Why am I getting so much spam about improving my love life, or Viagra lately?

[Lil Missy]

I don't even read them, but I am sure "improving my love life" means heterosexual. Not that I would fall for any gay ads either.

What really piques my curiosity are all these messages from people who think I have a room to rent? I've never been to a rent site, nor have I ever advertised nor had a desire to take in a renter or roommate? The messages are always from someone in another country too?

Do you get roommate messages too? Or did someone sign me up for this as a sick joke. Also, are you getting the sex and Viagra messages, all of a sudden?

1. I get viagra ads and I don't have a penis

And if I wanted to 'knock her socks off' or however else they phrase it I would have to be a lesbian. And viagra STILL wouldn't do anything for my penisless self.

2. Oh, I don't have a penis either. I think those ads are random.

And it doesn't take an advertisement for a lesbian to figure out what it takes either.

Quit reading those messages.

7. me neither and I get them too. nt

[Lil Missy]

3. So, is anyone else geting the "roommate" spam? Or is it just me?

4. every single day I have the timeshare spam and the lawn patch spam

I have NO idea why

[Lil Missy]

5. Lawn patch? WTF? That's one I've never seen???

[yellowdogintexas]

6. oh it is about brown spots in the lawn. I just delete it after Yahoo

has placed it in the Spam file.

I forgot about the Christian Dating one and the printer ink refill ad

I don't think the Lawn patch and Printer Ink are necessarily spam, I just don't know how/why I am getting them.

8. Everyone is talking about your sex life....didn't know you?

It's the talk of the Internet. Those are people who are just trying to help you!

:rofl:

[Lil Missy]

10. Yeah. My sex life is a major concern.

9. Just ignore it. It isn't a sick joke. You gave your email to some group and they sold

it. I occaisionally get some like email. They are just trying to make a buck. Put it into your junk email and ignore it.

[Lil Missy]

11. I just don't understand all this roommate shit? What is the purpose of that?

Oh, I do let them go to junk mail, and never open them. I just don't understand why I am getting so many all of a sudden.

[applegrove]

12. Could be that your email is similar to someone who was looking for a roomate.

These businesses really don't care who they send emails to - they just want high numbers of emails sent. Ignore it.
