Everyone must admit that they are sick of “spam”. Spam is where your email account gets signed up to hundreds of useless newsletters and scams that are targeted to clutter up your mailbox and make you unable to access your account because of the amount of emails that you have in your inbox.
Bottom line is everyone hates SPAM. But there is going to be no way to get rid of it apart from spam filters but that’s just going to clutter up the filter. (great!).
A recent victim to Spam has been Virgin. Email accounts were being flooded with spam newsletter’s meaning that user’s couldn’t access their emails for up to 4 days. I can just imagine that being the hardest thing to do if you are a workaholic. Haha.
The spam became so bad that the emails that the actual legitimate couldn’t get through to the receiver. This in itself is a frustrating thing if you are waiting for an email. I myself have been in the same situation! Whenever a customer tried to access their account they got an error message. Error messages can be very annoying so if you were trying to look at your emails then imagine that ! Thank god for Google Mail i say.
Around 200,000 people use the Virgin service. However only half of those were affected. Good for those who were on the half who didn’t get it! This is totally ridiculous that spam can breach these parameters that the webmail services put in place. We should really start to do anything possible to get rid of spam.
Although Spamza doesn’t help! We can only hope that it stays down. Sorry for all those who are spam enthusiasts!
