Spam! What kinds?


I've noticed that the spam I get is mostly three kinds: people hawking replica watches, people offering to lower my mortgage, and people selling (of all things, to a single senior citizen!) Viagra! I never open spam, but do look at it before deleting, because sometimes the spam filter puts something in there that's not spam. What sort of spam do you get regularly? Isn't it a nuisance?!!!

That's why I go to the folder and look at it before doing "Delete All"...last week a FedEx shipping confirmation got in the Spam folder by mistake! I never open any of the junk, however, but it keeps coming! And not only Viagra, I get penis enlargement
spam too...
