Yes yes, penis enlargements, university diplomas, porn and all that stuff. If I dont check my mail in a week I got around 100 junk mails waiting for me when I log in. So how did they get your email adress?
Oh theres billions of ways. Some get them trough cookies on certian webpages or even banners that uses a certian spyware. Also when you register for something know that there is a market out ther that consists of email adresses. Companies buy and trade lists of email adresses and this is why you get tons of junk mail. Oh and dont even bother to try to unsubscribe. That way you will only tell them that your mail adress is valid and recive twice as much spam. THe worst thing is that theres nothing you can do about it. Sure hotmail offers a BLOCK function. But you can only block 250 email adresses, which you will bypass within a week. So you just got to live with it...
