I have 3 email accounts I use;
1st is for hobby/mongering/porno site related functions only. It is a Hotmail account - I get virtually no spam in that account.
2nd is for legit business and personal correspondence that consists of myname@Verizon.net. I purchased that name (and 4 more I can use) for a one time nominal cost (like 20 bucks) couple of years ago. I get almost zero (maybe a couple a year) spam. It is accessible from my computer and iPhone.
3rd is one I use for those situations where a store wants an email address, registration for software and warranties and the like - no porno, mongering sites, etc - nothing dicey. Up until 2 months ago maybe I was getting 1 or 2 spam emails a week. This has increased lately to 15 of so a day. The spams are phishing types where my credit score has changed or facebook friend (I have no facebook account) or problem with a bank account or an occasional Nigerian prince wants to send me money. this is a @aol.com account.
Have you guys seen a recent big increase in spam? What do you think is going on?
