Is it the same message everytime? Can you put that first line (loterie nationale) in your spam filter? I don't use hotmail, so not sure if you can specify text within the body of the message.

SPAM Attack!


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.

I have gotten about 6 of those emails in the past 2 weeks..from the Netherlands, Spain, and the one you posted here.

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.

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

scorpio-logic: It depends on how the new avatar looks. Everything rated 4 stars or more, will be safe.

I'm curious: if the draw was conducted from this exclusive list of 15,000, why is it that you were the 200.000 000 th person to receive that exact same email promising that exact same amount of money in the exact same draw?

Seems to me, they either got their sums wrong, or they got a whole shitload o' money to give away that they just ain't admittin' to.

Oh well after blocking around 60-70 addresses and setting my Spam filter to auto-delete spam messages things seems to get better...at least it stopped for this wave...i know retaliation ain't a good thing but i might have to consider it as an option... Maybe a bot-script to autosend from a new account tons and tons of junk back to those addresses...
