So for some reason, my personal e-mail address got put on some spam list. I have another e-mail account that I use specifically for online related stuff (spam e-mail), so can't say how this happened. Although it looks like I'm getting this spam from multiple e-mail addresses that look like regular users, I'm pretty sure it's all from one single source. This isn't even a spam that has an "unsubscribe" option either, but then those things only give you even more spam anyway. I marked the messages as spam on my yahoo account, however I also added e-mail filters to the source addresses. In fact, it's becoming a small collectible thing for me now, where I keep adding addresses to the filter. So if you have any e-mail addresses that includes one of these listed below... sorry, but I'm not going to be receiving your mail anymore...
@hotmail.com
@live.ru
@windowslive.com
@preservela.com
@live.com
@hey-lisa.comyes, hotmail.com is a pretty significant address to get filtered, but who really uses that e-mail client nowadays?

haha what's a hey-lisa.com?
You can go ahead and yell at trabin9. He got a virus on his tablet and it looks like his contact list was collected.
All the computer security in the world doesn't secure between the keyboard and the chair. I chalk it up to an ID10T error.
@darren_macintyre - is that what happened? lol
@kalamai - i do not know what hey-lisa.com is, and I'm not going to try to find out. ^_^
@patrick005 - Yup yup... he spammed lots of us directly. He prolly got a bunch of us on some spammer databases as well but my filters are good.
