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 =

getting lax with their e-mail filtering.

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.
