I get very few spam emails to my Yahoo or Hotmail accounts - certainly no more than to a proper ISP address.

If you use Firefox as your web browser there are several ad-blocking add-ons that get rid of the anoying advertising email.

Happy modelling.

I've had my Hotmail.com address since 1996/1997, and I hardly get any spam.  In the early days of the internet when everyone's personal websites had Guestbooks I plastered my email address all over the web......sadly they're still there.   Still, I only get about 5 spam emails a day from it, but about 60 from my NGF emails a day.....which is only 4 years old!!!

Yea.. way to go, Boss!

However, Steven B. - I use Firefox and will look at this. Thanks for the tip! I am very wary of clicking on add-ons, but if you want to send details via pm, I'd appreciate it!

I have a few different accounts and I've found that the spam seems to be dropping off. Having said that, I keep getting mails from various friends saying they are stuck in Kiev without any money, please send £2000 to....

If you use a mail program, rather than web mail, your spam filters can catch most of them. I use Outlook on my PC or the inbuilt reader on my iPad.

I thought that I was immune to this sort of stuff (pretend naivety), but my credit card account got hacked at the end of last month and (thankfully small) transactions were made on it.

So please, all forum members, be aware!
