Every day I have to go through around 100 or more e-mails in my Spam folder just to find the one or two real e-mail items that might have been misfiled. Lately I tend to find 20 to 40 Spam e-mails for a stupid claiming to sell Viagara. Except that he misspells Viagara as Vigara. There may be 4 or 5 different basic e-mails all repeated but they all have the same stupid misspelling of Vigara.
I don't understand some of they Spammers. Some are stupid enough to put Spam in their titles. Then there are the ones claiming you've won a foreign lottery or they claim to be from the United Nations, or Ben Bernanke.
What sort of stupid or amusing Spam have you received?

I put in a filter in my e-mail provider to put e-mail with "vigara" in the sender. Today about 40 e-mails with that in the sender field went to my Trash folder instead the spam folder.

I would suggest you to add those mail id in the block list and you won't get them again.
If you receive any kind of a spam mail never respond to them , if you do you are bound to get 10 times more mails of that type.

I put a filter in to block the Vigara e-mails but the others are not repetitive enough so I would need a hundred more filters and still not block them all.

I changed my e-mail address but that only worked for awhile before the spam caught up with me again.

Yuh! those spams were kind a stupid. My e mail also receives viagra spam mail and some "You won $1,000,000". Some kind of sh*t. hehe.. I decided to change my permanent e mail address because it also sends messages to my contacts that I endorse viagra. What the hell. hehe..
