The porn spam just downloads itself.
I delete any mail that comes that I can't identify - or that I identify as

Does your address appear on any Web pages? One of my addresses, my old
university address, was grabbed by spammers from LaRae's Locate-a-Lacemaker
page. I didn't know it was there as a clickable link (those are very easy
for spammers to grab automatically), but when I found it I

There is a long article in the current "Computeractive" magazine on how
email addresses are harvested, keeping spam out of your inbox and what can
be done to stop it being sent in the first place eg Spamcop. Part of the
article is:

You should never reply to these things AT ALL! It let the spammer know
they have a "live" address and you'll never see the end of junk you receive.

and if we applied for a VISA card by giving them all our bank and other card

A friend of mine got caught with that one, apart from the unexpected
