I am getting SPAMMED with dozens of emails to increase penis size
First of all, I am a female, so I have no use for an extra 3 inches.

But this started just recently. I've had my email account for several years and in just the last couple weeks I started getting bombarded with these male enhancement adds. I sometimes get 2 or 3 an hour now of the same ad from different people.

I don't visit porn sites. I run adware protection and popup blockers, and my machine is clean. Where the hell are they coming from? I installed a a spam blocker and it's not working. They are still getting through. It's very annoying.

I think these spam ads are a contrived just so people can market and sell the damn spam blockers. I just don't believe that there is really a lucrative market in pills that supposedly make a penis grow 3 inches longer. I just don't believe men are stupid enough to be flocking to this in droves.

1. have you submitted your email addy anywhere recently?
Whatever you do, never open them at all. While it loads the pics in the ad, it lets the site that sent the ad know that that address is an active email address.

Also, millions of women have gone through surgery to augment certain things, you don't think men wouldn't flock in droves to something that prmoised said thing without a knife?

7. I've never responded to one, and there have never been pics in the
ones I've opened.

Maybe I'm naive about how many men actually respond to these ads. I just assume the pills don't work and it's just a scam.

2. I got them for months
they are not coming anymore tho, just don't sign up to not get it. No, I didn't feel I needed it. Not bragging, just at peace with my body.

4. Sometimes when I visit "cute and funny" sites, it cranks up on me.
Last year I visited that farting dog website, and i started getting the nastiest spam after that. I guess they captured my email address with a visit; I dunno how it works.

Make sure you just delete; do not respond, even to have your email addy deleted from their list. A response verifies that your addy exisits. At least, this is what the cable tech people told me.

5. may have to do with your email name
i opened an account on my personal domain with my first name (firstname@domain.com). Only used it for personal emails. After a while, it started getting spam. But an account I use for business (register@domain.com) has never gotten ANY spam, despite the fact that I use it to register on various websites and online businesses.

My guess is that the spammers use software that has a database of common email addy names, and just shoot their crap out. Because a name like 'register' is only used by businesses, it's probably not on the list.

Just my 2 cents.

13. Should have printed up some instuctions too...
some people just don't have that "feel" for things. It doesn't work nearly as well on testicles, but it will make them swell!

10. I found a way to make my penis 11 inches long...
I fold it in half. :)

I posted this on another thread, but it's more appropriate here.

11. You're not alone!

I get those fucking things by the truckload, along with variations on the Nigerian "20 million dollars" scam, discount prescription drugs, and most recently on-line universities.

No doubt about it, spammers are the scum of the Internet! And you tought it was the freepers....

12. I think it's a plot to bombard people with spam so they can sell anti-spam
software. All of the Spam-Blockers I looked at were $30 or more. What a rip!

16. Okay then. As I thought, they really don't work.
I am convinced it's a racket to sell spam software.
