposedly from Santander bank, seeking bank account details. There was one dodgy e-mail that was purportedly from LinkedIn, but was a fake and one that claimed to be from YouTube which was very suspicious. It, and the others have now gone to their eternal resting place in the icy depths of cyberspace.

This week's total was 16 spam e-mails that were trapped by my filter. Of these 10 were for pills and potions, 3 were for replica watches and handbags and the remaining 2 were allegedly from LinkedIn, but in reality were aimed at getting people to visit a page with malware that would then attempt to install itself on the victim's computer. Both of these, along with the other rubbish has now been zapped out of existence.

This week saw 12 saw e-mails being caught up in my filter. Of these 6 were for pills and potions of various descriptions and certainly of dubious origin, with no doubt, strange side effects. I doubt that they will even do any of the things claimed. There was one spam e-mail for replica watches and one for a gambling website. There was one spam e-mail in the "phishing" category, claiming to be from Santander Bank and seeking account detail confirmation.

There was also something new this week, span via LinkedIn, the networking website. There were two spam e-mails from this source, so I have tweaked my spam filter settings to blacklist LinkedIn. Finally, there was one spam e-mail from Someone named "Yulenka" who seems to be desperate to "be my friend". This is the first one to show up here, but I have already had a number of these at work, and all have been treated the same way - sent to oblivion! Sorry Yulenka, if you really want to be my friend, you will have to show up in person - which, I know, will never happen.

The first week of 2012 saw 20 spam e-mails being intercepted by my filter. Of these 15 or 75% were for pills of various descriptions. There was one spam e-mail for cheap replica watches whilst the remaining 4 spam e-mails were all attempts to get bank account information out of Santander Bank customers and all were clearly fake. So another 20 spam e-mails have gone through the virtual shredder of oblivion!
