Put it this way, if you have any left over...don't send it to me, never ever eat the stuff
Seriously tho, sorry to hear of your problem. I've had similar instances from various other sources, and no matter how many times I marked them as JUNK, deleted them and set filters to block them, they'd still keep coming, day in, day out. I finally got them stopped by deleting my account and reopening it with a slightly different addy....since then I've been relatively free of spam
To be quite honest, I don't think the Junk filters in Hotmail work too well at all, if at all. MS certainly needs to address this issue.
Anyhow, best of luck with it

Without a word of a lie, when I gave a rotty I once had some Spam cos I wouldn't eat it, he turned up his nose and walked away from it....I later had to discard it to the garbage bin.

It seems they want you to answer it. I had this problem years back, and had to switch email service to get it to quit. Don't know what to tell you to help. Good luck. Try "Junk Mail".

I haven't eaten SPAM since the 70s. Dad came back from 'Nam with a hankering for it. I never liked the stuff, but dad says SPAM's good with e'rything! NOT! Only if you've not eaten in a week, might it be somewhat palletable.

I gotta figure out how to do all those emoticons.
Is it against the rules to change avatars? Will I git flamed? Cuz I don't want a bunch of spam gelatin splattin all over me.

Theyre all scam artists trying to get your personal information. I have seen crap like this on Craigslist before too...
