Bhuz spam messages

Hi Rosey

I've received a junk message in my spam account...basically one of those scams saying they've been left a large sum of money which they want to put into my account....I haven't deleted it in case you need the user name, but I wanted to let you know.

Thanks!

SPAM!

Revolting! UGH!

I got a message from Zorba about this today, and deleted the "member" who sent this, and banned their IP address.

To all members - if you get a spam type private message, please send me an email (click on my avatar and choose send email) with the member name that it came from, and I will delete that account. That will remove any messages sent by that person.

I read recently that 70% of all email that is sent now is spam, a horrible concept, and now the spammers are invading our world here. But, I can get rid of them, it's easy. So, let me know if you get spam in your BHUZ inbox.

Our company recently changed e-mail servers, and during a brief period during the transition we had no spam-blocker. According to our IT dept., during that 12 hr window 92,485 e-mails passed through our server, 87,547 of which were spam. Outrageous!!!

Holy mackerel.

The number are bigger, but the 70% figure is about the same as my snail mail!

There's a cream for that you know. I can forward some spam to help you fix it!
(bet you never knew Spam could make things grow - and that's without hiding it in pineapple & brown sugar - okay, if you have never been poor (or tasteless) then you won't get that reference)

How about the one where they will give you 30% of their billion dollar fortune . . . if you just help them to distribute the rest of it to the poor deserving ppl in your country (I got one like that today in one of my email accounts and it is just one of many). . . Do they really want to clean out my bank account??? I don't have anything anyway!!!
