I think there's been an increase in spam because someone probably figured
out that most of our email addresses are exposed on AZGeocaching.com. I had
been surprised that someone hadn't used a bot to get them yet. I've seen an
increase recently in my inbox as well. I heard that the UK is going to
start cracking down on spammers and have them thrown in jail, so some of
them are pushing out a greater volume to get their last little bit of
money...or so I'm told by some spammers I know from Europe.

The Nigerian scam is the latest ploy that some people seem to keep falling
for. I'm not sure about the yahoo issue specifically, but I'm getting quite
a bit more SPAM than I used to, and I believe Cox is just getting lax with
their e-mail filtering.

Subject: [Az-Geocaching] off topic e-mail question
Sorry that this is off topic, but is anyone else with a yahoo e-mail
getting larger amounts of spam that is the Nigerian scam? I've also been
getting some with odd foreign subject headings that I can't even decipher. I
haven't been opening them, but are these some sort of virus attacks or just
attempts to defraud me? Any ideas? I'm beginning to be a bit spooked about
it.
