German spam

scaeagles · 05-16-2005, 07:58 AM

OK - I get spam like everyone else who uses email. But over the last week, I've been getting spam - 5 or 6 a day - in German. I don't speak German, and have no idea why I am getting German spam. Does this happen to anyone else?

Ich habe keine Idee, über was Sie sprechen.

Well, you may have no idea what I speak (thank you, free translations online), but I am wondering why this phenomena only started in the last week. I've been getting spam in English for years.

I've been getting it too! And in my inbox! I ususally don't get much spam...but it's been very frequent and it's German! Weird!

I'm getting it too, ugh. Filtering out email with the phrase "Lese selbst:" has helped a little though.

Shoot! Slow speed....double post!

What is this spam you speak of?

I have been getting a TON of this over the last week also! It just bombarded me last week.
