The Scammers have a programme which basically guess email addresses. Sometimes they are lucky, well they probably send millions a day. It helps if you don't have a common provider like hotmail.com or gmail...... Best way is to spend $10 or so for a .com domain with email and have emails sent to there.

I don't need to surf for porn as we have access to it all day at work, when you work with it 24/7 it does become like watching paint dry. thats right, I get paid to look at porn..

As for being a 'Worldy' Dee Why local, yes I moved to Dee why after living in many other countries and flying around Asia Pacific for 5 years for work, I emigrated from Europe about 5 years ago. I've worked with porn in many a country..

in answer to your question, its down to the ISP or provider and how they filter spam, some do better than others. gmail is very good and it can be worthwhile forwarding all your email to gmail and back again to filter out the spam. Also a lot of websites that take your email address will either give them away or get hacked and once your email is in the public domain its open to abuse.

this website is dedicated to this type of emails --- you should visit this site as its actually very interesting as these people hit back at the scamers and scam them on the promise of sending them the money they originally ask for ...
