Until very recently I almost never saw any scam emails on my accounts. (I am not referring to viruses and other nasties here.) However, in the last two or three months or so I seem to be getting a lot of rubbish sent to me.
They seem to come in different groups. I have had some from 'ladies' with Russian sounding names who want to be my friend. ÂI have had some which offer to improve my presence on the web. Others are offers of ways to make money easily and quickly. And I need hardly mention the ones that can improve my love life with various medical nostrums.[1]
Is it just me or is this stuff really increasing recently? I used to get such items very rarely, perhaps two or three times a year. (That is not a typo, they were that rare.) Now I get some most days.
I would be interested to hear what others on the list think,
Neil
