Looks familiar? My “bulk” folder in Yahoo is driving me nuts. Hotmail aptly calls it the “Junk” folder. Apart from the annoyance of seeing hundreds of spam emails in my “bulk” folder, I have the added inconvenience of losing some personal email which ends up in that folder. I have wondered long and hard about who sends these spam emails! I am supposed to believe that the only heir to the king of Nigeria has emailed me and asked me for my bank account number so he could transfer $5 million immediately? Seriously, I have yet to meet a person who has refinanced his mortgage or added 4 inches by clicking on a spam email. Apparently there are thousands of scammers and phishers, hoping you click on their spam emails and links and do to you what you were hoping to do to those hot singles.
