Watch / Clock Spam?
 
Is it just me ....

or is anyone else getting loads of email spam about Clocks, Watches and Timepieces. A typical example is shown below:

came bully in contact with the warm flesh of a at this point pair of living legs. The exclamation of surprise have a clear conscience that For lamp a moment neither the man room nor the woman moved.

*********************

I get about 10 of the above a day - I can not block them as such because the domain name is always different. I have not tried clicking on the link incase it does something it should not....

Any idea how to stop this?

thanks

Yup, me too. And I hate wristwatches - I don't like wearing _anything_ on my hands.

But T'bird drops 'em all in the junk pile for me.

Most spam for me gets canned by Outlook so I don't see it much, but I occasionally look through the spam folder to see if there are any legit emails that have been canned by accident and to see what kind of stuff is being solicited.

Spam for me usually comes for a number of subjects all of which that I have absolutely no interest in: -

Watches/timepieces, or more to the point, duff replicas worth nothing.
Online pharmacies selling Cialis, Viagra etc without need for a doctor.
Weight loss pills
Degrees from godknowswhere (definitely not a university!)
"Small Cap" investment things and other "invest in this company" crap
Mortgages/loans of all shapes and sizes
Dodgy software - "Out of this WoRLD $aving$ on all Microsoft titles"
Solicitations for porn of all sorts; animal, gay, straight, teen etc - you name it - I've probably received it
Dating services of all kinds - "the only service that guarantees you some sh@gging with your locals", often accompanied with pictures of scantily clad mingers in the body of the email.
Viagra, Cialis and lots of crap designed to help with ones erectile ability and to increase your "volume" and "come like in porn movies".
Nigerian 419 scams - a sob story designed to entice you into handing over your bank details or meeting some person at a dodgy knocking shop.
Phishing emails with a link to a fake bank site to convince you to hand over your passwords so they can drain your account and steal your identity.

Does anyone else receive spam on a subject other than the above? Because that's all what I seem to get - and loads of them as well.

Thats weird u mention that i thought it was just me. Used to get loads of crap about Viagra etc which i hardly ever get now. Now its things like " brad pitt has one" advertising rolex watches etc etc etc. Think i'll need to invest in some sort of spam filter.

I win several Spanish lotteries a day. Maybe I'm just really lucky?

I get the watch ones too, but they're nowhere near as worrying as the ones I get about curing my alleged toe nail fungus :sick:
