1,000th Post

This is the one thousandth post to this blog, That's almost 1,000 spam emails posted here.

Considering that I probably only post 1% of the spam emails I get to one email address, it means that I have received over 100,000 spam emails since I started this blog. Can you imagine how many must be being sent around the world, to hundreds of millions of people.

Say there are 1 Billion email accounts in the world and the average email account was hit with 20,000 spam messages per year, that's a staggering 20 trillion spams using up valuable bandwidth and costing us all real money. Not to mention the poor fools who lose their cash to scammers spamming them.

Just remember, never send your credit card information in an email. You have not won the lottery! Unless you bought a ticket, you didn't even have a chance. No-one that you never heard of died and left you millions. Your bank won't contact you by email and tell you to update your details.

Take care out there.
