I'm using a Yahoo! account which I have been very careful and have not gone
into any websites or submitted this email account to anywhere which could
lead to me getting spam mail. I'm also anal about spyware and stuff and my PC
is very well protected against all that and I also make sure to update my
spyware definitions and anti-virus definitions on a daily basis. So far so
good for the last 4 years of using this email account. The only spam I
receive is from 2-3 sites that regularly send stuff which I'm still unable to
get rid of.
However, a month ago, I started posting in this discussion group. Since
then, I've been receiving TONS of spam mail. I thought this might be a
coincidence so I performed a little test...
I created another email address in Yahoo! and did nothing for a week. Then I
did a post in this discussion group again. Immediately after that, TONS of
spam mail have been flooding into that account, confirming my suspicions.
I am not an idiot and have been very careful NOT to check those checkboxes
that allow Microsoft or its partners to send me solicitation email whenever I
login, change my profile, or post something here. Yet, the spam comes in.
Has anyone experienced this same thing?
Don't you think Microsoft or the administrators of this forum ought to do
something about this?
